My Gold iPhone 5S Finally Arrived And It'sSimply Okay
After waiting almost
three weeks for my new
gold iPhone 5S, it arrived
on Thursday.
I ordered it online at
around 3:01 am ET on
Friday, September 20,
the day it launched.
Apple's gold
iPhone 5S went out of stock in Asia just after about a
day. In the U.S., those who ordered online were told
that it wouldn't be available until October

But now that I actually have it, I'm honestly not all that excited by it.
That's because I already owned the white iPhone 5, and have been using
iOS 7 for the last couple of weeks.
In fact, a former colleague said that if you already
have an iPhone 5, there's no need to buy one of
Apple's new iPhones
(http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-5-vs-
iphone-5s-2013-9). Now that I've got one, I basically
agree.
But there's still no way I'm giving up my gold iPhone
5S.
It's just too pretty.
Here it is. Kind of looks like the iPhone 5, right?
Well, it's not. It's the iPhone 5S.

In gold!
When the iPhone 5S was first announced, the most
exciting feature seemed to be Touch ID. Touch ID
allows you to use your fingerprint as a password.

Setting up Touch ID was pretty straight forward. Aer
about a minute, I had successfully set it up.
Look at that gold!

But unfortunately, it's not ALL gold. Nor is it made out
of gold.
It's just gold-colored.

Another cool thing about the iPhone 5S is the camera.
Here's a look at the new iSight camera. It has a larger
sensor, larger pixels, and a larger aperture than the
one on the iPhone 5.
Now, let's take a look at some other iPhones

@Gold and white?: It just looks like an iPhone (which basically
looks like a phone). Are phones ugly now?

Sorry Megan. Gimmicks tend to have that emotional effect.

Love my iPhone 5 but the 5s seems like just as big a letdown as the
4s. I'm glad I'm not on the off-year of my contract. Apple surprises
me with the "s" versions. Yeah okay your hardware engineers made
the thing twice as fast, thats awesome, but let me do more with my
phone.

those android things can do some cool stuff... (but I can't stand
android UI/screen responsiveness/quality) Just need my iPhone to
be a little bit more like Android. Just a little bit.
