what does "S" mean in iphone 5s?

On the iPhone 4s, the 's' stands for Siri because of the addition of Siri.

On the iPhone 5s, the 's' stands for Security because of the Touch ID addition..

Apple has never said that it means anything specific.

too many people say that S stands for security cuz they added in the iphone the newly finger print pass to secure the iphone of the owner so that no one could open it unless the owner's finger print

Yeah, right.

I thought it just meant "not an iPhone 5 nor 5c". Honestly, people read all sorts of things into Apple device names, but Apple almost never says anything official about it, so nobody really knows.

Agreed.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active and, realizing that both Samsung and Apple use the letter'S' in their models names, decided to find out what it means on my Samsung. According to them, (as cheesy as it sounds,) it stood for 'Super Smart' back in 2011 and the name stuck since. Now, using logic, since the Samsung is a 'learn it or lose out' platform, one would have to be smart to use a super smart device. Since the iPhone is capable of the same thing but has been 'dumbed down' so that anyone can use it, the letter 'S' obviously stands for 'Super Dumb'. See, everyone's kid owns an iPhone but how many kids own a Samsung Galaxy? Make sense now?
