This is good news for iPhone 5S users as One of the exciting news we got from the WDDC (Apple conference) concerning the iOS 12 update is that it will also be available to the iPhone 5S. You will recall that the device was launched 5 years ago.

The benefits of this software updates are greater security. It also means that you have less issues with app compatibility, as developers are constantly updating their apps to support new features. Sometimes those new features are supported only on the new software.

Here is a list of devices that will get the new iOS 12 update:

iPhone X
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 8
iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 6S
iPhone 6S Plus
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
iPhone SE
iPhone 5S

Compared to Google, Apple has done better in terms of Software updates, if you consider that we are looking at Apple’s entire smartphone line-up since 2013. while iOS 11 is installed on 81% of iOS devices, only 6% of Android devices have Android 8 Oreo installed.

Note: The Apple iPhone 5s will not get every new feature available on iOS 12, as some of those features require newer hardware. But it..........http://www.bridletech.com/2018/06/iphone-5s-to-get-ios-12-update-tho-5.html

That doesn't mean you should buy the iPhone 5S in 2018. Don't do it!

Ur rite, but then again if u compare its performance, specs and the new ios12 update, it still delivers more than some recent devices in the market. Also considering that's its now cheap after the release of iPhone X.

It's not usable to me. Better to buy a 2018 budget android phone abeg. Not only would the iPhone 5S underperform, its battery would be dead before 2 O'Clock on a normal day. There's also the fact that you probably can't get a new one in the market and the price of new one if you find would make it even less worth it.

The iPhone 5S is already 5 years old?! It's not so old. It's funny to realize the first generation iPad is already 8 years old.

When did we start upgrading phones like cheap computers? Phones I remember could last long as 3 - 5 years before one needed a brand new device. I guess I'm getting old: we're now in an era where phones need new versions every year.
