iPhone 5S Highlights Photos Pricing Availability

iPhone 5S follows on Apple’s tradition of launching an incremental iPhone one year after every major launch. However, the iPhone 5S is more than just an increment on the iPhone 5. It is to some extent revolutionary as it marks the emergence of more secure fingerprint log-ins on our smart phones, something you should expect other smartphone vendors to start emulating in coming months. The iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max are the latest models of the iPhone.
