Apple’s iPhone 5s represents the biggest “S” upgrade an iPhone has ever seen. The guts of the phone have been completely overhauled, just as BGR exclusively reported they would be back in May. Beyond the internals, Apple’s new Touch ID fingerprint scanner also makes the 5s the first “S” upgrade ever to include a major new user-facing hardware feature. The processor is better, two of the color options are new, the battery lasts longer, the camera takes better photos and even the display is slightly easier on the eyes thanks to its cooler tone. But as a total package in the context of being an upgrade from last year’s iPhone model, Apple’s iPhone 5s may very well be the least impressive jump to date.
First and foremost, the iPhone 5s is the best iPhone Apple has ever made. This is important, though the same could safely have been said of every single new iPhone model that came before it.
The iPhone 5s is also an improvement over last year’s iPhone 5. In fact, benchmark tests suggest it’s a big improvement over its predecessor. Despite its dual-core processor and only 1GB of RAM, performance tests show that Apple’s iPhone 5s positively slaughters every other smartphone on the market, including quad- and eight-core Android hero phones. It trounces the iPhone 5 as well.
