The iPhone 5s is undoubtedly the best iPhone Apple has ever built. You cannot use this phone without being amazed by its beautiful design and the incredible technologies that Apple has packing inside it. It combines the iPhone 5’s gorgeous look and build quality with cutting-edge features that truly make the iPhone 5s a “forward-thinking” phone.

The iPhone 5s is undoubtedly the best iPhone Apple has ever built.

It may not have a 1080p display and a thousand features, half of which you’ll never really use, but its new 64-bit processor and the improved iSight camera alone make the iPhone 5s an irresistible upgrade. When you add Touch ID and the M7 coprocessor to that mix, you have a smartphone that really changes things again and takes Apple one step ahead of its competition.

This is the closest any smartphone comes to being perfect.

Whether you’re a fan of iOS or not, you can’t help but be impressed by the iPhone 5s, and what Apple has achieved with it. I’ve been using Android almost exclusively for the past six months, and I’ve becoming something of an Android “fanboy” — but that’s going to have to change for the iPhone 5s.

Maybe there is a little room for improvement in places, but this is the closest any smartphone out there comes to being perfect.
