People who used Orchard to buy an iPhone 5s say...
-
Ordered an iPhone 5S. Paid a fair price for a 'like new' phone. The order arrived in two business days. The phone was pristine and worked perfectly. I'm a satisfied customer who doesn't want to pay the mobile company or the new phone premium and will likely give Orchard more business. -
The Apple experience at half the price! I will never buy an iPhone anywhere else again.
My iPhone 5s arrived from Orchard last week, and the experience was fantastic! My phone looks great and works perfectly.
Everything went according to plan; the shipping, tracking, packaging, condition of my phone, carrier set-up and level of support all met or exceeded my expectations.
The bottom line: buy your iPhone from Orchard, it just makes sense! -
My son just turned 14 years old and saved up all of his money to buy an iPhone 5s. He decided on a used unlocked phone to save money, but to be honest, the phone he bought from Orchard is perfect and looks and works like brand new. We paid the extra $40 for a one year warranty which is all you can ask for.
He is so happy with his choice. I added him onto my existing cell phone plan and we got a great deal. Once we ordered the phone it was delivered in a day and a half. Prior to buying it we made email inquiries and they were answered quickly and provided helpful info. I loved that we didn't have to use kijiji or online ads. This is a safe, credible way of buying a used phone is perfect condition. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Orchard. -
I had a great experience buying a used iphone 5s through Orchard. I bought the phone in person at their College street location and was well looked after. The phone is in good working condition; it was exactly as described on-line. I asked a lot of questions and everything was politely answered to my satisfaction. I highly recommend that if you are looking to buy a used phone, save yourself the hassle of risking it by buying on kijiji or craigslist and buy through Orchard. Through Kijiji I almost bought a used iphone 5s that was locked to iCloud. Fortunately, I called the Apple store first and found out this information, but I wasted a lot of time trying to save a few dollars. In sum, I highly recommend Orchard. Great and efficient service.

I bought an iPhone 5s for my son and had a great experience. The ordering process was easy and delivery was prompt. The iPhone was listed as "like new" and it is in near perfect condition. I could have bought one off Kijiji but you never know what you are going to get. I highly recommend Orchard.

iPhone 5s Overview
Even though the iPhone 5s is similar in so many ways to the earlier iPhone 5, it is also better in many ways that really count. The iPhone 5s is the first to feature Touch ID, Apple's fingerprint recognition system for enhanced security and effortless unlocking. Its camera is updated with a larger aperture and dual-LED flash optimized for different color temperatures.
All the new bells and whistles on the iPhone 5s are powered by the A7 dual-core processor and the M7 motion co-processor. The A7 is a monster of a processor that makes the iPhone 5s run smoothly and enables things like Touch ID, Burst Mode, Auto HDR, dynamic exposure, and more.
The iPhone 5s is great for graphics-heavy apps and taking capturing better photos in more situations. With all these powerful features, the iPhone 5s is still able to get 10 hours of battery life. Recently discontinued from production, the iPhone 5s remains one of the greatest iPhones ever built.

Before buying a used iPhone 5s
The iPhone 5s is close to being as good a phone as it was when it was first manufactured. In many ways, it's even better. With all of the features packed into its 4-inch frame, most people would be served well buying any used iPhone 5s for sale. Unless you're dead set on having a larger screen size, that is.
What makes a used iPhone 5s so great?
1. It's still powerful enough to do just about anything
Even though it might not be brand new, the iPhone 5s runs on Apple's A7 chip, which is a 64-bit processor.
This makes the iPhone 5s powerful enough to handle most things you throw its way. Not only that, but more
and more iOS developers have been making apps for phones with a 64-bit processor. Opting for older models,
like the iPhone 5, means you might lose out on some games or other apps that aren't built for the older
32-bit processor it has. The term to use is "future proof" and in terms of future compatibility, you
can't go wrong with a used iPhone 5s— all thanks to that A7 chip.
2. It's basically like buying an iPhone on sale
In the secondhand market, the used iPhone 5s is in very high demand. Part of this is how cheaply you can buy an
iPhone 5s for now. You can find a Sprint iPhone 5s for $165, a Verizon iPhone 5s for $200, a AT&T iPhone 5s for
$190, or an unlocked iPhone 5s for $220. If you're on a budget but you want a pristine-looking Like New iPhone
5s with tons of storage, you can expect to pay less than $345. No matter how you think about it, that is a good
deal.
3. It's compact enough to use with 1 hand
If you want to buy a small-sized smartphone, the iPhone 5s is the most sensible deal right now. Since Apple has
moved to larger screens with the newer iPhone 6 and 6s series, it's almost impossible to get a premium smartphone
with a 4 inch size. Critics agree that the iPhone 5s is one of the last good small phones you can buy in the United
States.
But the iPhone 5s might not be enough if...
1. You want something lightning fast
With any iPhone that is a few years old, you'll have to be ready for a few compromises. Sure, the iPhone 5s will
still perform great but it isn't as fast and peppy as the newer iPhone 6s. If you're a power user, you might
find that the amount of RAM in the iPhone 5s isn't enough for browsing several tabs and juggling a few Facebook
Messenger conversations.
2. You want a big screen to play games or watch movies
This one is pretty self-explanatory. The iPhone 5s is a modest 4 inches, which just might not be enough if you're an
avid gamer or you plan to watch videos on your phone. If you find yourself dazzled by the big, bright display of the bigger
iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, an iPhone 5s might be a better option for someone else.
