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.

Faulty battery

Battery would not hold a charge. When I called to send it back to have it replaced I learned that I could not return the product without the original packaging, which we no longer had. This was a refurbished product that came in a small cardboard box - there was no special packaging.
Pros:
  • The phone's appearance was good
Cons:
  • The battery did not work and this was confirmed by the Apple Store diagnostics
  • Test your products before you sell them and you would know it was not working

With the iPhone 5, Apple has done everything it needs to on paper: it's bigger, lighter, and faster. But not by much: it still feels like the iPhone 4 and 4S, and while the 4G connection is a welcome addition, it does little to help with the poor battery life and call quality.
Pros:
  • The big news with the iPhone 5 is the new display: for the first time, Apple's jumped from the traditional 3.5-inch panel
  • It's a welcome move: the longer 4-inch 1136x640 display is as sharp as the original Retina Display, with great viewing angles and print-like detail.
Cons:
  • It's hard to find faults with the iPhone 5 hardware: it's refined, and packed with bleeding edge tech
  • Some people might grumble at the new Lightning port, but Apple had to draw a line in the sand at some point to keep making the iPhone thinner: Apple's AirPlay wireless streaming set up should more...

Apple iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 surpasses its predecessors in virtually every aspect, and it is without a doubt the best offering from Apple so far. Despite the oversight with regards to the maps, it isn't quite the off-putting flaw that makes the iPhone 5 any less of a beast (especially since it can be rectified).
Pros:
  • + A speedier and smoother experience
  • + Improved battery life
Cons:
  • - Horrible built-in mapping solution
  • - Lack of innovative features on the OS

Looks good for now

The iPhone 5 is great and all for the average businessman or high-end job holder, but my biggest worry is the 4G-LTE. It may be RIDICULOUSLY fast right now, but that's because not too many people are using it; give it a year or so, and the 4G-LTE hype will die down and carriers will soon have to...
Pros:
  • picture quality
  • easy to use
  • helps organize my tasks easily
Cons:
  • not too durable

Ok for men

Bought this for my wife but found that she would have to have arms like a Russian shot putter to take up the slack in the strap even on the smallest adjustment, shame as it looks really good quality.
Pros:
  • Comfortable
  • takes an iPhone5 with a slim case fitted
  • Could do with somewhere to hold excess headphone cable

Iphone 5- It's OK, certainly better out there for the same price

I have experienced this phone previously to owning my current phone (Samsung galaxy s4). Personally I think the galaxy is 1000x's better than the Iphone, and because of it I will never change back.
Pros:
  • Feels good in the hand
  • Fast and easy to use UI
Cons:
  • Poor build quality
  • OS is very limited
  • Not many cool features
  • Overheats easily
  • Sudden glitches
  • Expensive for what you get
