| ![]() iPhone 5S running on iOS9 since 19th SEP '15 1. Runs wee bit laggy 2. Spotlight Search window is back again (hate it, though it was present in iOS6/7) 3. Battery life has definitely improved. Have tested on '3G', '3G & Wifi', 'Wifi' and Normal Cellular Network (No Data) Ahem! ![]() ![]() ______________________________________ iPad2 Mini running on iOS9 1. Didn't notice any lags 2.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys, by how much will prices of 5S fall when 6S and 6S+ is launched? I'm trying to move to iphones, barring only the price so far. Already familiar with the apple ecosystem (using iMac and iPad). Also 6 and 6+ feel too big for me. Will 5S feel/ become outdated? I know Apple products last a while, but would like to know opinion of others too. |

Apple has officially brought the 5S down to 30k for 16gb IIRC. It will take a while for it to come down below 25k(probably diwali time) on online portals. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() iOS 9 seems to have taken care of scripts launching apps from webpages as well as opening up new tabs etc. this is really nice now when using safari. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I updated my iPhone5S to iOS9 yesterday. I like the new grouping of pics in the Camera Roll, as well as the keyboard which now emulates Android behavior when typing lower case characters. The music app also has a better looking interface, although the usability is yet to be seen, as far as i am concerned. As for the performance and battery life, no real changes noticed atleast as yet. I updated the iOS using iTunes, and moved up from iOS 8.3, IIRC. I was not on the latest iOS8 version prior to updating. |

| ![]() I upgraded to iOS9 on my 3 year old iphone 5. The upgrade was smooth and it was done in 20 minutes. Noticed no lag in performance after upgrade. Just that the operating system is taking up too much space in my humble 16Gb phone. I had to delete lot of photos / music to accommodate the upgrade. |

Regarding screen size, I would say the 4" screen is very handy for daily use unless of course if you read a LOT of articles and watch movies on your mobiles. I do read the news daily and and watch a couple of videos once in a few days. For me the 5 seems more than adequate. Add to that the lag-free experience and the wonderful camera and I have been loyal to my phone. Hope to use it for another year at least unless I get a tempting deal on a black 5s. ![]() | |

| ![]() Apple is going to sell all three generations concurrently. That is 5S,6 and 6S. After the recent 5S-price revision the 30K price is more or less in sync with the us unlocked sim free prices of USD 450+ (current rate of 65 bucks). Don't think I can say the same for the 6 and upcoming 6S. I was thinking of waiting and getting the 6S some time back. Till I got a hint of what it would cost with 16gb being the base storage. Got a Galaxy S5 in the interim period, I'l probably use it a while and consider picking up the 64 gb iPhone 6. |

I can vouch for iMac lasting long, 3.5+ years and as good as new. The bug for Apple has bit me hard. Also don't want to start Android vs apple debate, but the Apple cameras are simply superb. Even ipad camera takes very good pictures in decent light. And if I get the 5s, it'll be with me for a while. Also hyperlapse is available only on iOS. Amazing timelapse app. | |

| ![]() Can you pls confirm that this is true? I was contemplating an iPhone 6S from the US and if it is not going to work with Airtel 4G, it is a deal breaker |

Few friends have the 5S and no issues with them and considering the savings over the current model, it makes sense IMHO. | |

Acc to www.Apple.com/iPhone/LTE model no A1633(6S) and A1634(6S plus) support one band ( 30-2300Mhz) more than A1688(6S) and A1687(6S plus). Acc to what I know, Airtel used 1800 and 2300 Td lte bands pan India. So unless you buy a carrier locked phone, it should work in India. Last edited by blackwasp : 23rd September 2015 at 23:05. | ||
