Apple iPhone 5 Review
We have reviewed or used every single iPhone that was ever designed/built and to be honest the iPhone 5 was less exciting than we had expected due to the hype surrounding the handset.
There are no two ways about it - the iPhone 5 is perhaps the best phone around for those who are looking for the perfect balance of style and substance. It looks gorgeous and thanks to iOS's app treasury lets you do just about everything from playing high end games to editing high definition video...
Review: How does Apple's new iPhone 5s perform as a camera?
The iPhone 5s features a very good camera that’s easy to use and delivers strong results with little user intervention. It’s a logical extension of the Apple design philosophy, with evolutionary performance increases and feature extensions. iPhone photographers looking to trade up will find much to like in the 5s, but it’s not likely to lure users who prefer larger screens or are committed to other mobile operating systems.- Good exposure across a range of situations
- Good image detail, restrained noise reduction
- Pleasing color rendition
- Good flash with notably accurate color
- Very responsive operation, negligible shutter lag
- Very fast shot-to-shot time, 10 fps continuous burst
- Very easy-to-use camera app
- Panorama mode better than most
- Fun slow motion video capture
- Effective HDR mode with very little ghosting
- Digital video stabilization works relatively well
- Well-designed gallery (Photos) app
- Less detail in good light than some higher-res sensors
- Minimal manual control in camera app
- Photographic ergonomics not the best
- Finicky focus confirmation can lead to missed focus
- Smallish screen
- No optical image stabilization
- No dedicated, two-stage shutter button
- Underexposed video in very low-light conditions
- Filter images only exportable at low resolution
iPhone 5 review
Many Apple products are launched to something of a fanfare , and the iPhone 5 was no exception. While it's easy to get carried away in the queues , high-fiving Apple store staff , and endless reports, rumours, and rapid-fire reviews: it's worth taking a deep breath, standing back, and taking a good...- Lighter and slimmer design
- improved camera
- faster connectivity (even on 3G)
- faster processor
- 4-in screen is amazing for movies
- Expensive
- Lightning port is annoying and replacement accessories are also expensive
- no 4G LTE yet in the UK
- 4-in screen isn't incredibly different from 3.5-in display on iPhone 4S
Apple iPhone 5 in-depth review -
The response to Apple's huge iPhone 5 launch was more mixed than a Fatboy Slim album. Many applauded Apple on creating what was sure to be the best iPhone yet, complete with larger screen and a new slimline design.- Typically slick Apple design
- 4G support (eventually)
- Bigger, more vibrant screen
- Strong performance
- Almost the same great camera as 4S
- Siri is actually useful now
- Eye-wateringly expensive
- iOS 6 showing its age
- Maps is buggy and limited
- Ugly borders around most apps
- No memory card slot
- Still feels fragile
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 –...- Bigger screen
- 4G capability
- Better front-facing camera
- No iP5-specific iOS 6 features
- Battery life still not great
- Prefer the old Maps design
Apple iPhone 5 (Verizon Wireless)
"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.- Amazingly thin and light
- Bigger more vibrant screen
- Fast 4G LTE speeds
- Very good battery life
- Improved camera
- Facebook integration and easy photo sharing
- Half-baked Maps app
- Very few interface enhancements

- Lightning connector adapter MIA

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.- 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
- Steep price
- OS looks dated
- Maps limited and suffer from bugs
- Most apps have ugly borders
- Lack of memory card slot
- Fragile feel
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.- Larger screen with increased resolution
- Extremely quick
- Winning redesign makes for a thinner
- lighter phone
- 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
