One feature is the Touch ID, which is a fingerprint identity sensor. Simply place your finger on the home button and it will unlock you iPhone. With the iPhone 5, it is easy to purchase things from the App Store as well as your favorite tunes.


The new M7 and A7 chips deliver a faster CPU and better graphics. The iPhone 5 is excellent for playing games. The M7 motion coprocessor allows you to do even more. There isn't much not to love about the latest edition of the iPhone.


The iSight camera is better than before. It provides wider aperture. Other features include burst mode and slow motion video. This 8 megapixel camera offers the best that technology has to offer.


With faster LTE wireless, you can do more. This phone supports more LTE bands. As a result, you get faster coverage, no matter where you are at.

Apple iPhone 5 (T-Mobile) Review

Finally, T-Mobile brings you an iPhone 5. And it's fast with great voice quality, as long as you're in a solid coverage area. 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. Revisiting the iPhone 5Apple's phones don't vary much from carrier to carrier, as Apple doesn't allow any bloatware or changes in design. So take a look at my reviews of the iPhone 5 for Verizon Wireless( at Amazon) and AT&T( at Amazon). T-Mobile gets the same metal-and-glass design, the same 4-inch screen, the same 8-megapixel camera, and most importantly, the same iOS 6 operating system, with its easy-to-use grid of icons and unbeatable array of apps. It's worth noting the iPhone's particular strengths and weaknesses versus newer, leading Android phones like the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S 4, though. On a broad level, iOS is very easy to use, but much less customizable than Androi...
Pros:
  • Relatively inexpensive
  • Speedy
  • Supports HD Voice
Cons:
  • Limited network coverage in some parts of the U.S

Review: With the iPhone 5S, Apple lays groundwork for a brighter future

Every year since 2008, Apple has released new flagship iPhones in a predictable cadence: on even years we get a new external design; on odd years we get a refinement of the previous year's design with upgraded insides and new hardware features.
Pros:
  • The iPhone 5 design is still sturdy and attractive
  • and "space gray" should hold up better to scuffs than last year's black model
  • Excellent performance
  • Good camera with improved low-light performance
  • though in low light especially some Lumia phones can best it
  • Lovely screen
  • even if some others...
Cons:
  • The fingerprint sensor is imperfect as a standalone authentication tool
  • and Apple doesn't (yet?) support two-factor authentication
  • Dual-band 802.11n and 100Mbps LTE aren't bad at all in the here-and-now
  • but they might be feeling a little dated by the time your two-year contract is up
  • Developers...
