The Apple iPhone 5 16GB is one of the best phones ever. It can do just about anything. Apple designers have found ways to add more features than ever before. The features are useful and Apple has delivered the things that users want.


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. The iPhone connects to more networks around the world than before. It features a dual-band 802.11n. This allows users to view content and download faster than ever before.


iOS 7 puts to use the best technologies of the iPhone. There is a 64 bit A7 chip and much more. Other outstanding features include Control Center and AirDrop.


Only the iPhone offers a Retina display. The display on the iPhone is so high that the individual pixels can't be distinguished with the eye. Images are clear and beautiful. Once you have the Retina display, you won't want anything else.


The iPhone 5 offers longer battery life. This will allow you to use your phone more often. It is hard to believe that a powerful battery fits into such a small phone. The iPhone 5 offers many ways to be entertained. It is perfect for any vacation. In the App Store, you will find over 800,000 apps. They improve your work performance and offer many options for entertainment.


The iPhone 5 was replaced in 2016 by Apple's upgraded 4-inch phone called iPhone SE.

Apple iPhone 5 review: Finally, the iPhone we've always wanted

The iPhone 5 completely rebuilds the iPhone on a framework of new features and design, addressing its major previous shortcomings. It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe. Editors' note (September 19, 2014): The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now the flagship phones in Apple's 2014-2015 product line. The 2012 iPhone 5 reviewed here is no longer sold, but the 2013 iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C remain on sale at reduced prices. The 5C is basically the iPhone 5 in a plastic body, but -- as of September 2014 -- is now only sold in an 8GB capacity.
Pros:
  • The iPhone 5 adds everything we wanted in the iPhone 4S: 4G LTE, a longer, larger screen, free turn-by-turn navigation, and a faster A6 processor
  • Plus, its top-to-bottom redesign is sharp, slim, and feather-light.
Cons:
  • Apple Maps feels unfinished and buggy
  • Sprint and Verizon models can't use voice and data simultaneously. The smaller connector renders current accessories unusable without an adapter. There's no NFC, and the screen size pales in comparison to jumbo Android models.

iPhone 5C vs iPhone 5 head to head

With Apple discontinuing the iPhone 5 following the launch of the iPhone 5C, we envision a sea of confused owners of Apple's last generation iPhone wondering whether it's worth upgrading to the repackaged iPhone 5C, which swaps out the high-end metal casing of the iPhone 5 for a colourful, plastic...

Apple iPhone 5s

When it comes to the iPhone, every review since the 3G has exclaimed one thing: this is the best iPhone yet. And it should go without saying that enough changes and improvements have been made so that the newest models is, in fact, the best.
Pros:
  • Blazing fast
  • Excellent hardware (camera, speaker, overall form)
  • Solid call quality and download speeds
  • Gorgeous display
  • OS far more focused on apps
Cons:
  • Fingerprint scanner isn't as good as it should be
  • Major OS changes are often decent, more often abysmal
  • Battery life isn't competitive with top Android phones
  • Not the best phone on the market after launch
