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.
