iPhone 5S delivers an improved camera, a nifty fingerprint sensor, and a next-gen CPU and motion-tracking chip. External design is identical to that of the iPhone 5, including a 4-inch screen that looks downright tiny next to Android competitors. For now, the fingerprint sensor only works with Apple apps. iOS 7 differences are potentially jarring for longtime iPhone users.
iPhone 5s owners used 7 times the amount of data as iPhone 3G owners in developed markets (20% more than the iPhone 5), and 20 times as much in developing markets (50% more than the iPhone 5). More data use often means bigger and pricier data plans for carriers, so this trend could certainly be a good reason for carriers to love iPhone 5s owners more than other smartphone users.
Last year's iPhone 5 was the best iPhone we'd ever seen. Enter the iPhone 5S, which along with the iPhone 5C mark the first time Apple's delivered two new iPhones in one year. But the 5C is really the iPhone 5 in colored plastic. We wanted a bigger screen, an improved camera, and better battery life. Apple gave us a fingerprint sensor, an improved camera, and a faster processor. Apple does this every other year with iPhones -- see the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S. Check back in two months; after new apps emerge, maybe the iPhone 5S will start seeming like a truly new iPhone.
The iPhone 5 has gotten better. The iPhone 5 was a somewhat subtle but completely thorough redesign of the iPhone, from screen size to headphone placement. There's no 128GB iPhone this year; you'll have to once again pick between 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, at the same $199/$299/$399 prices. "Touch ID" is Apple's fingerprint sensor, a secret sauce of clever scanning technology that amounts to a home button that's now both capacitive and clickable.
Touch ID's on iPhone 5s simple round button works on a simple press, versus a "swipe" gesture on a lot of previous fingerprint readers. It's fast: a simple click on the button and the phone unlocks, the scan happening invisibly. It's fast: a simple click on the button and the phone unlocks, the scan happening invisibly.
