The iPhone 5S is a smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Part of the iPhone series, the device was unveiled on September 10, 2013, at Apple Cupertino's headquarters. The album was released on September 20, 2013, along with its low-cost partner, the iPhone 5C.
The iPhone 5S retains almost the same external design as its predecessor, the iPhone 5, although the 5S received a new white/gold coloring scheme in addition to white/silver and a gray/black space, but 5S has greatly enhanced the internal hardware. 5S introduced the A7-on-chip 64-bit dual-core system, the first 64-bit processor used on smartphones, along with the M7 "motion co-processor". The redesigned home button with Touch ID, a fingerprint recognition system that can be used to unlock the phone and authenticate the purchase of the App Store and the iTunes Store, is introduced. The camera is also updated with a larger aperture and dual-LED flash that is optimized for different color temperatures.
The iPhone 5S was originally shipped with iOS 7, which introduced a revamped visual display and other new features. Designed by Jony Ive, iOS 7 departs from the skeuomorphic element used by earlier versions of iOS to support flat and colorful design. Among the new software features introduced to the iPhone 5S is AirDrop, an ad-hoc Wi-Fi sharing platform; Control Center, a control panel that contains a number of commonly used functions; and iTunes Radio, an internet radio service. Earphones known as EarPod are included with 5S, and Apple-released accessories include case and dock.
The acceptance of the device is generally positive, with some outlets considering it as the best smartphone available on the market due to its upgraded hardware, Touch ID, and other changes introduced by iOS 7. Some criticize the iPhone 5S to keep the design and small look of the iPhone 5, and others expressed security concerns about the Touch ID system. Nine million units of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C were sold on their release weekend, breaking Apple's record sales for iPhone. The iPhone 5S is the best selling phone in all major US carriers in September 2013.
The iPhone 5S succeeded as Apple's flagship smartphone by the larger iPhone 6 in September 2014. On March 21, 2016, 5S received a direct replacement with the iPhone SE announcement, which incorporated an internal hardware similar to the iPhone 6S while retaining smaller form factor and 5S design.
The iPhone 5S is the first iPhone powered through six major iOS versions: from iOS 7 released in September 2013 to iOS 12 scheduled for release in Autumn 2018.

History
Prior to its official opening, media speculation centered mainly on reports that the next iPhone would include a fingerprint scanner; including the acquisition of AuthenTec in July 2012 by Apple, the developer of mobile security products, a reference to the fingerprint sensor on the home button in the iOS 7 beta release and leaky packaging for the iPhone 5S which indicates that the traditional home button now has a "metal ring" "around it. a similar ring-based look at an official invitation to Apple's iPhone press event in September 2013, where the new device was unveiled. Shortly before its official opening, The Wall Street Journal also reported rumors.
Apple announced iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S during a media event at its headquarters in Cupertino on September 10, 2013. While the iPhone 5C became available for preorder on September 13, 2013, the iPhone 5S is not available for pre-order. Both devices were released on September 20, 2013. While most promotions focus on Touch ID, the 64-bit Apple A7 processor was also highlighted during the event.
This is the first 64-bit processor on any phone. I do not think anyone else even talks about it. Why go through all this? The benefits are huge. A7 has speeds twice as fast as previous generation systems on CPU tasks, and up to twice as fast on graphics tasks as well.
Schiller then showed a demo of Infinity Blade III to demonstrate the processing power of A7 and the camera of the device using an untouched photo. The launch of iOS 7 on September 18, 2013 was also announced during the keynote.
The iPhone 5S was released on September 20, 2013, in the United States, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The album was released in 25 additional countries on October 25, 2013, and in 12 countries on November 1, 2013. Indonesia is the last country to receive iPhone 5S, on January 26, 2014.
On September 19, 2014, the iPhone 5S succeeded as Apple's flagship smartphone by iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but the old model was still available for purchase at a cheaper price, while the 64GB version was stopped. The iPhone 5S gold edition was discontinued on September 9, 2015, when Apple revealed the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus
The iPhone 5S was discontinued on March 21, 2016, and was replaced by the iPhone SE, which continues to have the same shape but highly enhanced internal features similar to the flagship iPhone 6S. This is a pause with Apple's product positioning trend (in North America and Western Europe), starting with the iPhone 4S released in October 2011, which gives each model a new one-year release as a flagship phone, then moving it to the midrange for the second year of production, third and last as an entry-level offer prior to termination. While the iPhone 5S is expected to go on sale until September 2016, replacing it and the initial A7 processor means that Apple "only reduces the long-term chip support window by a year" to iOS. In addition, the launch of the new iPhone is meant to stimulate demand, as sales of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have not met expectations since the September 2015 release and iPhone families may experience the first negative growth quarters in 2016.

Specifications
Design
The iPhone 5S maintains a design similar to the iPhone 5, with a 4-in (10 cm) multi-touch LCD display and a screen resolution of 640ÃÆ'â € "1136 at 326 ppi. The home button has been updated with a new flat design using a laser-cut sapphire cover surrounded by a metallic ring; the button is no longer concave, nor does it contain an incognito icon seen in the previous model. The phone itself is 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) and weighs 112 grams (4.0 oz). This phone uses aluminum composite frame. The device is available in three finish colors; "space-gray" (replace black with slate trim on iPhone 5), white with silver trim, and white with gold trim. The iPhone 5S is the first iPhone available in gold; This decision is influenced by the fact that gold is seen as a popular sign of luxury products among Chinese customers.
Hardware
The iPhone 5S is powered by the Apple A7 system-on-chip, the first 64-bit processor ever used on a smartphone. Pre-loaded device and device operating systems are optimized to run in 64-bit mode, promising performance improvements, although third-party app developers need to optimize their apps to take full advantage of this enhanced capability. The A7 processor is designed by Apple and manufactured by Samsung. The A7 processor comes with a new M7 "motion co-processor", a special processor for processing motion data from iPhone accelerometers and gyroscopes without requiring major processor attention, integrated with the new iOS 7. CoreMotion APIs. A7 SoC and M7 motion co-processors are the same found on iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 released in the same quarter as the iPhone 5S.
The phone includes a 1560 mAh battery, which provides 10 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby time.
While the camera is still 8 megapixels in resolution with a shooting size of 3264 ÃÆ'â € "2448 (4: 3), the lens has a larger aperture ( f /2.2) and larger pixels in its image sensor than model iPhone before. The flashlight has two "True Tone" tones, consisting of yellow LED and white LED, which vary by color photo temperature to improve the color balance. The camera also includes automatic image stabilization, dynamic tone mapping, 10 fps burst mode, "best shooting" mode and slow motion video at 120 fps.
The home button on iPhone 5S incorporates a fingerprint recognition system known as the Touch ID, based on technology from AuthenTec, a company acquired by Apple in 2012. This sensor uses a capacitive CMOS-based sensor that can detect "sub-epidermal layers" with fingers at 500 pixels per inch, and uses a 360-degree design that can read prints in any angle. The sensor itself is powered by a touch-sensitive metal ring around the keys. Touch ID can be used for various authentication activities in the operating system, such as unlocking the device or authenticating the App Store and purchasing iTunes, not the Apple ID password. Sensors can be trained to recognize the fingerprint of multiple fingers and some users. The fingerprint data is stored in encrypted format in the "secure bag" of the A7 chip itself, and can not be accessed by other applications or servers (including iCloud).
Camera
You can take photos at night because it comes with dual LED flash with rear camera. 5S iPhone sports a new iSight 8 megapixel camera with new camera app enables fast shooting and slow motion of slow motion video.
Accessories
Earphones known as Apple EarPods are included with the iPhone 5S. According to technology commentator, earphone design is intended to improve the sound quality by allowing air in and out more freely. Apple stated that their earphone designs allow it to "rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of dollars more". Reviews by Gizmodo and TechRadar report that although earphones sound better than their predecessors, reviewers feel that the sound quality produced is poor. TechRadar further argues that EarPods are lower than other earphones for the same price.
Operating system and software
The iPhone 5S is supplied with iOS 7, released on September 20, 2013. Jonathan Ive, the designer of the new iOS 7 element, described the update as "bringing about complexity," highlighting features such as enhanced typography, new icons, translucent, layering, physics, and parallax. controlled gyroscopes as some major changes to the design. The designs of both iOS 7 and OS X Yosemite (version 10.10) seem to depart from skeuomorfic elements such as the green shades of Game Center, wood on Kiosk, and Calendar skins, which support a flat and colorful design.
iOS 7 adds AirDrop, Wi-Fi ad-hoc sharing platform. Users can share files with iPhone 5 and beyond, iPod Touch (5th generation), iPad (4th generation) and so on, or iPad Mini (1st generation) and so on. The operating system also adds a Control Center, a control panel accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. The Control Center contains a number of commonly used functions, such as volume and brightness controls, along with turn it off to enable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, and to use the rear camera flash as a flashlight.
iTunes Radio, an Internet radio service, is also included on the iPhone 5S. This is a free, ad-supported service available to all iTunes users, featuring Siri integration on iOS. Users can skip tracks, customize stations, and purchase track stations from the iTunes Store. Users can also search through their history from the previous song.
Apple announced that the iPhone 5s will support the upcoming iOS 12 update. This makes the iPhone 5s the longest supported iOS device supporting six major versions of the iOS operating system, beating records set by iPad 2 that support most iOS 4 to iOS 9. This device will receive iOS 12 in autumn 2018. iPhone 5s will also received a major speed increase of up to 70%. This includes camera, keyboard and some other things..
Apple Accessories
During the keynote, Apple announced a case for the iPhone 5 which is made of soft microfiber on the inside and the skin on the outside. The case was announced along with the iPhone 5C case, both of which are the first cases Apple announced since the iPhone 4 Bumper.
Docks for iPhone 5S and 5C were found at Apple's online store after the announcement. Due to the difference of casing between iPhone 5S and 5C, they have separate docks, each made specially for each phone.
Reception
Critical reception
The iPhone 5S received positive reviews from reviewers and commentators. Walt Mossberg of All Things Digital gave a favorable review to the phone, saying that the Touch ID "sounds like a gimmick, but it's a real advance, the biggest step ever in biometric authentication for everyday devices," and labeled "the best smartphone on market." David Pogue of The New York Times praised Touch ID, but said that smartphone market innovation has saturated, and "maybe the age of big annual jump has ended." He focused many of his reviews on iOS 7, which he believes to be the biggest change of this device from previous generations, praising new Siri features, Control Center, and AirDrop. In an editorial, Pogue stated that iOS 7 was the biggest change in the iPhone series, citing the change in the utilitarian interface as a major contributor to this. Scott Stein of CNET criticized the lack of design changes over the iPhone 5 and said that even though the iPhone 5S "is not a necessary upgrade, it's easily Apple's fastest and most sophisticated smartphone today." Though praised for its camera, the A7 64-bit chip, m7 motion-chip, and fingerprint scanning capabilities, some investors think that the iPhone 5S, despite a significant increase over the iPhone 5, is still relatively unchanged from its predecessor, and worried that the iPhone line has become a stagnant and boring product. Apple's stock price fell 5.4% after the launch closed at a low of $ 467.71 on the NASDAQ.
Darrell Etherington from TechCrunch who praised the iPhone 5S as the best smartphone available said "looks might not be different from iPhone 5, but internal components have a dramatic impact on normal day-to-day activities for smartphone users," and goes into detail explaining the impact of camera upgrades and specifications in the phone. Etherington suggests that the 64-bit A7 processor will not reach its full potential until the developers create applications that support it. Myriam Joire from Engadget found that the iPhone 5S can benefit significantly from A7 if the developers create applications that are optimized for 64-bit processors. Anand Lal Shimpi from AnandTech praised the A7 phone processor, described it as "very impressive", and stated that it was the most "futureproof of the iPhone ever launched." It pains me to use the word futureproof, if you are one of those people who likes to hold their devices for a while - the iPhone 5S is as good as the starting point. "Scott Lowe of IGN also highly praised his 64-bit processor," which has substantial power in processing power through HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, graphical upgrades of up to 32% and 38% in CPU benchmarks. " The debut of Apple's 64-bit A7 processor makes the Android smartphone makers to be surprised, especially Qualcomm whose 64-bit-on-chip system itself was not released until 2015.
Most reviewers recommend the iPhone 5S above the iPhone 5C that was released at the same time. 5C retains nearly the same hardware as the discontinued iPhone 5, while the iPhone 5S features substantial performance improvements/features thanks to the new A7 64-bit processor, as well as extra storage space, all for a relatively small additional charge over iPhone 5C (US $ 650 versus US $ 550 in March 2014). This is especially the case when iOS 8 is released and iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are each moved to the mid and low end of the iPhone range; iPhone 5S still has 16 or 32 GB of storage available while the iPhone 5C must be satisfied with 8 GB storage with only 4.9GB available to users after installing iOS 8. Next, the 5C polycarbonate exterior receives mixed acceptance and is seen as cost-cutting downgrade compared with aluminum/glass case iPhone 5; 5S retains its latest design and looks more premium because of its extra gold.
In 2015-16, there are still a large number of customers who prefer the 4 inch iPhone 5S screen size, which remains the second most popular iPhone after the iPhone 6 and ahead of the iPhone 6S. Apple stated in their show that they sold 30 million 4-inch iPhones by 2015, even when the form factor was successful as a flagship iPhone with a larger 4.7/5.5-inch iPhone 4 and 6 Plus redesign screen back in September 2014. Furthermore, designs 5 and 5S are considered "old golden kids from Apple phone design and benchmarks for mobile phones in general" (with 5S gold finishes adding a premium touch to a well-regarded 5 look), while 6th and 6S designs are less recognized critical because it "feels a bit wrong, as if you were holding soap soap for $ 650". The iPhone 5 is described as "a grace that is rooted in the way aluminum and glass work together." It feels sleek, yet substantial, different from the iPhone 6, which feels substantial in size alone, plus, unlike round corners everywhere from 6, iPhone 5 does not really look like any other on the market at that moment ". However, the design of the iPhone 5/5S is not suitable for enhanced, unlike the iPhone 6/6S that can better accommodate the growing consumer trend to larger screen sizes and indeed spawned the phablet 6/6S Plus model. When Apple stopped the iPhone 5S, it was replaced by the SE iPhone which looks outwardly almost identical to the 5S even when the internal SE hardware has been significantly improved.
Commercial revenue
The iPhone 5S and 5C sold more than nine million units in the first three days, setting a record for smartphone sales for the first weekend, with 5S selling units three times more than 5C. After the first day of release, 1% of all iPhone in the US is iPhone 5S, while 0.3% is iPhone 5Cs. Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray reported that the line at the Apple Store Fifth Avenue contains 1,417 people on the day of release, compared to 1,300 for iPhone 4 in 2010, and 549 for iPhone 3G in 2008 on respective release day. This is the first time Apple has launched two models simultaneously. The first release in China also contributed to the record sales results.
On launch day, major stock shortages were reported in most stores, in all countries where the iPhone 5S initially went on sale. Lots of customers lining up outside Apple Stores around the world were left disappointed by the severe shortcomings in all 5S models, with the gold model especially in very limited supply. While the situation is diminishing in the US in the days following its launch, other countries reported receiving some restocks. Some commentators question how Apple handles early releases, because online pre-orders are not offered for iPhone 5S, which means a large number of people are queuing outside the physical store, with most queues not receiving the unit. In the US, Apple offers an online reservation system, so customers can keep checking the units available at local Apple Stores, and order them for pickup. Online orders are also less supply on launch day, with shipping dates across all model sizes and colors changing from "7-10 business days" to "October" in all countries, within hours of taking online orders.
The iPhone 5S is the best selling phone on AT & amp; T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile in September 2013 in the United States, beating the iPhone 5C and Samsung Galaxy S4. According to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, the iPhone 5S surpassed the 5C limit with a two-to-one margin during its September release, confirming Apple CEO Tim Cook's view that the upscale smartphone market is not reaching the point of market saturation. While commentators view 5C as a failure because of supply chain cuts that signal a fall in demand, 5S is seen as a huge success. Apple admits that they have failed to anticipate the sales ratio, which led to overstocking of 5C and a shortage of 5S.
Six months after the iPhone 5S release, on March 25, 2014, Apple announced that iPhone brand sales had exceeded 500 million units. In May 2014, despite having been on the market for eight months, the iPhone 5S reportedly sold more recently released Samsung Galaxy S5 by 40%, with 7 million units of iPhone 5S versus 5 million Galaxy S5 units. The failure of the Galaxy S5 to overthrow the iPhone 5S from the top spot is a major setback for Samsung Mobile, as Samsung Galaxy SIII and Samsung Galaxy S4 earlier, in the first quarter of their release, have surpassed iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 respectively..
Touch ID Impact
A number of technology authors, including Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of ZDNet and Kevin Roose of New York believe that the fingerprint scanning function of iPhone 5S can help spur adoption of technology as an alternative to password by major users (especially in scenarios "bring your own device"), because the fingerprint-based authentication system only enjoys wider use in the corporate environment. However, citing research by biometric engineer Geppy Parziale, Roose suggests that CMOS-based sensors could become inaccurate and wear out over time unless Apple has designed sensors to prevent this from happening. Brent Kennedy, researcher of the US Computer Emergency Preparedness Team, recommends that users not rely on technology immediately, citing the uncertainty over whether the system can properly reject false prints.
After the release of iPhone 5S, the German Chaos Computer Club announced on 21 September 2013 that they have passed Apple's new Touch ID fingerprint sensor by using "easy daily means". This group explains that the security system has been defeated by photographing fingerprints from the glass surface and using images taken to create models of latex model thumbs which are then pressed onto the sensor to gain access. The group's spokesman stated, "We hope this eventually puts to rest the illusion people have about fingerprint biometrics.It is foolhardy to use something you can not change and that you go everywhere every day as a sign of security." However, by 2013, 39% of American smartphone users do not use security measures at all to protect their smartphones. Other people have also tried the Chaos Computer Club method, but concluded that it is not an easy process in both time and effort, given that users should use high resolution copies of complete fingerprints, specialty chemicals and expensive equipment, and because process spoofing requires time to achieve it.
Problems
Some problems experienced by iPhone 5S hardware after release. The most reported issue is that the angles reported by the mobile-level sensors have drifted several degrees, causing the gyroscope, compass, and accelerometer to be inaccurate. Reports suggest that this is a hardware problem. Some encounter other problems such as crashing the blue screen and then restarting, the power button makes a cracking sound when the phone is shaken, overheating, microphone not working, and Touch ID does not work for iTunes purchases. Some of these issues have been fixed by software updates.
