I currently have an iPhone 4, and it's on it's last leg and has taken quite a bit of abuse over the last few years lol I LOVE apple products- we also have an iPad 2, and our next computer will be an iMac desktop....no more PCs for me! Anyways... I'm constantly using my phone to take pictures, I use it a lot for our business (I'm the secretary/office manager), I also mod for this forum via my phone, I use it for EVERYTHING. SO- I'd love to hear reviews from anyone who has the 5s...
An elf told me that Santa might be bringing me one for Christmas :D

I personally don't have one, but my boss at work does. He loves it and he said he'll never go to another type of phone now. Apple just keep upping their game etc.

I MIGHT go to an iPhone next... but yeah, I've only really heard good things about iPhones except from a developers point of view. :)

I have a friend who went to a 5s from a galaxy- she said she's never going back to any other phone now lol

My first iPhone was the 3 and I've never used any other phone since! I had to upgrade to the 4 a few years ago after I accidentally shattered the screen :eek: I wish I had the money right now I'd get myself an early Christmas present hahaha

I haven't had the opportunity yet to play with a 5s hands-on though :(

I have one. It's all I use haha. Can't remember the last time I used a PC. Everyone I've spoken to that's had one and then gone samsung have regretted it. I love apple products.

Iphone 5s is nice but I won't buy it. I've played with every single iPhone in the past including this one as either co-workers or friends that have them. Someone is usually asking me to help them fix an issue on it. I'm all about galaxy/android phones and I won't go to an iPhone.

I just got the galaxy note 3, it's amazing. Most powerful phone on the market, does everything and more. Also takes brilliant pictures.

I bought out my contract to get it. I only had to pay out 25.00 though. Love it, can't say enough good things.

I was thinking of doing that but I was thinking if I waited by then the next best thing would be out and maybe the second generation watch accessory would be better then the first. So I'm still waiting..... :)

LOL , maybe. I'm a tech geek and I don't see much on the horizon. The next big thing is curved screens and such, cool but doesn't add much for me. The watch will get better but I didn't get that, also not my thing.

Naw,
They use to LOL

The hardcore geeks still do. Either that or they root their phone and put a custom rom on it, which I used to do, but it got too time consuming.

But back on topic, there's not an Android phone out there with a comparable camera to iPhone. That's one area that has always been lacking on android. I can say that and I can't stand Apple products. It's just a good thing android excels in so many other ways.

Well I used to have the iPhone 4S and it took pretty nice pics. I then upgraded to the iphone 5 and the pics were not as good. Now I upgraded the software to io7 which I believe is what the iPhone 5s is and it's CRAP! (Ok maybe not totally crap but really not good).
I heard that Samsung note 3 takes great pics, and I'm considering switching....

I have a third generation iPhone XD But I have a 5S on my Christmas wishlist and keep throwing hints to it at every chance I have. I want it for that high speed camera! Would be awesome for when I have Rosie outside flying in her harness. I also have a DSLR available that takes 1080 HD video.

Having been using the 3G for so long, I'll be pretty happy with any phone with a better camera on it lol I just really like the small size and look of the Iphones.

I used to have a app that let me make GIF images, so for a while I was making slow mo's. You can clearly see how few the frame rate is for the Iphone 3. The 5S has a frame rate(when in slow motion mode) for about 120 frames per second.

Ashley- I was looking at the camera features online last night for the 5s...so it's not just the quality of pics from it that have me intrigued, but the new features they added for it; panaromic, better zooming, two different flashes, speed shooting, better aperture, etc.
