The new model is fast and apps are snappy, the camera is great, and LTE support -- assuming it's available in your area -- is a fantastic bonus. But is the iPhone 5 worth the price?

4-inch Retina Display; comfortable to hold; thin design makes one-handed use easy; fast; LTE; new sync/charge connector; looks sharp

Chamfered edges scratch easy for some users; no USB 3 syncing; Lightning connector means iPad owners get to carry two sync cables

Love it or hate it, Apple's iPhone generates an extraordinary amount of hype that no other smartphone can match. In its latest iteration of arguably the world's most popular smartphone, Apple has equipped the iPhone 5 with a larger display, upgraded internals and 4G network connectivity.

Super thin and light design; Excellent 4in display; Outstanding camera

Scratches and chips easily; Poor battery life; Extra screen size isn't always utilised

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.

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.

Fluid UI; Clean design; Impressive camera; Great sound quality; Long battery life; Excellent for gaming; Rich App Store

Expensive; A few apps run letterboxed; Lacklustre maps; Limited codec support; Lacks FM Radio; Can't share files over Bluetooth; No mass storage mode

The Apple iPhone 5 which is the latest and greatest iPhone ever made by the Cupertino based company is here.The iPhone 5 sports an all new design which reminds us of the first iPhone which had a metallic back. The iPhone 5 also features a lot of new components on the inside.

Stunning hardware design; Improved camera; New Ear pods ear phones; Above average battery life; 2G(GPRS,EDGE) ; 3G(HSPA,HSPA+) and 4G LTE data supported

Taller screen might be a bit uncomfortable for a few; iOS is starting to look dated; Maps and Navigation is of very poor quality outside the US; New nano SIM card is not available widely

The iPhone 5 is a complete smartphone and definitely a very charming and resourceful one. Apple has made this device keeping minute details in mind. But as we said above, it has its disadvantages too.

Great build; Great display; Quick charging; Fast processor

WiFi issues; Below expected camera quality; Heating issues
