At the time of my iPhone 5s purchase, I was really confused which color I should go for. Gold was hard to find, Silver isn’t really my thing, and Space Gray I thought would look exactly similar to the Black & Slate iPhone 5 that I already had for over a year. But when I unboxed my Space Gray iPhone 5, I was surprised at how different and appealing the new gray shade was.
iOS 7.0.2 download links have just gone live for iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4, iPad and iPod touches. As with any new release of iOS, the latest and greatest has had its fair share of teething issues, and while we've not quite seen a repeat of last year's iOS 6 Maps shit-storm, the security lapses that have manifested through the new-look lock screen have not made for particularly pleasant reading.

As well as being the very first smartphone on the market packing a 64-bit processor, Apple's iPhone 5s also features an M7 motion coprocessor, allowing processes to be more efficiently managed while also preserving those essential droplets of battery life. But while these new hardware upgrades are great and all, their powers can only be fully recognized once developers adapt their apps to take advantage of them, and Strava Run, the socially-swayed training app, is the first such utility to make use of the Cupertino's new coprocessor.
The iPhone 5s is in short supply right now, with Apple struggling currently to ship enough units to meet the insatiable demand. But if you want the look of the Cupertino's latest and greatest handset without paying the hefty sums Apple is charging, you may be interested in the much cheaper option of an "Upgrade Kit," which essentially allows you to turn your iPhone 5 into an "iPhone 5s" of any color variant.
