Let's talk how awesome the 5s is!!!!

At this juncture, people would choose the 5s because of cost or because they prefer the smaller form factor. There's really no other reason to choose it over the 6 or 6 Plus. The 6 and 6 Plus have better performance, larger screens, higher resolution, better battery life, more up-to-date wi-fi, plus Apple Pay and more advanced motion tracking.

That said, the 5s still holds its own in the marketplace and does not give up much compared to the newer phones. The A7 processor vaulted Apple way ahead of the pack, and remains a formidable performer today. Because the A8's performance gains focused primarily on power consumption reductions (necessary to support the larger screen and higher resolution, while increasing battery life), the 5s could well remain viable and well supported by developers for at least as long as the 6/6 Plus.

It is still being actively sold. Why not talk about it? Don't like it, there are 1000 other threads about the 6/6+ issues. Just don't worry about this one or create a 6/6+ appreciation thread.

When it's just released probably I could talk about it and I could praise it and say wow this new 5s is so awesome so nice and so way ahead of others. Now that it's been released more than a year ago I guess not.

The 5S is so 2013. So much has changed since then.

So here I am, waiting to open my bday gifts, and thinking how awesome the 5s is. Let's talk just how great a phone this is. And why we prefer it over any other iPhone.
From what I have seen in store, the lightness and thinness are really nice. The gold is really great looking. And the one handed usability is GREAT, and the entire reason why I chose the 5s over the 6.
So who agrees with me? Why do you love your 5s and if you bought one recently, what made you choose it over the 5s?

I agree, but now I have the chance to either purchase a 6 (64GB) or acquire a family members 5S (16GB ). I don't know which direction to go. Of course, I'd be paying for either or.
