Apple iPhone 5s Connectivity and Additional Features

Connectivity and Additional Features

The iPhone 5s supported a wide range of network technologies, including GSM, CDMA, HSPA, EVDO, and LTE, with multiple band capabilities, ensuring global usability. Its connectivity suite included Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS with GLONASS, although it notably lacked NFC and radio functionality. Apple's introduction of the Lightning port was a subtle move towards standardizing connectors across its device lineup.

In terms of audio, the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and 16-bit/44.1kHz audio support met expected standards of music playback at the time. The loudspeaker performance was acceptable, with tested voice and noise measurements reflecting good call and media experiences.
