Disappointed in iPhone 5s

[tigerinexile]

Went from the 5 to the 5s.

Don't regret it, but won't do it again -- I wanted to have my home phone and my traveller to both be LTE-capable iPhones.

Otherwise, iPhones make much more sense to upgrade on two-year cycles.

Need advice, coworker is offering 5s 16gb gold for $400. Good deal or no?

If it's in mint condition, that is an excellent deal...the carrier locked models in gold are still well over $500 on eBay and locally on Craigslist.

You ARE the expert. What kind of condition is it in? Are there any scratches or burrs on the phone? At all? The only thing you really can't know is how many charge/discharge cycles the battery has been through (unless there's some method for determining that).

Yeah. I think it has a tiny scratch on it but I saw him use it and I looked close and couldn't really see it. Plus it'll end up in a case. I'm not the naked type... With phones.

He's owned it less than a month, I was around when he bought it. He's only selling it because he switched back to his other carrier for a family plan. As stated above, minor scratch but will be in a case.

Man, take it and sell it for more.

And make sure he doesn't sell it to someone else soon.

It sounds like a great deal!

Great deal. I paid 550 for a silver/white 16g on eBay. It was still factory sealed. 400 is a good price.

$400 is a great price. I paid $480 for my Space Gray. To me any 5s 16gb from $500 or lower is worth buying if it's good condition. Because they cost more in other places like eBay , Craigslist , retail is $650 so $400 is good.

Motorola has top tier LTE radios, always have since the Droid Razr to the Droid Maxx.. Send a MMS while talking on the Phone at the same exact time? iPhone still cant do that.

I send mms while talking on the phone all the time....

I know you stated you don't need more storage than 16 GB so for you it's a great deal

By the time I fill my phones, I've got a new one already that I'm eyeballing. I generally only keep my photos and music on my 64GB sad card in my N3. I have mostly have filled my iPhone with Cydia tweaks. LOL

I love how this thread went from "disappointed in the 5s" to a discussion about buying one.

I'm sorry.

 

[kataran]

I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry the thread moved in that direction

But keeping on thread topic is a standing Forum rule internet wide

But I'm glad this thread turned positive

Me??? Nothing. I didn't start the thread. I was being sincere when I said I lived the way the thread became positive. Not sarcastic.
