Question

Is the iPhone 5s outdated?

Aug 21, 2016 11:59PM PDT

Hey all, so i have $400 AUD to spend on a new phone. I have always loved the iPhone 5s, but owned android phones. I am just worried this phone will be obsolete soon. I would like to hear your input's on this phone.

I have asked my friends who own 5s' and they all say it runs fine. Anyway, i'd like to hear what you think about this phone, and possible recommendations for other phones for $400 AUD. The 5s i'm looking at is the 32gb model.

Seems nice enough. I only have 16GB so good idea on the 32.

I will share I added a Jackery battery to it so I don't have to charge as often plus I can use those rather plentiful USB cables.

Ah ok thanks. Any idea about the 5c? I am a bit tight with cash as i'm saving for a mountain bike, and i've found the 32gb 5c for $270.
