Just got it. Have been using it for the whole day.
Verizon 16 GB Silver iPhone 5S
Touch ID - Legit. Instantly fast, sometimes you miss the lockscreen clock because of the speed. For people with a delay and from the videos I have seen you may be registering your finger the wrong way. When you place it on the home button to register, don't move it around. Pick a position and place the finger down. After each vibration, pick a different position and register it.
Another thing is obviously if you have callouses, it will still work and still faster than passcode/slide to unlock, but it won't be as fast as a clean finger.
Battery - Same as iPhone 5. If there is any difference, it's very miniscule. I think the people with battery problems may have too many ish going on in their phones. Not everything needs a notification unless you're some CEO.
Build- They fixed the shaky lock button. You don't hear anything when you shake the phone and it feels much more intact than on the iPhone 5. It feels like they have also improved the bezel as I feel more of a grip on the 5S and the 5. (this could be due to the 5S being new, but it definitely seems more grip friendly)
Camera - Excellent. Still getting use to iOS 7 layout, but this is probably the best overall camera phone in the game right now.
Overall, iPhone 5S in a very minuscule way, feels faster than the iPhone 5, but you probably won't notice it unless you focusing really hard. No lag on Infinity Blade 3.
Haven't had any twitter, FB, or IG issues that I have been seeing either.
I can also confirm now that any touchscreen lag is definitely due to iOS 7. The same wait time animation and rigid scrolling that was prevalent on my 5 is on my 5s.
Edit: Also noticed that I have 11 GB free of 12.9 GB. On the 5 it was 8 free of 12 with the same stuff.
