Now that the Apple iPhone 6 is about to come out, it’s worth asking the question whether the iPhone 5S is still a good buy. Here’s a comprehensive look at this question.

Is the Apple iPhone 5s Still a Good Buy?
The Apple iPhone 5s is absolutely still a good buy since at least in terms of specs, the iPhone 6 is only a minor upgrade. The RAM is still the same, the processor is only a little bit faster. The iPhone 6 gets double the internal storage but that’s about it. The cameras are the same resolution, the body is made of the same material, the video shoots at the same resolution, and so on. Getting an iPhone 5s absolutely still makes plenty of sense.
