Please note that this "CDMA" A1533 iPhone 5s model does not officially support LTE/4G connectivity, but it is compatible with both CDMA EV-DO and GSM and is intended for the mainland China market only on China Telecom's network.

Heralded as the "most forward-thinking smartphone in the world" at the time of its introduction, the iPhone 5s models, regardless of network compatibility, have a 4" (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch IPS LED-backlit 1136x640 native resolution (326 ppi) "retina display," dual cameras -- a rear 8 megapixel, 1080p "iSight" camera with 1.5 micron pixels, an f/2.2 aperture, a dual LED "True Tone" flash and more as well as a front 1.2 megapixel, 720p "FaceTime" camera.

The iPhone 5s is available in three metallic color options -- "space gray," which has a black glass front and a mostly medium toned "gunmetal" gray aluminum back; "gold," which has a white glass front and a mostly gold colored aluminum back; and "silver," which has a white glass front and a mostly silver colored aluminum back (gold color option discontinued September 9, 2015). Regardless of color, each includes a "Touch ID" fingerprint sensor embedded in the "home" button (which no longer has the traditional iPhone rounded square icon like earlier models).

This iPhone 5s model is powered by a 1.3 GHz 64-bit "Apple A7" processor and has 1 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB of flash storage (64 GB option discontinued September 9, 2014). It also supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, but does not officially support 4G/LTE (just like the A1528 China Unicom model), has a bottom-mounted headphone jack and uses the "Lightning" connector to hook up with a Mac, PC, dock, or power adapter.

Apple estimates that the iPhone 5s models provide "up to" 40 hours of audio playback, 10 hours of talk time on 3G, 8 hours of Internet use on 3G, 10 hours of Internet use on 4G/LTE (when applicable), 10 hours of Internet use on Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video playback and 250 hours of standby time.

In China, this "CDMA" A1533 iPhone 5s is available contract-free, but only intended for use on China Telecom's network. Originally, it was offered with 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB of storage, for RMB 5,288, RMB 6,088, and RMB 6,888, respectively. On September 9, 2014, Apple discontinued the 64 GB option and dropped the price of the 16 GB and 32 GB options to RMB 4,488 and RMB 4,888. On September 9, 2015, Apple dropped the price of the 16 GB and 32 GB options to RMB 3,288 and RMB 3,688. It was discontinued altogether on March 21, 2016.
