Some of the 'old' iPhone 5 cases work with the 5S just fine, some don't.

With the iPhone 5S now available, the onslaught of new cases for it is in full swing. True, many of the “old” iPhone 5 cases (several of which are still in this round up) fit the new iPhone 5S just fine because the iPhone 5’s design is very close to the iPhone 5S’.
However, there are two key differences. First, the 5S has a fingerprint sensor, which means any iPhone 5 case that covers the home button technically isn’t compatible with the iPhone 5S (you can, of course, not use the fingerprint sensor, but if you want to, you don’t want anything covering the home button). Many “tough” cases are affected by the addition of the fingerprint sensor.
Second, Apple has added an additional LED flash to the 5’s back camera. As long as the hole on the back of an iPhone 5 case is big enough to accommodate the dual flashes, it should be compatible. But it’s important to note that the ring around the camera also needs to be black. Word is that if it’s another color, it could confuse the flash’s sensor, which is designed to optimize the color of the flash to bring out the best skin tones in your subjects.

Finding the right foundation is something everyone spends a huge part of their adult life doing. It is, after all, the face we wear to the outside world, and for some of us it is the one that stays on longer than even our real complexion. Choosing a foundation is really about trial and error. The ones I look at and are used to, the ones I recommend and like, or the ones your best friend swears by, is nothing more than something new for you to try. Because at the end of the day, we all have different needs, lead different lives and face different environments.
Hand creams are a life saver off sorts. If it weren’t for them we would have rough, chapped hands from all the abuse our hands are subjected to. I for one go through tubes of hand cream almost weekly because I keep washing my hands. Whenever I get on the subway, shake a bunch of hands or get through handling cash, I was my hands. Washing hands are one of the greatest abuses a hand can be put through because of the soaps that we use to remove the bacteria it comes in contact with.

One of the highlights of iOS 7, apart from its redesign, would be an increased in security namely through the Activation Lock feature which would require the user to enter a password if they wish to wipe the phone, ultimately deterring thieves from stealing the phone and reselling it. The feature joins Find My iPhone in adding to the list of security features of the iPhone, but unfortunately thanks to a loophole in Siri, Find My iPhone can actually be disabled through it.
It has been discovered that even if you were to put a passcode lock on your iPhone, by enabling Siri, you will be able to enable Airplane Mode which would ultimately disable Find My iPhone. This isn’t so much a bug but more of an oversight especially since Siri has now been given more functionality with the update. We expect Apple will want to swiftly address this issue if they hope that the new iOS 7 update will be a secure one. In any case there’s still the Activation Lock feature that thieves need to go through if they wish to completely wipe the device and resell it, but for now they are still able to disable Find My iPhone which would make it harder for them to be tracked down.
