Looking back at this phone its just crazy. I was on my note 3 back then and my sister was using that. It KINDA made sense for a young girl though. Looking at it in your hands it looks like it should have a keychain on it.
Omg thank you for this review! I love the way to present this review. You have to be like the only person out of any other reviewers I have seen that actually says "it isn't dual speakers, just a microphone". So glad the iOS8 is out! I was debating whether or not to get Note 3 or iphone 5s. This has really helped. Thank you!
5:49 It's a shame that in 2021 you still can't close all your apps at once 😂 This is coming from an iPhone 12 Pro user. Been a fan of your Floss for since 2009 bro! Keep doing your thing brother. Much love from Chicago!
You are great, Floss. I appreciate your straight-talk review and I get a lot of laughs at the same time. I have watched several of your videos and you are consistently helpful and funny. This is my first iPhone because carrying the larger Android phones was getting old for me. I also wanted to try a whole new environment. So far, I'm liking my iPhone. Thank you for your videos, I am now a subscriber. Floss's videos are a go!
Thanks for the vid Floss...lookin forward to ur review of iPhone 6! Also u make me laugh so hard, it makes me miss all my cousins back in the day in Berkeley, Missouri, and when I was in the military. I'm now a new subscriber, thanks again Floss. BTW, I was really lmbo when u we're explaining how u use the flashlight...and then u started laughing...good stuff, later.
The iPhone 5S's Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor it's a DEFINITE GO & I like the 4 inch Retina Display & the battery like kinda sucks but the iPhone 5S itself is a DEFINITE GO!!!
By far the best videos on TH-cam. I'm getting a 5s because of the instability androids have. No matter what I do the battery always last no more then a few hours. I have the droid maxx not the Razer it sucks. The performance after a few months is horrible. This has a massive battery and still is garbage. Even with my note 3 there is lag and its suppose to be a beast. They throw all this performance in there phones and still can't get them to run at there best. Performance trumps all and android hasn't made it there yet.
I understand when you are talking about the workout part I have a Galaxy S4 lord knows how uncomfortable it would be if I had a note 3 in my pocket while working out. I typically work out with my belt clip and my Otterbox case so I don't have to feel it in my pocket while I am working out. I would recommend that case for a workout case but I am not sure if they have one for Note 3 yet.
+Flossy Carter When you said it was bad that it would be 97% after leaving it on standby for a whole night after charging to 100% I was just like ' :O that's much more than mine! mine goes down by like 10% or 12% over the period of 1 night! ' it may be due to me having my phone for over 2 years and wearing the battery out but still... 3% over 1 night is amazing in my mind!
this is when you over charge your battery. i know that every single phone that people over charge their battery had a bad experince with their battery life.
+Ashfak Anayet yeah, that's why I'm getting a new phone (5S or 5se if it comes out) and I will make sure to do everything possible to not damage the battery
Finally actual english! THANK you! Im currently stuck on deciding between the note3 to the 5s. And ive been an android fan for years. I just dont want to make a decision ill regret.
my iPhone 5s has never lagged once since i bought it in September. As far as getting rid of ALL the apps running in the Background at once, Apple can fix that with an Update. Also, Android has lag and So does iOS but its not really a frustration because iOS is different.
love your vids...give mad props to you in my vids floss...ima real user...i like real reviews...i dont want to see vids of people that are fanboys of certain phones..apple,android,windows,blackberry...these reviews are str8 up for people that use there phone and want to know what they might want to buy.....but i did click on this link thinking it was the galaxy s5 review...still watching it because my boy wants this device...i dont hate on any phone, or user..so im gonna let him see thanks bro
I would say stand by on every apple product is fantastic. I took my iPad 2 camping a few years ago in case I needed it. I didn't end up needing it, in fact I forgot I even had it. On the way home after a week of camping and having only used it once or twice for that whole week, I tried to turn it on, discovering that-oops-I had left it on the whole week and it was on 8%. I was amazed it was even still alive. Even though it did die shortly after.
Flossy Carter Yo floss, you are one funny dude. Lol, that Internet troll did not see your hands. Lol, and by the way; thanks... I got the g-note 3 because of your review. And this phone is sick. My co- worker doesn't even show me his iphone 5s anymore.
just got the iphone 5s gold 64 GB. the delay after turning the screen on i never noticed until now. the size i like, i moved from the note 2, to the 5s. i still have my note 2, and carry it around as a mini tablet since my bigger tablet bit the dust... i compared the camera of the 5s to the note 2 and found iphone's camera better quality in my eyes. but when editing using snapseed or filterstorm neue, it can be a pain on a smaller screen with all the panning and zooming. but how fast it takes the picture makes up for the small screen. battery wise, since the android update to 4.3 for the note 2, i used both devices to watch a movie starting at 100%. both on air plane mode, i played the movie on both devices at same time. 1.5 hour later i found that the note 2 had burned more battery then the iphone. then with equal usage throughout the day, the note 2 was in the red faster than the 5s. mind you the note 2 has been having battery bugs since the update, i reset the phone to factory settings, but still found the battery to drain faster then usual but probably be fixed by the time they release the 4.4 update.but great review man.
Floss your reviews are the best! Instead of the Snapdragon BS you review and talk about the stuff that acctually matter to the normal tech enthusias guy! Respect from Israel !!
traded my LG G2 for this bad boy a few days ago, Love it... So many accessories, QUALITY apps. It the phone just works. Tired of the app errors and play store 927 error and not all apps working for all phones for android...Beast of a Phone.
i said it with him in the end! lol. i skipped his review on the iphone5s because i'm done with the iphones. but i was interested in what he had to say about it and found myself nodding and agreeing to all his points. reminded me over again why i have the note3 now and not an iphone. i cracked up many times throughout the video. that was informative and entertaintaining! well done!
lol this guy is real af. i have an iphone 5 still. i dont really care for iphones i just have one because everyone else has it, so i am holding it for a while. whenever the new galaxy phone come out i am getting it day one when it release. Best review i've seen on the iphone 5s though.
It's refreshing to see a review that's straight up facts and no hype. My wife just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and the day before I upgraded to a Note 3. We both made the right choice.
Heyy what's up floss , I just want to ask you something... Now, I have kinda small hands so the iPhone 5s would be perfect for me??..and I never had a apple brand in my life.....and I love you floss(not in that way) you give real talk and real reviews....that is what's up...:-) ;-)
Floss i've had a few androids, i've loved them no lie, this is my first iPhone ever and i happen to dig the phone alot like... quick and smooth thts all i need in a phone, i love me some android but ATM iPhone does the trick for me.. im new to apple so i aint got no complaints ATM.
the camera on this phone is ridiculously good... the slow motion video feature is brilliant... just got mines on friday... loving it... it's a good quality phone, I must admit... though there are some downsides but nothing is perfect... great review floss.
Plus if you have an iPad which is one of the best tablets out there, the compatibility with the iphone with cloud and stuff is just amazing, as floss would say, its definitely a go
I will never own an iphone cuz i've heard a lot of bad things about it and they're just too small for me. My current phone is the samsung galaxy s3 and my new phone will be the galaxy note 3 after I get my upgrade. That phone looks sick! And your reviews are great. You helped me to decide whether or not to pick the white or black note. Im choosing the black. Thanks for your entertaining reviews Floss keep up the great work ;)
first 3 min about size, oke I get it you don't like small phone cos you use it for "bussines" lol buy laptop, macbook air, pro 13 or some something portable. Next 3 min is about animation, do you know you can turn it off in settings?
Great video Floss. I like my 5s but it's definitely the most boring OS I've used. I have an HTC One and a Lumia 1020 as well. They're all good phones and they all have there own strengths and weaknesses. I'm still waiting for my Nexus 5. for $350 it looks like a pretty solid phone but I've been waiting for over 2 weeks now for them to ship it.
Great review. I especially agree with the backup phone concept. I would use iPhone as my iPod in my aftermarket car stereo. and if I feel like carrying just one device on a road trip this is perfect. Small competent, reputable, and trendy.
For me, my 2 main gripes with the iphone 5S are: 1. The battery life.. just not good enough at all! It runs down quite rapidly, even when i have the brightness turned down. One of the main reasons i ditched my last phone was battery life and so was surprised to see the iphone 5s nearly as bad 2. Sharp edges...Using it without a case or wallet, I find the handling of the phone a bit uncomfortable due to the edges while typing or navigating the apps. I find the edges of the phone are a bit sharp and as such makes for an uncomfy hold/typing for me, unless you hold it with two hands.. It might just be me feeling this way tho
@VaiaRodriguezA I have large hands, and the 5 (same size as 5s) never game me any issues. Not only is it comfortable to use it is one of the few flagship phones that you can easy operate with just one hand.
Some "annoying" things like the animation time can actually be turned off (General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion), and as for features like NFC, in my experience, AirDrop works just as well. But if you're into customisation, there's no doubt this iPhone (or any iPhone for that matter) is not for you. Personally, I prefer iOS to Android, but all in all, different people have different preferences, and it is your money after all, so you might as well spend it on what you feel suits you best.
I currently have an iPhone XS Max and I really like it, when I got this phone I wanted to stay on my parents unlimited data plan since I’m living at home, once I move out I’ll spatchcock to a phone that runs on Android to see what Android is like to use since I’m so use to iOS.
Oh man that was such a marvelous review and one of the best reviews i have seen so far on " TH-cam" you've mentioned everything honestly and you didn't hide or lie on us finally i was really going to buy I phone 5s, at first when i opened this video i was about to change up my mind but then you mentioned some features that i liked, such as it's fit to your pocket and easy to carry easy to use quick phone etc. about me man I'd prefer Apple devices cause i have an i pad and i do not wanna a big screen or even giant size. finally hope you keep rolling and do more videos your accent was very easy to understand by the way I'm non native English speaker. best wishes from Egypt dude. and stop eating fried chickens :D start workout. :D
Great review Floss. The fried chicken comments had me cracking up big time. I agree with you as using the 5s as a back up. My main the Note 3 and the 5s as a back up. Best of both wolrds in my opinion.
Really enjoy your reviews, Floss! Good sense of humor mixed with honest opinion. Keep up the good work! I'll keep my iPhone 5s for next two-year contract. To each his own...
I love this guy lol But I have an iPhone 5 and love it to death running iOS 7. I'm appreciative for the great honest reviews that I can find so I can figure out if I should go buy a 5s. I think I'd love that phone too, but for now I'll be waiting on the iPhone 6, unless the smallest version available is over 4.7-in screen. A 4.5-in screen for the 6 would be great and I'll buy it immediately, but if the 6 is too big I'm going to upgrade to the 5s and call it a day
I'm just thinking how awesome iOS 7 would be if Steve Jobs was still here. But, I've had this iPod 3rd gen since it was released... and obviously I'm wanting to upgrade to a phone. Getting ready to go for my drivers license... etc... but I have 92 songs (not including the 100's of songs I've transported from CD's) and at least $150 dollars in apps. I was wondering if I should stick with apple products or if it would be worth it to switch over and get a Samsung GS5 (when it comes out) or another Android phone. Thanks.
For me personally i like the iPhone 5s space grey colour even though there's iPhone 6 or 6 plus etc. I love the design, simplicity and fluidity of the phone & it fits perfectly to my hand:) By the way i've had different kind of phones like iPhone 4s, Samsung S5, Sony Xperia Z3 compact but i've missed the simplicity & interface of the Apple so i bought myself a iPhone 5s today!!
Floss, that's quote of the year dawg! "You can use it as a backup." What person buys two smartphones? Not everyone a boss like you. On the real though, I have owned every iPhone, own the 5S and have a Galaxy Note 3. This review is so on point. The business saavy and professionals should go with the Note 3, and everyday, simple dudes who want a fast, reliable phone should go with the 5s. Everything you said was on point.
Hey floss this is exactly how i felt after having the 5s and went to note 3. Heads up i dont know if its me, but seems that its either the area that your at has little more hiss and popps tested on 7.1 tritons and b&w p5 so just seeing if diffrent area but keep and note 3 and xbox one either way keep up awsome reviews and keep it real.
Really good review to be honest, very real lol. I'm serious, it's an honest one, you gave everything that you would like to share for us, loved the way that you pointed out the things that you like or the ones you don't, earned a sub bro! Totally deserving more subscribers! P.S. I'm an apple fanboy lol ;)
I had an iPhone 4S (it has the same ppi as the 5S) but I didn't like the screen. It wasn't sharp enough. The resolution is not high. I bought a Galaxy S4 instead and i'm very happy with my decision. I can't believe how could I handle the tiny screen all those days...
Floss, another great review. Personally I hate iPhone but I still like watching your reviews. I've been watching your product reviews since the, Samsung epic 4g. Keep at it bruh.
Been watching your reviews because I'm undecided about the HTC One, iPhone 5s, & Galaxy s5. (Right now, I own a cracked iPhone 4s.) I'm so bored with the iPhone, but maybe the iPhone 6 will be exciting? I like that I can't get viruses on the iPhone & I like Apple Care. I mean, you can go into an Apple store and get a replacement for $50. I know, because I've dropped one and washed another. The HTC one (M8) looks so sharp! But, you can only get a free replacement within 6 months of purchase if you crack the face and I can't find any info on how well the company takes care of its customers after purchase? My husband and son have the Galaxy 2 and Galaxy s5, respectively. (Husband will use that sucker forever and it's that model that put me off the Galaxy. The colors are so over-saturated.) Anyway, what about viruses? I've never had an Android, so I'm trying to find out what I might be getting myself into. Some folks say if you just use Google Play on the web everything will be cool, while other folks say you need to buy an anti-virus app, and there's problem with lag? Hey, I'm thinking aloud now, and my point was to say thanks for helping me make a decision...thank you!!
I’m watching Floss’ old videos, and I agree older iPhones are too small I like big phones and big screens like the iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus, 8 Plus, XS Max, 11 Pro Max, and big Android phones.
You don't have to swipe one by one to kill your apps, you can kill up to three at a time you have to use three fingers for each app. And you can get rid of some of the animation in settings if you turn on reduced motion.
The real review... no doubt in that.. love your style Flossy always 100% real. People like me that can only afford 1 phone I really appreciate these Tech reviews. With that said I'm out lol. Keep up that unique style bro
As much as I dislike Apple products, I think this is one good unbiased review, saying good and bad about the iPhone, I'm Asian with small hands but I am still using a Nexus 4, 4.7inch phone, 4 inch is too small to read those news, webpages and stuff. Keep it up Floss. Enjoy Thanksgiving too.
Great/truthful review Floss, but you are correct. This iPhone 5s is too small, currently rocking the king(note 3) and I couldn't use a small iPhone lol
Good Looking Fam i was thinking about the iPhone 5S but your review was very good but im thinking bout GN3 +Gear but my next update is june 1st 2014 so something hot should be out
Man Great review man! I don't always comment on these videos, But I think You did a Great job reviewing the things you like and the things you don't like. ON the things You didn't like about the Iphone, I totally agree, I personally have the HTC ONE M8 and I Love it, the 2 front facing Speakers are nice and loud, love that, the speakers are Super important to me also the size on this iphone is too small, I don't like that. I do like iphones and am seriously upgrading to the New Iphone 6s PLUS, because I like the New bigger size. BUT, I don't like the fact the speakers kinda suck, COMPARED to the HTC 2 front facing speakers. Anyway, thanks man for this "REAL" Review, it was very Relatable and talking like an everyday person, just keepin in REAL, I like that man! Btw, just to let you know I'm half Japanese and Mexican and I LOOOOVE some Fried Chicken as well! lol
Diggin the way you present the phone and all the features. About to trade my S4 for an iPhone 5s. Mostly smaller size factor for me personally and app stability.. I just wish Apple would've included an LED notification indicator on the 5s. Small, but very useful feature I've come to appreciate from android devices.
that's how you do a review ( PERIOD)
Good review. I'm an Android user all day, but I still sat thru the whole thing. That phone isn't for me, but I can see how some people would like it.
I have an ipad, I don't need a huge cell phone. So for me, its the perfect phone to talk on!
Looking back at this phone its just crazy. I was on my note 3 back then and my sister was using that. It KINDA made sense for a young girl though. Looking at it in your hands it looks like it should have a keychain on it.
Omg thank you for this review! I love the way to present this review. You have to be like the only person out of any other reviewers I have seen that actually says "it isn't dual speakers, just a microphone". So glad the iOS8 is out! I was debating whether or not to get Note 3 or iphone 5s. This has really helped. Thank you!
Alexandria Sunne Hello. I'm not sure what I should get. Right now, I've got an s3 mini. Should I get the note 4 or the iPhone 5s?
Love watching these throwbacks. These phones are beast and your opinions still hold up today from when you got the phone. Real review is straight up
5:49 It's a shame that in 2021 you still can't close all your apps at once 😂 This is coming from an iPhone 12 Pro user. Been a fan of your Floss for since 2009 bro! Keep doing your thing brother. Much love from Chicago!
You are great, Floss.
I appreciate your straight-talk review and I get a lot of laughs at the same time.
I have watched several of your videos and you are consistently helpful and funny.
This is my first iPhone because carrying the larger Android phones was getting old for me.
I also wanted to try a whole new environment. So far, I'm liking my iPhone.
Thank you for your videos, I am now a subscriber.
Floss's videos are a go!
Thanks for the vid Floss...lookin forward to ur review of iPhone 6! Also u make me laugh so hard, it makes me miss all my cousins back in the day in Berkeley, Missouri, and when I was in the military. I'm now a new subscriber, thanks again Floss.
BTW, I was really lmbo when u we're explaining how u use the flashlight...and then u started laughing...good stuff, later.
Don't need to close all your apps, they don't run in the background as such, they get frozen.
The iPhone 5S's Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor it's a DEFINITE GO & I like the 4 inch Retina Display & the battery like kinda sucks but the iPhone 5S itself is a DEFINITE GO!!!
Chanse Ormon It sucks.
I was searching all the time and NOW I am seeing the best review on TH-cam
The reason why I like this iPhone is because am short so am 4'9 and I have small hands so it fits for me.
By far the best videos on TH-cam. I'm getting a 5s because of the instability androids have. No matter what I do the battery always last no more then a few hours. I have the droid maxx not the Razer it sucks. The performance after a few months is horrible. This has a massive battery and still is garbage. Even with my note 3 there is lag and its suppose to be a beast. They throw all this performance in there phones and still can't get them to run at there best. Performance trumps all and android hasn't made it there yet.
im getting the iphone 5s in 2 months im so hyped. I'll get it by the 22nd of December because of my birthday!!!
lmfaooo my hand was greasey, i was eating some fried chicken
Your profile is miley and Floyd
lol yea ;-)
I just got my 5S shit is smooth af
Still have my 5s still smooth af. Loading times are slower but animations are still smooth especially ios 10
Miguel Yusay i have it still now on iOS 12.4.6 and for me iT is a Nice phone! I have a Samsung galaxy j5 2017 too!!
The build is what attracted me to 5s
Same
I understand when you are talking about the workout part I have a Galaxy S4 lord knows how uncomfortable it would be if I had a note 3 in my pocket while working out.

He does what he says. Giving solid, hands on, and unbiased reviews. Favorite technology reviewer hands down
Flossy does the best videos hands down
You are my new favorite reviewer lol keep it real my dude.
just got the iphone 5s gold 64 GB. the delay after turning the screen on i never noticed until now. the size i like, i moved from the note 2, to the 5s. i still have my note 2, and carry it around as a mini tablet since my bigger tablet bit the dust... i compared the camera of the 5s to the note 2 and found iphone's camera better quality in my eyes. but when editing using snapseed or filterstorm neue, it can be a pain on a smaller screen with all the panning and zooming. but how fast it takes the picture makes up for the small screen. battery wise, since the android update to 4.3 for the note 2, i used both devices to watch a movie starting at 100%. both on air plane mode, i played the movie on both devices at same time. 1.5 hour later i found that the note 2 had burned more battery then the iphone. then with equal usage throughout the day, the note 2 was in the red faster than the 5s. mind you the note 2 has been having battery bugs since the update, i reset the phone to factory settings, but still found the battery to drain faster then usual but probably be fixed by the time they release the 4.4 update.but great review man.
Been watching your vidz forever still telling it like it is Specs mean nothing no phone seems slow anymore I agree.

Everything you said I totally agree to it, I own 5s sadly can't do much now, can't be asked to sell it but will use till something better's out
It's refreshing to see a review that's straight up facts and no hype. My wife just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and the day before I upgraded to a Note 3. We both made the right choice.
You are characterized by frankness, clarity and knowledge, and this is what I like about you.
Heyy what's up floss , I just want to ask you something... Now, I have kinda small hands so the iPhone 5s would be perfect for me??..and I never had a apple brand in my life.....and I love you floss(not in that way) you give real talk and real reviews....that is what's up...:-) ;-)
Yeah, you'll definitely like it!
Thanks floss
Not an iPhone fan but i always support the page and all of your official reviews my G Happy Thanks Giving! Enjoy the Henrock!
thanks for keepin' it real love thats whats up
Thank you my friend

Don't forget the MacBook also....
I will never own an iphone cuz i've heard a lot of bad things about it and they're just too small for me.

They're all good phones and they all have there own strengths and weaknesses. I'm still waiting for my Nexus 5. for $350 it looks like a pretty solid phone but I've been waiting for over 2 weeks now for them to ship it.
Nice review. Well enjoyed! You know how to keep a video going. Most other reviews I watch I get bored after 2 minutes. Keep it up!
Floss was hitting that Temple Run back in the day. Floss are you a Temple Run beast?
Real review! Real helpful. Appreciate it.
Great review. I especially agree with the backup phone concept. I would use iPhone as my iPod in my aftermarket car stereo. and if I feel like carrying just one device on a road trip this is perfect. Small competent, reputable, and trendy.
Good review homie!...I just bought a 5s. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
For me, my 2 main gripes with the iphone 5S are:
1. The battery life.. just not good enough at all! It runs down quite rapidly, even when i have the brightness turned down. One of the main reasons i ditched my last phone was battery life and so was surprised to see the iphone 5s nearly as bad
2. Sharp edges...Using it without a case or wallet, I find the handling of the phone a bit uncomfortable due to the edges while typing or navigating the apps. I find the edges of the phone are a bit sharp and as such makes for an uncomfy hold/typing for me, unless you hold it with two hands.. It might just be me feeling this way tho
@VaiaRodriguezA I have large hands, and the 5 (same size as 5s) never game me any issues. Not only is it comfortable to use it is one of the few flagship phones that you can easy operate with just one hand.
The swipe keyboard will be coming in ios 8
GRIEF3R ios 13 haha
rohn l lmaoo

Some "annoying" things like the animation time can actually be turned off (General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion), and as for features like NFC, in my experience, AirDrop works just as well. But if you're into customisation, there's no doubt this iPhone (or any iPhone for that matter) is not for you. Personally, I prefer iOS to Android, but all in all, different people have different preferences, and it is your money after all, so you might as well spend it on what you feel suits you best.
I currently have an iPhone XS Max and I really like it, when I got this phone I wanted to stay on my parents unlimited data plan since I’m living at home, once I move out I’ll spatchcock to a phone that runs on Android to see what Android is like to use since I’m so use to iOS.
Oh man that was such a marvelous review and one of the best reviews i have seen so far on " TH-cam" you've mentioned everything honestly and you didn't hide or lie on us finally i was really going to buy I phone 5s, at first when i opened this video i was about to change up my mind but then you mentioned some features that i liked, such as it's fit to your pocket and easy to carry easy to use quick phone etc. about me man I'd prefer Apple devices cause i have an i pad and i do not wanna a big screen or even giant size. finally hope you keep rolling and do more videos your accent was very easy to understand by the way I'm non native English speaker. best wishes from Egypt dude. and stop eating fried chickens :D start workout. :D
You can disable that home screen animation in the accessibility settings under reduce motion.
Probably the best review I've ever seen hahah. Props keep up the good work!
Great review Floss. The fried chicken comments had me cracking up big time. I agree with you as using the 5s as a back up. My main the Note 3 and the 5s as a back up. Best of both wolrds in my opinion.
Really enjoy your reviews, Floss! Good sense of humor mixed with honest opinion. Keep up the good work! I'll keep my iPhone 5s for next two-year contract. To each his own...
Hey man, go to settings>general>accessibility>reduce motion. this will eliminate the slow animation when unlocking iphone.
I love this guy lol
But I have an iPhone 5 and love it to death running iOS 7. I'm appreciative for the great honest reviews that I can find so I can figure out if I should go buy a 5s. I think I'd love that phone too, but for now I'll be waiting on the iPhone 6, unless the smallest version available is over 4.7-in screen. A 4.5-in screen for the 6 would be great and I'll buy it immediately, but if the 6 is too big I'm going to upgrade to the 5s and call it a day
I'm just thinking how awesome iOS 7 would be if Steve Jobs was still here. But, I've had this iPod 3rd gen since it was released... and obviously I'm wanting to upgrade to a phone. Getting ready to go for my drivers license... etc... but I have 92 songs (not including the 100's of songs I've transported from CD's) and at least $150 dollars in apps. I was wondering if I should stick with apple products or if it would be worth it to switch over and get a Samsung GS5 (when it comes out) or another Android phone. Thanks.
Finally Floss!! Does it still make a perfect Door Stopper???
Great review, I've been using iPhone since the first one and you pointed out things I didn't think about.
the calendar in ios7 is awful
For me personally i like the iPhone 5s space grey colour even though there's iPhone 6 or 6 plus etc. I love the design, simplicity and fluidity of the phone & it fits perfectly to my hand:) By the way i've had different kind of phones like iPhone 4s, Samsung S5, Sony Xperia Z3 compact but i've missed the simplicity & interface of the Apple so i bought myself a iPhone 5s today!!
Floss, that's quote of the year dawg! "You can use it as a backup." What person buys two smartphones? Not everyone a boss like you. On the real though, I have owned every iPhone, own the 5S and have a Galaxy Note 3. This review is so on point. The business saavy and professionals should go with the Note 3, and everyday, simple dudes who want a fast, reliable phone should go with the 5s. Everything you said was on point.
Best reviews ever, about time I found a brother to give it to me straight, no mumbling.
Hey floss this is exactly how i felt after having the 5s and went to note 3.
Heads up i dont know if its me, but seems that its either the area that your at has little more hiss and popps tested on 7.1 tritons and b&w p5 so just seeing if diffrent area but keep and note 3 and xbox one either way keep up awsome reviews and keep it real.
2020 People?? Just Looking back And Seeing Small Screens!!
Getting mine this Saturday and this review is legit. Thanks for the review bro
Really good review to be honest, very real lol. I'm serious, it's an honest one, you gave everything that you would like to share for us, loved the way that you pointed out the things that you like or the ones you don't, earned a sub bro! Totally deserving more subscribers!
P.S. I'm an apple fanboy lol ;)
I had an iPhone 4S (it has the same ppi as the 5S) but I didn't like the screen. It wasn't sharp enough. The resolution is not high. I bought a Galaxy S4 instead and i'm very happy with my decision. I can't believe how could I handle the tiny screen all those days...
Floss, another great review. Personally I hate iPhone but I still like watching your reviews. I've been watching your product reviews since the, Samsung epic 4g. Keep at it bruh.
Been watching your reviews because I'm undecided about the HTC One, iPhone 5s, & Galaxy s5. (Right now, I own a cracked iPhone 4s.)
I'm so bored with the iPhone, but maybe the iPhone 6 will be exciting? I like that I can't get viruses on the iPhone & I like Apple Care. I mean, you can go into an Apple store and get a replacement for $50. I know, because I've dropped one and washed another.
The HTC one (M8) looks so sharp! But, you can only get a free replacement within 6 months of purchase if you crack the face and I can't find any info on how well the company takes care of its customers after purchase?
My husband and son have the Galaxy 2 and Galaxy s5, respectively. (Husband will use that sucker forever and it's that model that put me off the Galaxy. The colors are so over-saturated.)
Anyway, what about viruses? I've never had an Android, so I'm trying to find out what I might be getting myself into. Some folks say if you just use Google Play on the web everything will be cool, while other folks say you need to buy an anti-virus app, and there's problem with lag?
Hey, I'm thinking aloud now, and my point was to say thanks for helping me make a decision...thank you!!
Great review. You're going to have to do another review of ios8. Apparently they are including things such as slide keyboards and clear all open apps.
I’m watching Floss’ old videos, and I agree older iPhones are too small I like big phones and big screens like the iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus, 8 Plus, XS Max, 11 Pro Max, and big Android phones.
You don't have to swipe one by one to kill your apps, you can kill up to three at a time you have to use three fingers for each app. And you can get rid of some of the animation in settings if you turn on reduced motion.
The real review... no doubt in that.. love your style Flossy always 100% real. People like me that can only afford 1 phone I really appreciate these Tech reviews. With that said I'm out lol. Keep up that unique style bro
As much as I dislike Apple products, I think this is one good unbiased review, saying good and bad about the iPhone, I'm Asian with small hands but I am still using a Nexus 4, 4.7inch phone, 4 inch is too small to read those news, webpages and stuff. Keep it up Floss. Enjoy Thanksgiving too.
Yo für thats a really good review! Most videos are from dem Fangos but you are great!
Hi Floss. I just wanted to see your first video. Believe this is not the one. Been a long time fan of your videos.
Great/truthful review Floss, but you are correct. This iPhone 5s is too small, currently rocking the king(note 3) and I couldn't use a small iPhone lol
Good Looking Fam i was thinking about the iPhone 5S but your review was very good but im thinking bout GN3 +Gear but my next update is june 1st 2014 so something hot should be out
Iphone 5s is the perfect size for a phone purpose.. Get a tablet/ipad if you want a large screen. 😁😁 planning to purchase an iphone SE.. 👍🏼
Phone's these days are tablets the standard size is around 6" now not really any small phone's around these days
Can i get your old iphone 5?
I'm hooked on your reviews. Good job
One of the better reviews Floss, nice work
Thats the kind of reviewer everyone wants.keep it up bro
Man Great review man! I don't always comment on these videos, But I think You did a Great job reviewing the things you like and the things you don't like. ON the things You didn't like about the Iphone, I totally agree, I personally have the HTC ONE M8 and I Love it, the 2 front facing Speakers are nice and loud, love that, the speakers are Super important to me also the size on this iphone is too small, I don't like that.
I do like iphones and am seriously upgrading to the New Iphone 6s PLUS, because I like the New bigger size. BUT, I don't like the fact the speakers kinda suck, COMPARED to the HTC 2 front facing speakers. Anyway, thanks man for this "REAL" Review, it was very Relatable and talking like an everyday person, just keepin in REAL, I like that man!
Btw, just to let you know I'm half Japanese and Mexican and I LOOOOVE some Fried Chicken as well! lol
this is, by far, the most helpful review ive found, thank you so much !!!!!
This was on point review without the insults fam , I'm bout to hop on that HTC one cause of the build I'm giving my 5S to my homegirl
Loving all your reviews Floss. Just feels like i'm asking my best mate to tell me about his phone.. No bullshit.
Diggin the way you present the phone and all the features.
About to trade my S4 for an iPhone 5s. Mostly smaller size factor for me personally and app stability.. I just wish Apple would've included an LED notification indicator on the 5s. Small, but very useful feature I've come to appreciate from android devices.
That's what I did man. Definitely worth it! It's so smooth and fast. Just cannot get enough of this phone
@RonRivet Hi. Have you considered the sticking with BlackBerry? Both the Z10 and Z30 are really great devices.
this guy tells every single thing that I think of when i watch a android vs iphone video and all those ifags talkin' shit bout android. salute bro
