Reception towards the device was positive, with some outlets considering it to be the best smartphone available on the market due to its upgraded hardware, Touch ID, and other changes introduced by iOS 7. The 5S is the first iPhone to be supported through six major versions of iOS, from iOS 7 to iOS 12, along with the iPhone 6S and the first-generation iPhone SE which were supported from iOS 9 to iOS 15, and the second iOS device to support six major updates - the first being the iPad 2 which supported iOS versions 4 to 9.
Among new software features introduced to the iPhone 5S were AirDrop, an ad-hoc Wi-Fi sharing platform Control Center, a control panel containing a number of commonly used functions and iTunes Radio, an internet radio service. Designed by Jony Ive, iOS 7 departed from skeuomorphic elements used in previous versions of iOS in favor of a flat, colorful design. The iPhone 5S originally shipped with iOS 7, which introduced a revamped visual appearance among other new features. It had a 4-inch display, similar to the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C.
Earphones known as EarPods were included with the 5S, and Apple released accessories including a case and a dock. The camera was also updated with a larger aperture and a dual-LED flash optimized for different color temperatures. A redesigned home button with Touch ID, a fingerprint recognition system which can be used to unlock the phone and authenticate App Store and iTunes Store purchases, was also introduced. It introduced the A7 64-bit dual-core system-on-chip, the first 64-bit processor to be used on a smartphone, accompanied by the M7 "motion co-processor". The 5S has vastly upgraded internal hardware, however. The iPhone 5S maintains almost the same external design as its predecessor, the iPhone 5, although the 5S received a new white/gold color scheme in addition to white/silver and space gray/black.
It is the seventh generation of the iPhone, succeeding the iPhone 5, and unveiled in September 2013, alongside the iPhone 5C. The iPhone 5S (stylized and marketed as iPhone 5s) is a smartphone that was designed and marketed by Apple Inc. brightness (typical), fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating on frontġ.2 MP, 720p HD video, Burst mode at 10 fps, f/2.4 aperture, 1.9 µm pixels, Auto HDR for photos
