We reviewed the iPhone 5S when it first came out. This is an update to that review based on daily use for months.
I commute a lot and have no problem holding it for long periods of time. I've even reverted back to reading books on my phone, something I haven’t done for years. Would i prefer a bigger screen? Sometimes, but the smaller size of the iPhone makes it extremely pocketable and really easy to use on the go. A good case helps too. While I was initially dubious over Apple’s leather one I’ve grown accustomed to it. It does tend to patina quickly – something I like as I have a bit of a vintage leather fetish, but it won’t be to everyone’s taste.
Living with the iPhone 5S
The iPhone 5S is one of the best phones to be launched in the past year, although the screen size seems snitquated now the standard has moved to around 5-inches. The 4-inch screen is still excellent though - bright, colourful and responsive. It's very fast too. We've not experienced any detrimental slowdown in the months we've been using it. The iPhone 5S has an aluminium body that feels premium and solid, yet manages to remain incredibly light.I commute a lot and have no problem holding it for long periods of time.

It's coming soon: iPhone 6: Release date, news and rumours
There’s is not much to say about the iPhone 5S’s performance here other than thats it’s blisteringly fast and very reliable. I’ve not experienced any issues with apps misbehaving other than the Google Maps hanging occasionally. It's annoying but may be as much down to the app as to the phone.
Apple’s iOS has its limitations, you can't customise to anywhere near the levels of an Android phone, but the fact that it just keeps working well is a godsend to those too busy to learn every little foible of their phone. I’ve not experienced the slow-down effects that tend to occur on Androids after lots of apps and updates have been installed - the iPhone 5S is rock solid.
iOS 7 is a wonderfully simple operating system and while some don't like the new design, I've been delighted by it. The ‘Today’ notification isn’t something I’ve taken to much, but the multitasking menu and the Control Centre are great. In fact the lack of these features is one of the reasons I picked Android over iOS in the past. The Control Centre is still missing a quick access button to the full settings menu, which is particularly annoying when wanting to switch or connect to Wi-Fi networks.
It’s the Apple app store that makes iOS a great platform. As a mobile gamer the depth and breadth of titles is fantastic – Limbo, for example is a great little game that you can’t get anywhere else. Generally the apps are still of higher quality and depth than you can get anywhere else.
