Price last checked: 3 Jan 2020. Confirm current price before buying.
This is a 2013 device running on the Apple A7 chipset, a dual-core 1.3GHz setup paired with just 1GB of RAM. It's nowhere near current performance standards, but it was Apple's flagship silicon at the time. The 4.0-inch IPS LCD screen packs 326 ppi into a compact body that weighs just 112g, small enough to use one-handed without any stretch.
The rear camera sits at 8MP with dual-LED flash and can shoot 1080p video, decent for stills back then but limited by today's low-light and detail expectations. Battery capacity is modest at 1560 mAh, which was standard for the era's smaller phone bodies. It also introduced Touch ID, Apple's first fingerprint sensor, built into the home button. Apple iPhone 5S (32GB) price in Malaysia starts from RM1320, and it ships with 32GB fixed storage with no card slot for expansion.
It runs iOS 7 out of the box but can be updated to iOS 9.2.1, which caps how current it can stay on newer apps.
