Still a great phone
Ok, it's not a 6, or a 6s or an SE. But it's still a fine phone, has years of life in it yet and represents great value for money. Let's face it, when you buy an iPhone, you are not just buying a device, you are buying a means of using an operating system and iOS is well sorted, stable and intuitive. I've used both iOS and Android, and think iOS is still the better system for a phone. As for the handset itself, the processor in the 5s is a good fast processor, it runs IOS9 with ease and will doubtless run 10 and beyond as well. I like the small form factor and the speed and display quality are excellent. Battery life is better than my 4s too, though that might be a function of age. Generally I get a couple of days out of it between charges, but don't make a lot of calls. My only criticism of it (and I don't have any science to back this up, it's just one person's observations) is that I don't think the aerial is quite as good as that in my old 4s, which seemed to be capable of holding signal and making calls in the most marginal reception areas. Awesome phone, the 4s, IMO it was one of the very best phones on the market when it came out, it's just a pity the processor isn't really powerful enough for the later versions of iOS beyond 7, which was the reason for upgrading. Occasionally the new 5s seems to drop signal, but can generally be persuaded to find a tower again by switching airplane mode on and off. But it's still a great phone, and I recommend it highly.
