the iPhone 5s was perfect!

I have the same 5s in gold and it looks amazing!

I remember when I got this one shortly after it’s availability. I upgraded from 4s and it was insane. The bigger size, iOS 7 and Touch ID were really game changer. How simple things were then…

which is why the 2016 SE is my all time favorite phone, same exterior but with the guts of 6s, still holding strong in 2022

Ahhh... that locking sound effect. It's perfect. I miss the unlock sound too. Such simple things

[MrAeral]

This is an amazing phone! I still have it. Gold version. It looks beautiful

That was my first iPhone. I got it at launch. Amazing camera for its time and a wicked headphone amp. Touch ID was pretty sic and worked flawlessly. That phone was so reliable. Served me well from 2013 to 2017 when I got iPhone X. I'll always miss the simplicity and practicality of this phone though. I still use it as an iPod

It also was the first phone with a 64 bit processor for the consumers, as Apple claimed back then.
Very awesome one.

I just bought an iPhone SE (1st gen) which has the exact same design as the iPhone 5S but with the specs of the 6S. It’s so good even today and gets support up to IOS 15

YOUR HOLDING MY FIRST IPHONE 😭
SO NOSTALGIC

As someone who used an iPhone 5S back then, I can confirm it was one of the best classic era iPhones we ever got. Plus being the introduction to Touch ID and being far better than the 5C ever was, it was a grand phone. I wish I still had mine, but it’s battery long since croaked and I traded it in for an iPhone 7 when that model was new.

One of my favorites too.
Its just Smart and Fit

[Bendaak]

Great phone. Liked it so much I got a gold SE 👌🏻

[aryaray]

This was actually my dream phone and still it is 🎉

[keldahshan]

Had it when it launched and it was just awesome for the time back then. The fingerprint sensor, software, camera, and form factor were all just in the right place. Loved it.

This was the turning point from fun 3D to corporate art style 2d

Also, it was the first 64-bit phone which set a trend for every company to switch to 64-bit architecture. Truly legendary!

[Ghergheles]

I had that phone from 2013 to 2019 when i had xs but now I have 13 and the feeling of square design is just perfect I fell like I'm in 2013 again.

[Deadbass_]

This was my phone in my high school years and to this day I still have it and it runs well

[catinthepeng]

I miss 5S so much. I had the rose gold one, and I really loved it.

[cesarspain]

I remember the feeling of having the first 64-bit phone and how it felt like being part of one of the greatest revolutions in mobile computing, and it was definitely. The 5S is one of the biggest steps forward ever in the phone world.
