What customers say about "Features"
Apple iPhone 5S UK Smartphone - Silver (16GB)
- Siri – Smoother and better voice accuracy. More natural and intuitive. I provide commands (“remind me about the 8am dentist appointment on December 31th”) and Siri understands.
- The overall Volume of speaker is louder on the 5s than on the Galaxy S4. I can hear the ringer from other rooms.
- Availability of iMessage and Facetime. Makes communicating with other Apple users simple. I can see when they are typing a reply back to me, and I can even Facetime in the car or from anywhere without having to download an configure a 3rd party app such as Skype
- SIRI is a toy - an elaborate Magic 8 Ball with more responses tuned in. It is easier to voicedial on a dumbphone than to use Siri's primary purpose in life because ultimately, Siri is NOT AT ALL intelligent
- Phone works great. My only complaint is that I am unable to turn off the shutter sound. The shutter sound plays when you take a photo or screenshot regardless of whether the phone is on silent or not.
