Apple iPhone 5s Refurbished (16GB, Gold)

I had gotten this phone brand new back in 2015 as a present. This being my first real flagship phone I was very impressed it was fast and quite reliable and smooth when compared to older samsungs I had used. After a few months I had realized I was very limited by what i could do with the phone outside of gettings apps on the appstore. No sideloading no accessing data from the phone when plugged into a pc or moving files around. You were limited to using itunes for music,video and pictures nothing beyond that. Apple to this day will still not allow you to access these basic features that android has had from the start even though you paid over 1k for their phone. The worst part is only 2 years later the screen stopped working entirely right outside the warranty ... MoreI had gotten this phone brand new back in 2015 as a present.

Apple to this day will still not allow you to access these basic features that android has had from the start even though you paid over 1k for their phone. The worst part is only 2 years later the screen stopped working entirely right outside the warranty period and was told it would be 300$ to fix shortly after the phone was bricked bootlooping nonstop. The worst part is this was not isolated my father had the same phone from 2016 to 2018 and it died the exact same way outside of warranty the screen died then shortly after began bootlooping. This is the worst case of planned obsolescence or poor quality control i have ever seen and has turned me off of apple forever with this and not being able to acces your entire phone while still paying 1 -2k for a "premium" phone I will never purchase a product from this slimy company again.

The Apple iPhone 5s, with an impressive 4.46/5 rating from 4542 reviews, is a pinnacle of innovation. Featuring Touch ID for seamless security, an A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, and a powerful 8MP iSight camera, it redefines smartphone excellence. The M7 coprocessor enhances battery life, while the ultrafast LTE wireless ensures connectivity on the go. With a sleek design, 4-inch Retina display, and iOS 7 enhancements, the iPhone 5s stands out as a timeless and user-friendly device, delivering a cutting-edge experience.

This was my first iPhone and the one I remember most fondly. It was a perfect introductory iPhone for coming from the Android platform. Sleek, slim, and just the right size for the era before we entered the current era of “phablets”. The introduction of the TouchID on this device changed the industry as a whole and started positioning Apple to be the leaders in Privacy they are today compared to the likes of of Google, Facebook, and Amazon who like to talk a big game when it comes to Privacy.

I absolutely loved this phone when I had it. It was the perfect size to fit in my purse, my back pocket. And I never had to worry about it being too big or falling out. It sucks that apple discontinued this phone and the updates for it. I wish they would make another phone that same size but with all new technology and new features for the iPhones. And I loved the thickness of the phone. I currently have the iPhone 12 and I completely hate how big the phone is and how thin the phone is. I feel like I could accidentally bend or break the phone. And it’s too big to fit in my pocket.

Lightweight, Portable, Small, Good value, and a great phone.

it is a very good phone for this price. it is small, but not badly specced. it does have a small screen, but for 16 bucks, i cant complain. Even if this was at&t locked, i would not have seen a difference, because i use at&t. the only thing i can complain about is that when in use for over 30 minutes, it heats up to high temperatures. but i can excuse this, because i have an iphone 7 plus, and that heats up to about the same temperature. overall, this is a great phone for people with small hands, and for people to have a second, smaller phone that is easy to carry for emergencies.

Nice

The phone is pretty solid! A little slow, of course, but that is to be expected since I wanted it for its early IOS status. The camera quality is just as I had hoped, and I was able to hook up my Apple Music with the device which is great. I just hope and pray no one else has access to the photos I take on it or any other information LOL... but actually though! Seller was great and communicative! Thank you!

Photo quality and battery life on point.

Hand's down best phone I ever had. Amazing battery life, amazing, amazing, amazing night time picture quality, specially for taking picture's of my dog treeing so her moving on top of it being dark. I miss this phone everyday, I have had 4 phone's after this one all samsung and they can't even hold a candel to the night time picture taking quality, battery life of this phone. It definitely could take a beating to but sadly due to a ex completely smashing led me to get new phone just after 3 year's of having it?. It was a while back. And just now writing a review because I really do miss it looking back at all the amazing picture's it has taken.

The phone works as expected. Battery life is in perfect condition as I was able to use the phone for several hours and almost lasted a full day. Howev

The phone works as expected. Battery life is in perfect condition as I was able to use the phone for several hours and almost lasted a full day. However the charger I received does not work, if that concerns anybody, not for me specifically since I have a lot of those. Minor scuffs on the phone but nothing to deter it's performance. Highly recommend! A+++ Seller!

They sent me the wrong phone

I ordered an iPhone 5S from this company, I love collecting old iPhones and the 5S is my favorite, I was really excited that I got my favorite iPhone for $60! But then, the day arrived, it came way earlier than expected, so I was really excited. I opened the package and oh look, they sent me an iPhone 6. And in the package, was a little note, which said, “PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A BAD REVIEW COMMENT”If I were you, I wouldn’t trust this company, buy from a high rated seller from EBay or something. They take returns and do refunds though, so that’s nice. Not happy

my rating on the 5s ...

i rarely even make google reviews, but here i am.it really seems like this iphone is still pretty good 10 years after the release. well, decent, of course.my parents bought this phone the time when it released in 2013. the phone belonged to them for a while for 4 years until it belonged to me in 2017 when i was 6 years old at the time. we kind of grew up poor that time.you see, i'm 12 years old now, and i have been using an ipad for probably like 5 to 6 years. the iphone 5s still functions properly and it works, though there are still some minor problems with this phone.since this phone is really old, some stuff can't really work out. one problem is that the battery runs out four times faster than the iphones apple releases now. even when off, the battery ... Morei rarely even make google reviews, but here i am.it really seems like this iphone is still pretty good 10 years after the release. well, decent, of course.my parents bought this phone the time when it released in 2013. the phone belonged to them for a while for 4 years until it belonged to me in 2017 when i was 6 years old at the time. we kind of grew up poor that time.you see, i'm 12 years old now, and i have been using an ipad for probably like 5 to 6 years. the iphone 5s still functions properly and it works, though there are still some minor problems with this phone.since this phone is really old, some stuff can't really work out. one problem is that the battery runs out four times faster than the iphones apple releases now. even when off, the battery still drains, so the only choice is to just shut the phone down. another problem is that it really can't update any further. ios 12 is the latest update that the 5s is compatible with. i still can't download some apps, try out new features, and etc.but even with all that being said, i'm going to restate this again. after 10 years passed by the time this phone was released, the iphone is still pretty good. i still use it as my phone. 3/5. thanks apple.
