Product reviewsApple iPhone 5S (ME432B/A) 16GB (Unlocked) GSM Smartphone - Space Grey

Honest review

The phone that i got has moderate scratches and scuffs mainly on the edges, few very light ones on the back. I use cases to hide it. The screen is also scratched lightly, but can't be seen when using screen protector. I was very dissopointed because of that, because it wasn't promised. Anyway phone works well, no problems at all. The battery life isn't good, but what to expect - it has only 1560mAh. I use 4G 24/7 and it lasts about one day. I charge it every night. Fingerprint scanner is amazing, one of the best features of this Iphone. Also must love the camera - does better pictures than my last phone Nexus 5. I must say that the phone doesn't lag and works smootly. The price is right for this product. If you are OK with a little wear and don't want to buy 100% new Iphone 5s with double price, then buy this one. It works perfectly just like a new one. I recommend it!Read full review...

Almost what I expected

The phone came really quick, I believe it was the next day. There seems to be a lot's of times when the touch screen does not respond at all. Sometimes I can't pick up the phone from that issue. The ear speaker quality also is average, where the sound from it comes distorted. The battery life is really good for that phone. Well that's about it. I guess I couldn't expect more from an used phone, but it could be better.Read full review...

Another item off my bucket list

For years I had a Blackberry and dreamed if an iPhone, always just that little bit beyond my finances. After a brief disappointing time with cheap Android phones, I decided to see if I could afford to purchase a reconditioned iPhone. I was originally looking at an iPhone 4S but after some research regarding battery replacement, etc. I opted for the 5S and discovered mine on eBay at a really good price and with a 12 month warranty from a high feedback eBayer. I have only had it a short while but so far the battery has been good and I experienced no problems setting up the phone. The real beauty is that, having an iPad 4, getting to grips with the capabilities of this handset was really easy. I downloaded a manual from the Apple website (just in case) and look forward to enjoying this mobile.Read full review...

Small and great phone.

It's a good phone that fits in my hand (amazing!) and is a nice size. The battery life is generally great but it did drain from full battery to 4% this morning - the first time that this has happened. The colour is good and the finish is satisfactory. It was good value at £65 and was worth more than that in my opinion.Read full review...

Typical iPhone - works well when it's not breaking, which they do often

Yes, iPhones are nice to use, and take good pictures, but they are SO unreliable and temperamental. I've lost count of the number of lightning cables, faulty screens, etc., and in the case of this phone the battery only lasted about 6 months then it was a shop-job to replace that.Read full review...

Good entry level iPhone

The first iPhone had a faulty screen which the supplier replaced with obviously another 2nd hand part, but it works well. The battery life is OK, but will need replacing at some time, I've learned to live on half power.Read full review...

Top quality at an affordable price

After a slight misunderstanding regarding delivery time the problem was resolved speedily and delivered first class.
Pleased to report that the condition of this phone was far better than expected at the price. I don't find the omission of the finger print security a problem,at all, as you can still set up your own unlock password. Not the responsibility
of the seller...but I do find that the key pad is not as light as my previous 4s. I have upgraded to the latest Apple
10.2.1 system so guess I am now up there with the 7's costing six times as much. This model also has a superior Sony ( I think ) camera so all in all a very satisfied customer. Not sure about battery life as I am a low user.Read full review...

Very good value

Bought as a replacement for my dead iPhone 4. Looks like a new phone. Battery life is a bit disappointing as my iPhone 4 lasted around 3-4 days, this only lasts for approximately two days under the same circumstances. Still, overal I am very happy with this purchase.Read full review...

Good value smartphone

In my opinion the iPhone 5 is probably currently the best widely used smartphone, with good battery life and excellent camera, and loads of features and Apps available. Unfortunately the only downside (hence 4 stars not 5) is that it really needs a good cover and robust screen protector to protect it - the glass in both front and rear are very vulnerable to damage if dropped.Read full review...
