Feels like a good phone

I bought this a few days back. My daughter has an iPhone 7 but it's just a bit big for me, so I decided to buy this. It's an excellent phone. It charges like lightening. The apps and features are excellent. The sound and visuals are crisp. It feels like this phone will be around for a while.

Poor battery, helpful seller

Battery life dropped within a couple of weeks use. To their credit, the seller was willing to replace the battery if I sent it in. However, I dropped it on the sidewalk and broke the screen, so I upgraded.

Apple iPhone 5

Initially, I did not think that the Apple iPhone 5 looked like that much of an improvement from my current phone (which was simply a lower version of the iPhone). However, upon purchasing the product with my upgrade, I found that Apple 's newest smartphone was well worth my money.

Review: How does Apple's new iPhone 5s perform as a camera?

The iPhone 5s features a very good camera that’s easy to use and delivers strong results with little user intervention. It’s a logical extension of the Apple design philosophy, with evolutionary performance increases and feature extensions. iPhone photographers looking to trade up will find much to like in the 5s, but it’s not likely to lure users who prefer larger screens or are committed to other mobile operating systems.
Pros:
  • Good exposure across a range of situations
  • Good image detail, restrained noise reduction
  • Pleasing color rendition
  • Good flash with notably accurate color
  • Very responsive operation, negligible shutter lag
  • Very fast shot-to-shot time, 10 fps continuous burst
  • Very easy-to-use camera app
  • Panorama mode better than most
  • Fun slow motion video capture
  • Effective HDR mode with very little ghosting
  • Digital video stabilization works relatively well
  • Well-designed gallery (Photos) app
Cons:
  • Less detail in good light than some higher-res sensors
  • Minimal manual control in camera app
  • Photographic ergonomics not the best
  • Finicky focus confirmation can lead to missed focus
  • Smallish screen
  • No optical image stabilization
  • No dedicated, two-stage shutter button
  • Underexposed video in very low-light conditions
  • Filter images only exportable at low resolution

Apple iPhone 5 Review

We have reviewed or used every single iPhone that was ever designed/built and to be honest the iPhone 5 was less exciting than we had expected due to the hype surrounding the handset.

There are no two ways about it - the iPhone 5 is perhaps the best phone around for those who are looking for the perfect balance of style and substance. It looks gorgeous and thanks to iOS's app treasury lets you do just about everything from playing high end games to editing high definition video...

Apple iPhone 5

Love it or hate it, Apple's iPhone generates an extraordinary amount of hype that no other smartphone can match. In its latest iteration of arguably the world's most popular smartphone, Apple has equipped the iPhone 5 with a larger display, upgraded internals and 4G network connectivity.
Pros:
  • Super thin and light design
  • Excellent 4in display
  • Outstanding camera
Cons:
  • Scratches and chips easily
  • Poor battery life
  • Extra screen size isn't always utilised

Apple iPhone 5 (16GB/32GB/64GB)

As we noted early in this review, it's now a truism that the latest iPhone is the best ever-a claim that Apple has also made with every generation of iPods, but not always achieved.
Pros:
  • Apple's fastest and most capable iPhone yet
  • The first iPhone to include a 4" screen, LTE cellular support, and two truly impressive cameras
  • Improved screen and camera color accuracy, plus dramatically improved low light camera performance.
Cons:
  • Battery performance too often falls below Apple's best case estimates, particularly for cellular calling and data. LTE service remains inconsistent between neighborhoods, cities, and countries, with widely varying data speeds and availability
  • some users will see no cellular speed improvements over...

Review: Apple iPhone 5

It's now been quite some time since an iPhone last graced the peak of the PC & Tech Authority A-List. For almost two years Samsung's and HTC's handsets have dominated, with the 4S not doing much to further Apple's cause.

Apple iPhone 5

A taller screen and a sumptuous redesign for the iconic smartphone, but Apple's latest iPhone falls tantalisingly short of a place on our A-List
