[Jacob Black]

Valentine’s Day is this Tuesday – and many of you may be thinking to gift either the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7 Plus. But, Apple thinks the best gift this Valentine’s Day is the iPhone 5s. Well, don’t be surprised to see to the full page ad in one of the leading news dailies this morning, where the centre of attraction is the now-dated iPhone 5s.

So, what’s the deal? Apple has partnered with HDFC Bank to provide cashback offers on purchase of the iPhone 5s. The company is offering a cashback of up to Rs 6,000. The special offer is valid on all HDFC Bank Debit and Credit cards. According to the terms and conditions, the cashback will be credited to a customer’s accounts on or before 90 days of the purchase. The offer is live and will be valid till February 14, 2017.

The iPhone 5s is the cheapest model and thus, it’s going to be a tempting deal. For Rs 18,994, you’re getting the iPhone, not any smartphone. But it’s far from perfect. Here are some of the reasons why you should avoid getting the iPhone 5s right now.

First and foremost, the 16GB iPhone 5s doesn’t make sense, given the little space you are getting. Apps, games movies, photos and videos will mean you’ll run out of space pretty soon. Since Apple doesn’t allow users to expand the internal memory, it’s going to be a big problem.
