Comparison of iPhone 5s with its main rivals

Storage capacity isn't anything special, but with Apple trying to shove everyone off to the cloud, it's really no surprise that there's not a lot of change there. And while we'll have to wait and see how Apple's custom A7 processor compares to the Snapdragons and Qualcomms we see everywhere else, judging from past processor updates, this baby's going to be razor fast. Plus, the M7 coprocessor should be giving it a major boost.

Of course, with a killer processor comes an unfortunate reality—battery life. Because what's the point of a powerful phone that you can't even turn on? We've seen a mild improvement in this newest iPhone iteration, but going off how fast we've seen iPhone 5 batteries dying, it's not quite enough to make a real difference. Still, the most notable thing missing in the 5S is—still—NFC, which is unfortunate for anyone looking to start taking advantage of features like Google Wallet. Apple seems to be waiting a long, long time to jump on that NFC train, so hopefully we'll see it the next time around. For now, though, it seems to be one of the only things holding it back.
