A lot has changed ever since this guy came out (iPhone 5s) screens got bigger and bezzels got smaller and today in 2018 you can pick this thing up (iPhone 5s) for less than hundred dollars so is it worth it how does it perform and should you get one or should you even be using one let's find out the Starwood designed this is one of the legendary designs from Apple in fact Apple is still selling this design and the square-shaped body has the iPhone se it does have some upgraded processors and a better camera and it's definitely gonna be a little faster than this guy but it's also gonna be a lot more expensive where with this thing you can get a use 5s for less than hundred dollars factory unlocked and not only that this is still one of the best phones you can get for one hand use unless you have to budget for the SE which has also significantly dropped in price ever since the iPhone 10 and make sure you check that review if you haven't already and in the meanwhile I'll really appreciate if you take a second out to subscribe but anyways back to the topic you can't fall for the small screen size this thing still has a lot of power and features packed in this little body holding it in hand is still feels quite premium and even stands out with competition to the iPhone X so to put into simple words there's nothing the iPhone X can do and this thing can't when it comes to deal usage it's so beautiful looking phone and honestly the only downfall in terms of design would be the 4-inch display and has we started moving towards bezel as phones and a bigger screen size it won't be much longer the big bezel phones would start to disappear but if you are okay with the small screen size for now this thing.
definitely has a lot to offer it's also one of the few phones with a headphone jack so you may also see that has added benefit other than that we have a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera which is a little outdated nowadays but is still gets the job done the back facing camera is 8 megapixels which is also a little outdated when it comes to pixels but performance wise it performs just fine the pictures are still really sharp a lot of detail and good colours and that's honestly what matters here especially if you're taking pictures to upload them on Instagram snapchat or anywhere on the internet because they will end up compressing your pictures and videos so a 8 or a 12 megapixel camera after the compression wouldn't really make a big difference or moving on speaking in terms of stories this is where the iPhone 5s is we left behind the 5s was available in 16 32 and 64gb but for the most part if you're buying a used you will probably find it in 16gb to be honest 16gb is very limited storage in 2018 the best choice on the iPhone X is 64gb which is also arguably less than it should be so living with a 16gb device would be even harder and would limit the storage you do have to compromise a lot in terms of performance the amount of apps you can download the amount of songs and pictures and all of that data you can have on your phone so if you're interested in the 5s go for a bigger storage than the bass one it will ask you a lot longer also speaking terms of storage after upgrading to iOS 11 I did get some storage back since iOS 11 is a little smaller and a little more optimized and that optimization does make the iPhone 5s still usable in 2018 it's running on 64-bit system with the Apple a7 chip and surprisingly enough this thing came out with iOS 7 and look at it today still fighting competition with iOS 11 now with iOS 11 up noticed there's a lot between you pressing the button and the application actually launching up and data also takes a little bit longer to load on the iPhone 5s but the good thing is once the app is up and running it won't really make a difference if you're using it on a 5s or an iPhone X new phones are definitely faster but there are ten times the money and can bring that with the price the iPhone 5s is totally worth it especially when playing games I've noticed the gaming experience isn't that bad comparing how all this phone is and how affordable it is nowadays it overall does a great job although in some games I've noticed graphics are a little compromised to keep up with performance and the iPhone 5s does heat up a little bit but that's normal when playing high intensive games other than that looking at the home screen scrolling around you won't really find a big difference from iOS 10 to hours unless you notice the small animation changes or the control panel which is an easy giveaway and I'm talking about iOS 10 and 11 here because I've noticed after a win to iOS Levin the phone seems a little bit slower than they used to be an apple recently admitted to slowing down devices on purpose to save battery losing power causing unexpected shutdowns so this is something I figured out before Apple officially declared it and it kind of makes sense looking at it from Apple side partial effort in making you upgrade to a newer device and partially maintaining the standard of even old devices I personally had problems with my iPhone 5s suddenly powering off even when the battery was 20 to 30% now you are able to get the performance back and remove the software limitations by replacing your battery it's actually fairly cheap and easy and you can do it yourself at home if you absolutely want the performance back now using third-party apps and serving our content it does take a little bit longer to load when I reviewed this phone with iOS 10 I was quite happy with performance with iOS 11 it seems to be a little more compromised in terms of speed but the native animations things like control panel and the basic software performs pretty good like everything is the instant quick and snappy you don't feel like you're using old phone until you start loading content that's the only place that takes a little bit longer.
That's when you feel like you have old device in terms of battery life it has a 15 70 milliamp battery which is smaller but the phone is even smaller it has a small processor and a smaller display to power and if you do end up replacing the battery you will get a few extra hours on usage but to put into perspective the phone I have takes about two hours to fully kill the battery when playing high intensive games and I never ended up changing my batteries and I had this phone for about two years now and it was heavily used doing regular self like I would in a normal day like checking social media listening to music it kind of gets me half way through the day if I compromise how much I'm using my phone I can pull it off till school ends by carrying a proverb Aang would be ideal with a phone like this and this is what I get for my phone things might be a little different for you it totally depends on how old your phone is if the value was every placed and how heavily your phone has been used but again if value became an issue it can easily be changed in fact I'll link a replacement kit down below along with some affordable power banks but wrapping things up in terms of performance it still performs really good for someone who doesn't want to spend a ton or for someone who doesn't use their phone that much and comparing to what you're paying you're still getting a lot is so fully functional phone great camera and if you're okay waiting a few seconds for stuff to load up you can save a ton the small body size is great for one-hand use and very comfortable to carry around the only thing.Thanks for reading.
