I don't have a problem with the fingerprint scanner, since people can choose to use it or not. The larger problem I see for the 5S is a marketing one: while the A7 processor and internal redesign are significant technical achievements, consumers won't understand that or care. They know that their existing iPhone 5's are relatively fast, and that will be enough for most people. They needed to add features - not necessarily speed - for this phone to have the kind of success that its predecessors have achieved.
- diminoten 13y agoThis phone takes way better pictures and has a longer battery life. There, features people care about.
- UnoriginalGuy 13y agoBut it doesn't have better battery life. It has very similar battery life to the last one according to Apple's own figures.
- diminoten 13y agoIt says it has a better battery life, I'm just going by the submission.
- chaz 13y agoThe new colors are definitely a feature. One of the "problems" with the 4S was that there was no externally distinguishing feature that you had the latest and the greatest. They fixed that this time around.
- rm999 13y agoThis is typical of the previous 's' updates: 3gs, 4s. Both offered a better camera and faster speed, and not much else. The 4s had siri, which ended up being mostly just a gimmick IMO.
- gaoshan 13y agoI use Siri to schedule reminders all the time. Sometimes to take notes and it's also useful for sending hands free texts via voice. Oh, and search... I just used it tonight when in an unfamiliar area to find the nearest gas station and get directions to it, all via voice so I can keep my eyes on the road.
