iPhone 5S review and comparison

As promised, here is a video of the review, un-boxing, and comparison of the new iPhone 5s. A few things not mentioned in the video: the iPhone 5s has a slow motion camera that shoots at 120 fps (frames per second), and a new burst mode that takes as many pictures as you want, really fast. It then groups those pics into a group that you can then go into and choose which ones you want to keep, and which ones you wish to discard.

 Check out our thoughts after the jump!

After just unboxing the brand new iPhone 5s we noticed a startling difference between the unboxing experience between the 5s and the 5. The color of the box no longer corresponds to the color if the iPhone therein.

 Before the if the iPhone was black, the box would be black, if the iPhone was white, the box would be white. No more! It seems now with apples new iOS 7 push for everything to take on a lighter tone, and be more simplistic, (and perhaps to save ink) they have opted for white boxes for all three colors of the iPhone. 

This might not seem like a big deal. But for a company that obsesses painstakingly over every single detail this is a major departure from their customary packaging.

For the rest if the unboxing experience, it remains much the same. Coming with a pair of EarPods, the regular wall-adapter, lightening cable and instruction guides. I did however notice that the box was strangely heavier than I first remembered. This detail is probably inconsequential but nevertheless deserved to be said.

Don't forget to check out our unboxing video and comparison with the late iPhone 5! Let us know what you think of the new iPhone 5s in the comment below.

What is iCloud?

Ok, I have had WAY to many people ask me what iCloud is! I. Have. HAD IT! I'm just going to explain it all right here so that you can all know what it is and you can never forget, considering it's on the interweb.

Well, to start out, iCloud is basically a lot like DropBox or any other file storing applications out there. I was never really into all of that before because it required work and time. I had to research it, then I had to sign up, blah blah blah. But I have a friend who had the developer version of iOS 5, the operating system on your iPhone, iPod Touch, and your iPads. He kept talking about "iCloud," which sounded strange to me. So when they first announced the features, I swear I read the iCloud page at least 10 times until I had practically memorized it!

Apple made it super easy to change the settings in iCloud, start it up, and even retrieve documents from the cloud. To set it up, you simply go to your settings,
