All you need to know about the Apple iPhone 5s
At the time of release the phone was considered by most to be the best phone on the market. Although 2014 is not a long time ago, phone models move in fast upgrade cycles so it is reassuring to know that a refurbished iPhone 5s is still an extremely capable mobile phone. When you add the latest version of iOS into the equation the new software helps to unlock a number of different features on the phone such as increased functionality on TouchID which previously was exclusively only used for locking and unlocking the phone. Now it is integrated into numerous iPhone apps.
The camera is still the same 8 MP sensor that previous models used, but the software has been tweaked significantly by the introduction of a feature called “Focus Pixels”. This feature increases the speed and accuracy of the autofocus on the camera so you will find that your photos will tend to look sharper and it is much easier to get a great shot.
The 4 inch screen on the iPhone 5s was the last of this size. Later models have increased the size of the screen which has meant an increase in the width of the phone. This has led some people to have difficulty holding the later iPhones and having to resort to two-handed operation of the phone. There are no such problems with the iPhone 5s. The screen is as crisp and vibrant as ever thanks to the excellent IPS LCD retina display and you can operate the phone in one hand with no problem whatsoever.
Considering that the entry level iPhone 5s cost £549 in the UK at launch it is incredible to think that you can get a refurbished 16GB iPhone 5s free of charge on a monthly contract at around £17 per month at the time of writing. A premium phone at a bargain price.
