It's an odd sensation, but it actually detracts from the experience when you first pick it up. We've praised the weighty feel of the iPhone in the past, lending it a premium feel in the face of toy-like phones.
Pros:
- Great design
- Larger screen
- Average battery life
- Quality camera
Cons:
- Expensive
- Poor maps
- Ageing OS

iPhone 5 iSight Camera Review
Upgrading from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 delivers a clear increase in image quality. Not only this but it is quicker in use, for example, HDR pictures are rendered much quicker. We recommend you use the HDR mode all the time as it generally produced much better results.
Pros:
- Large number of apps available
- Fantastic panoramas
- HDR mode delivers good results
- Size and weight
- Geotagging
- LCD screen
- White balance performance
- Easy to share pictures
Cons:
- Expensive
- No image stabilisation
- LED flash not great
- Very few camera settings available

Many Apple products are launched to something of a fanfare , and the iPhone 5 was no exception.

- 4G support (eventually)
- Bigger, more vibrant screen
- Strong performance
- Almost the same great camera as 4S

iPhone 5 review
So, what to make of this latest upgrade. There's no denying that the iPhone 5 is a lovely thing, and the best iPhone to date. It could well be Apple's best-selling unit ever. 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

"It's the same thing with a bigger screen." "It doesn't have NFC." "Android phones have had 4G LTE for ages." Immediately after Apple announced the iPhone 5 ($199), lots of people started questioning whether Apple had done enough to stay in the smartphone vanguard.
Pros:
- Amazingly thin and light
- Bigger more vibrant screen
- Fast 4G LTE speeds
- Very good battery life
- Improved camera
- Facebook integration and easy photo sharing
Cons:
- Half-baked Maps app
- Very few interface enhancements

Apple iPhone 5 Review
We're not surprised that this is the best iPhone to date. It's thin, light and has a roomy 4-inch Retina screen. But the operating system feels dated and there are some major issues. Plus, Apple has brought nothing major new to the show.
Pros:
- Sleek Apple design
- 4G support to come
- larger, vibrant display
- powerful performance
- nearly the same great snapper as on the 4S
- Siri proves her worth now
Cons:
- Steep price
- OS looks dated
- Maps limited and suffer from bugs
- Most apps have ugly borders
- Lack of memory card slot
- Fragile feel
