Apple iPhone 5 review Review
The iPhone 5 offers a thoroughly pleasant redesign with a taller display and a thinner, lighter frame. Fast and packing a great camera, the hardware is hard to fault, while iOS feels slick and offers loads of apps, even if Apple's new Maps software feels like a step backwards.
Pros:
- Larger screen with increased resolution
- Extremely quick
- Winning redesign makes for a thinner
- lighter phone
Cons:
- IOS 6 Maps app is a step backwards
- 4G won't work on all UK networks
- New connector means you'll need to buy an adaptor for current chargers and docks
- Very expensive

Apple iPhone 5 review
A taller screen and a sumptuous redesign for the iconic smartphone, but Apple's latest iPhone falls tantalisingly short of the A-List

Apple iPhone 5
If you're a fan of Apple's iPhone and iOS, we think you'll be pleased with the enhancements made to the iPhone design. The new aluminium and glass combination is lovely, the longer screen is a slight improvement and the new hardware delivers a seamless user experience, as always.
Pros:
- Same slick performance as with previous iPhones
- 4G is a welcome addition
- Longer display adds needed screen real estate
- Earpods are very comfortable
Cons:
- iOS is still mostly uncustomisable
- Design isn't as nice to hold as it is to look at
- No HDMI
- micro USB or memory expansion
- unless you pay for adapters
- No NFC

Apple iPhone 5 Camera Review
The iPhone 5 combines ease of use with excellent image quality that rivals the best of its conventional competition (ignoring the innovative Nokia 808 PureView for a moment). Anyone upgrading from the iPhone 4S will not see a huge difference in image quality, but the leap from earlier generation models is profound. The iPhone 5's camera is one of the best around, but manual control over white balance and exposure (via exposure compensation) would be the cherry on the cake.
Pros:
- Excellent resolution at low ISO sensitivity settings in good light
- Reliable metering and white balance in daylight
- Supremely easy to use Camera App
- Hardware shutter button (volume keys)
- Bright, contrasty, very high-resolution LCD screen
- Excellent built-in HDR and Panorama modes
- Effective touch-to-focus/AE and AF/AE lock options
Cons:
- Luminance noise visible in areas of plain tone even at ISO 50
- Lens prone to flare when bright lights are positioned at or just outside the edge of the frame
- Face detection a little hyperactive (sometimes finds faces that aren't there)
- High ISO output (ISO 1250-3200) uses pixel-binning, which sacrifices resolution for sensitivity

Apple iPhone 5 Review - Detailed Version
The anodised aluminium back - as opposed to glass - makes the iPhone 5 more durable. But in terms of aesthetics, I'd still prefer the glass finish over the new two-toned design. In case you're wondering, this is the same material you see on the Nokia N8. The 3.5 mm audio jack is now at the bottom.
Pros:
- Fluid UI
- Clean design
- Impressive camera
- Great sound quality
- Long battery life
- Excellent for gaming
- Rich App Store
Cons:
- Expensive
- A few apps run letterboxed
- Lacklustre maps
- Limited codec support
- Lacks FM Radio
- Can't share files over Bluetooth
- No mass storage mode

Clever little smart phone!
After faithfully sticking with my iPhone 4 for 2 years, I definitely knew that I was an apple convert. I loved my iPods and really thought long and hard about whether I should get an iPhone, I just thought that an iPod touch was just basically an iPhone that didn't text or call, but I was pleasantly...
Pros:
- great camera
- fantastic improvement for the iPhone
Cons:
- wifi is very problematic

iPhone 5 review
In the end what are we left with? A lighter, thinner, faster, taller, better-camera-wielding iPhone. When put like that it sounds like it should be marvellous. Though it is good, the truth is that the competition has caught up, and the competition isn't showing signs of slowing down.

Best Design Performance and Battery life Improvement but lacks customizatio
iPhone 5 Really is worth Upgrading from the previous Generation of iPhone like 4s or 4 as this comes with lot of internal and external changes such as new body design and a bigger display. HD Resolution, Better Processor and More Memory added makes iPhone feel better.

Apple iPhone 5 review
Apple has done a great job on the hardware overhaul to bring the thinnest, lightest iPhone yet, but there's a lack of any new 'wow' features, and the firm needs to do a quick fix-it job on Apple Maps.
Pros:
- Thin and light design
- larger 16:9 high-quality display
- 4G support
Cons:
- Google Maps removal
- no wow factor

Apple iPhone 5 (T-Mobile)
The iPhone 5 has finally come to T-Mobile, and if you're in the market for a smartphone from Apple, pay attention. T-Mobile's iPhone is the same iPhone 5 that you've seen elsewhere, with better voice quality at a lower price. That's a terrific combination for anyone currently shopping for an iPhone.
Pros:
- Relatively inexpensive
- Speedy
- Supports HD Voice
Cons:
- Limited network coverage in some parts of the U.S
