Everyone Loves The iPhone 5S

The first round of reviews for Apple's new iPhone, the iPhone 5S, are out. And verdict appears to be unanimous: every writer gave the iPhone 5S an amazing review.
There are three big features that set the iPhone 5S apart from the old    iPhone 5: 
  • Its fingerprint sensor called Touch ID that can unlock the phone without a passcode
  • Its faster processor, and 
  • Its improved camera.
 The iPhone 5S is the first digital device I've seen with a simple, reliable fingerprint reader—one you can confidently use, without a thought, to unlock the device instead of typing in a passcode. You can even use this fingerprint reader, called Touch ID, to authorize purchases from Apple's App, iTunes and e-book stores.

All my pictures were slightly sharper than on the iPhone 5 and low-light pictures were much less washed out by the flash. The camera app has been improved, with a new burst mode that takes many shots quickly and then picks the best ones, and a slow-motion video feature that lets you choose parts of an action sequence to slow down. It worked seamlessly.
 
It appears that the iPhone 5S excels at everything it promises to do. Most reviewers seem happy with the fingerprint sensor, and say it works as advertised. Walt Mossberg called it a game-changer.
They also liked the new iPhone operating system, iOS 7, which has a brand new design.
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the differences we've seen.

iPhone and iPad users will be able to download iOS7, the new operating system from Apple, on September 18.
Brace yourselves. This is the most dramatic change in iPhone software we've seen yet. Apple has completely redesigned all the basic apps that come with the iPhone like Mail, Calendar, and Music.
