..or at least that's what Apple thinks.
Look at these spec's for iPhone 5s and tell me if you don't agree with me.
I mean where is the upgrade part?
Apple, have you even seen the specs on other phones in the market? When even a Windows phone is beating an iPhone, I think it says something about the company's direction and their "innovation". And I am sure there will still be a few brainwashed fanbois who'd like to tell me that iphone is (still) the king! Jeez!

First of all, know that I prefer Android over iPhone because of iPhone's ridiculous limitations. However, iPhone 5s is by no means underpowered. Sure, its 1136x640 is vastly outdated, but its CPU and GPU are way more powerful than numbers suggest. Despite not being quad-core, the 5s's benchmark performance is on par with the Galaxy S4, sometimes even slightly better. I don't even want to talk about real life performance, where iPhone was significantly ahead before Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (now the difference is significantly smaller, I can confirm that as I have a Galaxy Note 3). About the screen, the resolution is definitely outdated, but please don't bring up screen size as an argument. Not everyone wants a 5-inch phone that can barely be used in one hand. I don't have small hands so using my Note 3 is not much of a problem, but people with smaller hands that want a high-end phone currently have only two choices: the 4-inch iPhone 5s and the 4.5" Sony Xperia ZR (I'm not counting the 4.3" Motorola DROID Mini as it is US-only). So, although I'm an Android fan like you, I must object to your statement of iPhone having old specs just because it isn't quad-core, doesn't have 2GB RAM and is clocked at a "meager" 1.3GHz.
