Choosing an iPhone - troywellbuilt - 09-24-2015
My son needs a new phone to replace his wonky iPhone 4s. His budget will allow a used 5s for $300, or a used 5c for $200. I'm leaning toward the 5s. Thoughts? Thanks.

Definitely 5s. It has the A7, which is 64-bit.
Apple made 64-bit apps the requirement earlier this year, so that forms the unofficial dividing baseline between "old" and "current."
Another example -- content blocking in iOS 9 requires a 64-bit processor.

I have this one: http://www.mophie.com/shop/space Since I'm limited in storage having a 16GB 5s, this helps a lot. Plus it's been drop tested.

How do you like that Space Case for storage and usability?
