You know it's iPhone 5S ... and you need to assure your investment if you want to buy that phone, here is a small list of web sites giving useful reviews about the newest Apple product.
1. Techradar - They said that ... The iPhone 5S is, predictably, the best iPhone ever from Apple - but
what's intriguing is just how much we enjoyed using this evolutionary
device.
There's always an apathy with any kind of 'S' device from Apple, as it's historically just the same thing made a little bit better. It's true the advances on the iPhone 5S are few, but the ones that are there are very impressive indeed.
64 bit apps, while consumers are paying to not have access yet, are coming to really turbocharge the experience, and the A7 processor is clearly capable of some very heavy lifting.
The camera is improved impressively, taking some excellent shots with minimal backlift needed from the user, and the Touch ID sensor is the first real step into biometrics on a smartphone, and one that Apple has succeeded in implementing.
So to say this is the best iPhone yet is relatively pointless, as of course it was going to be. But the combination of iOS 7 to freshen things up with a powerful core and great camera mean that this phone should be considered on its own considerable merits, and while the high price will continue to put many off, anyone already wedded to the iPhone bandwagon, or even if they're just on the fence, will find a lot of joy in a phone that's a lot more than an iterative update.

2. The Verge - Their verdict mentioned that ... The most remarkable thing
Apple did with the iPhone 5S was to change everything while appearing to
change almost nothing. The processor’s faster, the camera’s brighter,
and the software’s a little smarter. But rather than club you to death
with features to prove just how many things this phone can do, the
iPhone 5S simply does everything it did before, better. Even the new
things feel integrated, and obvious — Touch ID has quickly come to feel
completely natural, and slow-motion video now feels notably absent from
the iPhone 5. There aren’t two dozen different multitasking systems or
countless camera modes; the 5S is just more capable and more intuitive
than ever before. It’s easily the best iPhone ever made, and maybe the
best smartphone ever made.
But there’s a downside to
forward thinking. Apple’s made a phone that’s going to last, that
appears to be ready for whatever technical innovation the industry
develops or crazy games we decide to play. But until those things come
along, that preparedness can feel very much like Apple’s simply made
minor changes. Today, the 5S is but a minor improvement over the 5, with
only the camera and perhaps Touch ID truly counting as purchase-worthy
upgrades. But as Apple learns to make use of its motion processor, its
64-bit operating system, and its fingerprint sensor, and teaches its
developers to do the same, the 5S will get far better.
That's the best thing about
the iPhone 5S: at the end of your two-year contract, it's still going to
be a great phone — maybe even better. That’s the best reason to fight
the spec wars.
3. UberGizmo - Apple’s greatest strength is its eco-system. If the same hardware was used to make an Android phone, the iPhone would not sell nearly as much. That is why a pure “hardware review” hits a wall. This is about the overall user experience, not just how good the hardware is. An iPhone 5s upgrade makes complete sense for those who are happy with their old iPhones or those who don’t want to bother with a switch, even if they occasionally salivate on that Android 5”+ IPS display.
