The Apple iPhone 5s (7th Generation) is a smartphone that was designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple from 2013 to 2016 as part of the iPhone series. The next generation of the iPhone has been introduced on September 10, 2013, and its price started at $199.
This iPhone features a dual-core 1.3 GHz 64-bit Apple A7 processor, Apple M7 motion coprocessor, 1 GB of RAM, 4″ Retina LED-backlit IPS multi-touch LCD Display, fingerprint identity Touch ID sensor built into the Home button, GPS, 4G / LTE data capability, three colors; Space Gray, White, and Gold, 16 GB / 32 GB or 64 GB of flash memory, built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, Lightning port, 8.0 Mpix rear camera / 1.2 Mpix front camera, three-axis gyro, accelerometer, Digital compass, GLONASS, 3.5-mm headphone jack, and 8 hours of talk time on 4G and 225 hours Standby time.
The iPhone 5s maintains almost the same external design as its predecessor, the iPhone 5, although the 5S received a new white/gold color scheme in addition to white/silver and space gray/black. The 5S has vastly upgraded internal hardware, however. It introduced the A7 64-bit dual-core system-on-chip, the first 64-bit processor to be used on a smartphone, accompanied by the M7 motion co-processor.
A redesigned home button with Touch ID, a fingerprint recognition system that can be used to unlock the phone and authenticate App Store and iTunes Store purchases, was also introduced. The camera was also updated with a larger aperture and a dual-LED flash optimized for different color temperatures.
Earphones known as EarPods were included with the 5S, and Apple released accessories including a case and a dock. It had a 4-inch display, similar to the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c.
This iPhone has been discontinued on March 21, 2016, and has been replaced by the iPhone 6.
Today iPhone 5s is 9 years old!
