Get whatever feels best in your hand in my opinion. They all do the same shit basically at the end of the day.

The images that the 5s can produce are pretty amazing.

Maybe a bit better than cheap Androids.

The reviews are up and pretty positive overall. Anandtech has a great write-up on the A7. That is one seriously impressive processor.
Better yet is that Geekbench has been updated so they could test 32bit and 64bit. The performance increase for 64bit is about 31-32% overall (individual tests could be anywhere from 25% slower to 800% faster.
So much for there being no immediate benefit to 64bit. Wonder what all the naysayers who actually wrote detailed articles claiming there'd be no benefit think now? Talk about making yourself look stupid to all your readers.

Yeah some of those articles, and the anti apple idiots feeding off them, were downright embarrassing.
64 bit will give an immediate and noticeable performance boost when used. However what this does is segment the iphone 5 market significantly, something I know Jobs wanted to avoid for a long time. Also, in my opinion, all that power is wasted on a small screen device.

As for stock, it's going to be next to impossible to get a gold one, that's for sure. Idiots will be willing to pay top dollar for one.

Nobody on my facebook mentioned it either.. I'm sure the 5S sold out pretty quickly to the fans, but most people don't really care I think.

Gold is completely sold out, with no estimate dates so far.
Still plenty of stock in China though.

With the new Canadian pricing, flipping cdn phone anywhere would be tough. The base 16gb is 800 tax in. Very slim if any profit margin.
Only possible to get decent return if you buy at tax free states in US like OR.

Posted via RS Mobile | China's 16GB's is $5288, equivalent to ~$888 CAD.
Those with the connection, and ability to bring back mass quantities will still be able to profit.
