  • Bigger, more vibrant screen
  • Strong performance
  • Almost the same great camera as 4S
  • Siri is actually useful now
Cons:
  • Eye-wateringly expensive
  • iOS 6 showing its age
  • Maps is buggy and limited
  • Ugly borders around most apps
  • No memory card slot
  • Still feels fragile

But a lot has changed in a year, and the current crop of Android superphones – and the incoming Windows Phone 8 handsets –...
Pros:
  • Bigger screen
  • 4G capability
  • Better front-facing camera
Cons:
  • No iP5-specific iOS 6 features
  • Battery life still not great
  • Prefer the old Maps design
