just got the 5S tonight. It's performing pretty well so far. I do notice some glitching us on the screen, but I guess I'll just have to learn how to swipe differently or something. Dictation does seem a lot quicker. It also seems to get more things correctly. I do notice that if I have speakers plugged in, that seems to mess up the dictation. Is this normal on other iPhones, or is this unique to the 5S. Thanks,
