The iPhone QnA

2) Huge advancements? What, Touch ID and a 64Bit processor which used more RAM and that no apps took advantage of during its release year? It was negligibly faster than the iPhone 5 in real world use and reloaded apps & browser tabs more readily thanks to the 64Bit processor & same 1GB of RAM. I'd take the iPhone 5 before the 5S purely because of that. It looked nicer though with the shiny Touch ID ring.

The A7 chip was always very fast for me on my iPad Mini 2 and the A7 pushed the processors on iOS forward and nudged the competition to come out with their own. The A7 is probably one of the most future proofed processors Apple has come out with IMO.

I agree, but sadly the 1GB of slow RAM is a spanner in the works. The iPhone 5 has performed like a champ on iOS6, 7, 8 and 9 without being hugely outperformed by anything except the latest 6S models. I can't forsee any other phone up until the latest 6S that will perform so well over four different generations of iOS. It absolutely helped that the two iPhones following it kept the same amount of RAM. The 5S for me will always be one step behind the i5 in terms of longevity (from release date).

1. iPhone 6S
2. iPhone 4 (that design blew me away with it's awesomeness)
3. iPhone 6S/6S+/iOS 9.0.2 is now jailbreakable!! (should I ever need to, I'm good running stock now)
4. Space Grey because of the black bezel. To bad gold, silver and rose gold don't come with black bezels.
5. The next generation iDevice. Every September it summons the seven deadly sins.
