IOS 7
One of the big changes on the iPhone 5S is one that will come to a number of other devices: iOS 7. However this is clearly the flagship device for the new operating system, and it shows off the UI redesign superbly.
The Retina display is clearly calibrated to make best use of the explosion of colour on offer, and the flatter icons look painted onto the screen.
And now that we've seen this for a whole year, it's time for a new upgrade -iOS 8 has been announced, and while it hasn't changed much aesthetically, there are many more things to be aware of.
The new update is going to bring the chance to track your health(and even your caffeine intake) as well as connect to more devices within the home.
It will also finally open up things like the keyboard, which means you'll be able to customise your phone in ways you wouldn't before - and the good news is most of it will be coming to the iPhone 5S.
But enough about the future - what about the now? Touch ID is a system that we didn't expect to see in phones now, with fingerprint scanning relatively written off as being something that was just too cumbersome to implement. Just look at the Motorola Atrix with its back-mounted sensor. that didn't really work.
A7 Chip
The new A7 chip from Apple is an interesting concept: not only does it bring a huge boost in power, but it's now been turbo-charged to a 64-bit CPU.
To most people that label will mean nothing more than wondering whether this means their phone is as powerful as a Nintendo 64
