iPHONE 5S BUILD QUALITY
It's fair to say that the iPhone 5S isn't an improvement over the iPhone 5 when it comes to build
quality, because its predecessor was so well made. In fact, it's hard to see where Apple could im-
prove. In our opinion, the iPhone 5S is still the best looking smartphone out there. Its precision cut aluminium rear sits absolutely
flush with glass panels that sit at the top and bottom. Its neat bevelled edges are perfectly formed and the 7.3mm thick phone feels
incredibly comfortable in the hand. Weighing just 112g, which still feels almost impossibly light when you pick up the smart-
phone for the first time, the iPhone 5S is still incredible to look at and hold.

iPHONE 5S BUILD QUALITY |
Honestly, it doesn't feel too small now. Yes, large screen smartphones have their place, but if you want something that's easier to
carry, fits comfortably in your hand and can be slipped into any pocket, then the iPhone 5S is that phone.
For this year's models, the white model is the same as last year's, but there's also two new colours. Space Gray replaces the 'black'
model of last year and is subtly different, with the case a purer grey than last year's blue-grey model. It's the Gold edition that's
really different. Pictures don't do it justice, as it tends to look quite garish, but in the flesh the champagne gold finish is altogether
more subtle and classier.
Gold model aside, the biggest issue of the iPhone 5S's looks is that to the untrained eye it doesn't look as though you've bought a
new phone
There is one big clue that the phone you've got is the iPhone 5S: the metal-rimmed home button, which no longer has the famil-
iar-looking square icon in it. As you're no doubt aware, this is the brand-new fingerprint reader, Touch ID. With Touch ID, rather
than having to tap in a PIN to unlock your phone, you can simply hold your finger over the sensor. If that sounds like a gimmick,
it's not: it's actually a brilliant time saver and something that helps enforce security.
