Apple’s newly announced iPhone 5S is a pretty great update to the iPhone, thanks to its first-of-a-kind Apple A7 chip, the M7 motion co-processor and an improved camera with tricks you can actually use but how does it fare against the competition?
Let the specs comparison chart decide that for you.

Some people might’ve been pondering over the inclusion of iOS as an exclusive feature but then again, the ecosystem and experience it provides is pretty much unmatched elsewhere (despite getting surpassed by Google Play recently).
Except for the 4 inch display, most of the things are changed, maybe not so in the naming department but certainly under the hood.
Also the Touch ID is quite an interesting addition which will certainly help in the popularizing of the technology. If you think that these additions make your life easier then you should go ahead and stand in the long queue, but if not, then the list of competitors isn’t short either.
iphone 5 is the most disappointed tech of 2013:(
True… Jobs is dead that’s the realization one has after looking at 5 and 5S
iphone sy others brand achy hain
Samsung is the way better in specs than others :)
Regardless of all those fandroids’ bashing of iPhone, it will still sell like hot cakes, and it will always stand unique among all those LGs, Galaxies and what not.
don’t know why people spend so much money on iPhone. why not buy a S4, Xperia Z Ultra or HTC One. they are even cheaper than iPhone and also much better than iPhone.
The same question iPhone users ask , we don’t know why people use Galaxy.
True
iOS Is “Worlds Most Advanced Operating System”.
Android “Beep.. Beep.. Im Still Full Of Bugs”
in which way iOS is the worlds most advanced OS ? can you explain ?
If I Tell You 1000 Things FanDroids Will Still Not Accept It..
Ta Faar Mera Faida Tanu Dassan Da???
disappointed :'(
What Did You Want??
I want big display dual sim and at least in budget like Samsung htc sony LG
iphone 5s has 1570 mah battery … please correct it
are you kidding me? look at the specs. its the worst phone on the list you showed in your article. And finger print sensor is 5 years old
Yesh Whatever..
Grapes Are Sour..
LG has surpassed all of them in benchmarks but still the fans of samsung needs something else
don’t get exited about the touch id (if i am not wrong its about the thumb print authentication?) the data stored, the finger prints can be used for spying on the iphone 5s proud owners. yes no privacy for youuu haha , its amazing that NSA surveillance made a lot of buzz but no single word uttered in such regard by the representatives of Apple.
Another crappy product from Apple. All others are way better than ‘ipone’
Grapes Are Sour..
Actually the Real competition iPhone has is from the Nexus devices…. all other customized cheapDroids tend to fade away quite early in a smartphone user life…. :D
Does anyone know why Iphone weights much lighter than most other competitive smartphones?
