The Greatest Smartphone

I waited in line for this phone at launch day and I can safely say it was a great decision. This phone is simply the best phone ever made. nnBuild: Much has been said about the iPhone's build quality, nearly all of it good. Unfortunately, last year's iPhone 5 had some serious problems with the aluminum, which was easy to dent and chip. Fortunately, it seems that Apple has used a better grade of aluminium for this phone. It feels slightly rougher and is slightly harder to dent. The screen is the same that was available on the iPhone 5, so it should be just as hard to shatter. Sadly, the small panels of glass are still inlaid and just as hard to replace. Too bad if you end up cracking them. nnSoftware: iOS is famous for being fluid, intuitive and responsive, but it was also famous for its antiquated looks, lack of easy-access toggles, bad multitasking and lackluster notifications shade. Well, iOS 7 is here to fix that, with a fresh UI, an awesome notification shade, great multitasking and the most requested feature of all, a little something called 'Control Centre' which gives quick toggles for almost everything you could think of (except for mobile data, which is pretty unfortunate) and a built-in Flashlight (something which was missing in previous versions of iOS), all with a singe swipe from the bottom of the screen. iOS 7 may not be for everyone, but it's powerful and useful. nnPerformance: Let's face it, all of us were awed when Apple told us that the iPhone will have a new 64-bit processor. It was something which was unheard of! I started imagining all of the benefits of such a powerful processor and what the iPhone could do with that kind of raw horsepower. Those notions were immediately put to rest when I saw that the phone was better at load times in heavy games, but that was it. It didn't leave the iPhone 5 beaten and gasping for air. However, I then remembered just how fast the previous phone was. It's not that this phone isn't that fast, it's just that the iPhone 5 was ungodly fast. Plus, apps like djay 2 and Infinity Blade III really take advantage of that blazing fast A7 processor, delivering features that the old iPhone can't give because of it's older 32 bit processor. This phone is unbelievably fast, but the software just isn't powerful enough to take advantage of it. nnCamera: The camera is pretty impressive! The new processor and hardware enables a host of new features, like: n1. Burst Mode, which allows you to take photos at 10 pictures per second. n2. Slo-Mo, a cool new video mode which allows you to snap 120 FPS videos in 720p, which you can later slow down and get awesome action shots. n3. The larger aperture and sensor allow better low-light photos. The photos are less 'zoom'able than 13 MP photos, but they are higher quality, due to the larger pixels. Due to which, you hardly even need the flash on the phone. Speaking of which; n4. True-tone flash, for when and if you actually have to use flash. It prevents the horribly whited-out and unnatural colors which you usually get with flash photos. nBattery: The battery life is about the same as the previous iPhone, which is pretty impressive considering all the massive improvements. While it's nothing to write home about, it's still pretty good. nnAnd now, the thing that truly sets this phone apart from the pack; nnTouch ID: Apple's fingerprint sensor is something special. Until now, no company has ever figured out bio-metric security. No one before Apple, that is.Touch ID is easy to set up and even easier to use. Just keep your finger on the sapphire home button and that's it! The phone unlocks instantly. Seriously, this method is faster than the old 'Swipe to Unlock'. Making purchases is also easier now that you don't have to type in a password, but I don't get to use that a lot since I've come from an iPhone 5 and I already have all the apps I need. Still, it's pretty cool for whenever I need to make a purchase in the app store. nnSo, that's my review. At 62,500 for the 32GB model, the price is admittedly insane. However, if you decide to make the purchase you won't regret it. It's a solid device, even if it is pretty expensive,

Reply to mr kuldeep tech expert

This phone is a laptop in your hand. And mr kuldeep before calling yourself tech expert please do some research of your own. Galaxy note 3 with 3gb ram performs not as good as the iPhone 5S because the apple A7 chip is a 64-bit chip and each core of the iPhones dual core processor has four threads compared to single threads of note 3. Secondly the note 3 has two quad core processors and not a single octa core processor. That is just a gimmick. It has a 1.3 ghz quad core processor and switches to its 1.9 ghz quad core processor for heavy tasks. The iPhone 5S has great technologies which are ready for at least next 3years. And those who believe fingerprint scanner is a waste of money, please consider the note 3's useless air gesture and smart scroll features. Why give a touch screen if you just have to wave your hand? And even if samsung phones have advanced sensors it isn't so useful as no developer will make app to use the sensor since there are a variety of android phones all over the world. The iPhone 5S on the other hand will get a lot of apps for its 64-bit architecture and fingerprint scanner because it is one phone. Only three iphone models are in sale today. So developers who make apps for the fingerprint scanner will get a lot of revenue. Those who compare the Nokia lumina series with this phone please do your homework before writing a tech review. The iPhone 5s takes better pics than 1020. It's not all about mp, picture quality depends on aperture, exposure and believe it or not on the software too. The true tone flash on the 5s helps you get a more natural shot every time. People ease font be fooled by other companies. They are good on specs sheet but are empty on the inside. Empty vessels make the most noise. Those who are looking for a long lasting, reliable and powerful phone please get it. Don't be fooled by Samsung and other android products they won't lastore than 2 years. Samsung has been losing smartphone share in almost every continent. 1 gb Ram is enough for tis phone since all apps are optimized for this phone. And android users please open task manager and check your Ram you are not getting complete Ram. You are getting some mb less, because your phones have 32-bit architecture. There are a variety of Android phones all over the world and apps are not customized for them. Android apps are like making one pair of shoes fit everybody's feet. there a variety of great apps on the apple app store, and those who don't believe me please see CNET reviews. The fingerprint sensor is very helpful as it saves a lot of time. Games are much better on iOS than on android. iOS has call of duty, battlefield, assassins creed and many premier franchises. Go for it. unless you are looking for a cheeper smartphone. and if you have 40-50k u shud get iPhone 5c instead of android phones.

The best phone ever

* It is very expensive, so if you don't have enough money don't go for it.nn* Purchase 32GB version, 16gb is pretty less for anything (don't forget only 10gb is free).nn* No phone in this world (Including Galaxy S5 and LG or whichever) can beat this awesome machine. ( I dumped my S5 recently).nn* iPhone may not give you everything (atleast till iOs 8 releases) but whatever it gives you blow your mind away.nn* Perfection in each and every details is what makes iPhone stands away.nn* Just reading specifications from tech websites makes you hate this phone; You have to use it to get know the awesomeness.nn* About the screen size: It's small compared to the phablets. But what is the use of big screens if it can't wow customers?nn* I like the 4 inch compact screen for one more reason: I can use it by single hand everywhere like while eating, playing etc.nn* The quality of apps: Well, I can't explain it. You have to use it to believe it.nn* I use Nike+ fuel Band SE : It works only on iPhones!!nnAnd the iPhone is not for you if,nnn* If you are a person who doesn't have a credit card,nn* wants a big screen,nn* wants to send songs and everything else (:P) through bluetooth,nn* drag movies and watch itnn* wants to mess with the systemnnThen Get an Android, that's it.

Excellent Performance, Embellished Design, Lasting Stability

Delivery: On time and good packing.nWarranty: Checked the serial number on Apple site and no problem with 1 year warranty from the date I activated phone.nnPerformance: 10/10nStability: 9/10nConsistency: 10/10nLooks: 10/10nSound: 9/10nCamera: 8/10nDesign: 10/10nPrivacy Control: 10/10nBattery Backup: 7/10nCompatibility: 2/10nnOverall: 8.5 out of 10.nn(+) Performance - Apple designs both hardware and software so even the seemingly ordinary specs deliver vertex of performance.n(+) Stability - No abnormal reboot or termination of applications. This phone doesn't hang.n(+) Consistency - What performance and stability you are getting today, it won't diminish with time. Your phone remains same after months and years.n(+) Looks - I have Space Grey color. The appearance is ineffable, I'd call it verbatim beauty.n(+) Sound - Crisp and clean. Speakers are loud enough without leaking the sound. Put it close to ears and you will hear delicate punches of bass!n(+) Camera - Don't expect SLR segment. Snaps in day and night both can be tagged on decent mark.n(+) Design - 4" is business elegance. Comfortable to hold and operate by single hand. This could be last offering from Apple in 4" segment.n(+) Privacy Control - One must factor that this phone delivers. No application can play stunts accessing any of your information without permission.n(+) Battery Backup - Around 22 hours with normal usage and WiFi on. Charging takes 2 hours.n(-) Compatibility - This is where new users need to think. You can't just connect a USB cable and copy files in a trice from PC. Peering with any other phone is not available. Apple talks with Apple devices or through safe passage of iTunes. However, these constraints only give Apple the matchless stability and security.nnDeficiencies:nApple map is not accurate so download Google map which is a minute worth task. Siri is not fluent with Indian accent as Google voice but she tries to learn. The text keyboard has odd placement of period (.) key, it's in in numerics keypad which is bit tedious while composing emails and message. On few 32 GB handsets there may be a slight yellow tint. Apple support claims its just the color profile / variance and not an issue. Depends now on user if they get adjusted as it might make their color preference look better. I though opted a neutral one. Last, this is a very delicate gadget and need to be handled carefully or with protective covers. "A drop can result exorbitant repair charges."nnFinal Say:nThis phone has the outstanding combination of consistent performance and appearance. If compatibility is not an issue then this phone by no means would let you down on the paid price. IOS 9 will enhance the performance further as it will be half the size of IOS 8.
