Does iphone 5s/c need syncing to computer?

Well the reason i've said 5s/c is because they both are shipped with ios7. Problem is, my computer is broken, won't even come on. And i've ordered a 5s and with the other iphones you had to plug it into a computer for it to come on? Do you still need to?

Technically no, but I would have a computer handy just in case as well as for storage of apps, media, backups etc

Not now a computer is no longer needed to own the iPhone as all the syncing can be done with the phone and the iCloud app.

  • Twitter on computer not syncing with iPhone? So I practically never go on my Twitter on my laptop, and when I went on today, there was nothing on it.
