1st time smart phone owner
I have held off buying a pocket computer until a month ago (why yes, it is 2016). I made it all the way to 30 before I had to upgrade to a smart phone, and while I absolutely miss my slider phone in all of its buttoned glory, I have gotten substantial enjoyment out of my new (to me) iPhone 5s.
1. I'm a fan of Apple products and how intuitive their interface is. For someone who has willfully stayed out of the tech loop for this long (isn't the iPhone 7 debuting this month?), the learning curve on my iPhone 5s was surprisingly small.
2. The keyboard is pretty accurate and not overly sensitive. This is particularly key for me. I cannot overstate how much satisfaction I got from the tactile sensation of pressing the buttons on my old phone. I like buttons, and I was especially worried about this change. It has been a much easier than anticipated transition.
3. I'm impressed with the battery life. With moderate use (texting, checking news updates now and again, listening to music), the battery will still last me over 24 hours. It's not the 3-4 days I used to get out of my old phone, but given the screen and the fact that it's pinging servers and up to all the other things that smart phones are up to, I'm surprised how long the battery actually lasts (especially since I work in a bar where at least twice a night customers ask for a charger for their phones).
4. The size was a big draw for me, and I'm not disappointed. I like that it's lightweight and that it fits in my pocket, even in the bulky drop-proof case I got for it. I don't feel like I'm missing out on display quality even though it is smaller than a lot of other phones today.
Overall I couldn't be happier with my decision to buy the iPhone 5s.
