The Apple iPhones have got lots of price cuts over the period of last few months and now, for the first time we are getting a worthy/complete Apple iPhone under 30,000 Rs. in India. It’s not like that the iPhones weren’t available under 30,000 Rs. but they used to be the iPhone 5c (16 GB & 32 GB) or the iPhone 5s (16 GB) and in the current time you get much better designed and feature packed phones than the iPhone 5c at this price, while the iPhone 5s with its premium design and fingerprint scanner is a good package but its 16 GB version isn’t worth buying as it is not expandable. But now we are getting the iPhone 5s (32 GB) at just under 30,000 Rs. or around. The iPhone 5s sports a 4 inches retina display (640 x 1136 pixels) packed in a compact premium metal body. The 4 inches screen has a very good quality but it feels really small so, if you want a phone for watching videos or multitasking or gaming this won’t be a good pick and there are lots of better options at this price. The phone is powered by the 64-bit Dual-core 1.3 GHz Apple A7 Processor and M7 Motion Co-processor coupled with 1 GB of RAM and gives good performance. The iPhone 5s can be updated to the latest iOS 9.2 which brings all the beauty and the latest features into the iPhone 5s, except few which requires new hardware (just like Force Touch or Apple Pay, although it’s currently not available in India). It has 8 MP rear camera which can click really good images but the 1.2 MP front camera falls behind the competition so, selfie lovers are advised to stay away from this phone. The iPhone 5s includes a Fingerprint scanner built into the home key and it can be used for unlocking the phone and for Touch ID. It is a single sim device with nano sim slot. The phone is powered by non-removable Li-Po 1560 mAh battery which gives average battery backup. Overall, the iPhone 5s is the weakest on the spec sheet but it still gives a great user experience. Still, it isn’t a good buying choice for all and only those who have low usage or have more of a regular usage like calling, messaging, social networking and browsing should go for it.
