The countdown to the press event where Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the new iPhone 5 had Apple fan(atic)s like myself waiting on pins and needles to find out what amazing, revolutionary and insanely great features we would be offered with the new model.

4G LTE; Larger display; Faster; Thinner

Back surface easily scuffed

People just have a wrong impression about apple products, plz dont make up your mind before using one. And about the price, even samsung, sony, htc flagship devices are launched at no less then 40k , so please dont complain.

Simple UI; Very good camera; Very handy; Superb build; Smooth OS

No card slot; Ull dislike it anyway if you have made up your mind

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...

I purchased this item believing it to be a new, unopened, factory unlocked Apple iPhone 5. Upon receiving the item I inspected the box and found it to have typographical errors, the colors were off, and the serial information was displayed in a format uncharacteristic of Apple's original packaging.

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).

+ A speedier and smoother experience; + Improved battery life

- Horrible built-in mapping solution; - Lack of innovative features on the OS

The best iPhone yet - but given the power of the competition and the high price, not the best smartphone.

Great design, Larger screen, Quality camera, It's quite hard to dislike an iPhone, no matter whether you love or disdain Apple's ethos; It's just so simple, with a quality screen and a real effort made into the design; And it's fair to say, rather obviously, that this is the best iPhone ever made.

High price; Poor maps; Ageing OS; The iPhone 5 isn't without its faults though – it's a handset that suffers from an ageing OS that doesn't look overly different from when it was launched five and a half years ago.

When we review a product, we're usually given a sample by the manufacturer that's been hand-picked just for us to test. The hardware has been examined for defects, every feature has been fully vetted and scrutinized, and the software has been triple-checked.

Elongated display provides easy access to more apps, and makes for pleasant, un-letterboxed widescreen viewing; Lots of iPhone 5-ready apps to choose from already; Apple-engineered A6 processor is wicked-fast.

Anodized aluminum rear plate, particularly in black, has a reported propensity for scratches; Video recording picks up a surprising amount of audio interference, even in a quiet room; Updates, while all worthwhile and technologically impressive, won't make your jaw drop with awe

I really think they should keep selling the the regular 5 16gb white n black. I bought green 5c and its the same stuff but the phones colors are so bright and i am going to return it because i prefer the 5 or 5s. This phone is way too fragile.

It's not like Apple has reinvented the wheel completely with the new iPhone. The sophistication and elegance that embodies the device is every bit as evident as the previous additions. But the overall finesse has definitely been taken up a notch or two with the slightly new design.

Using Iphone 5 was always my dream. This came true when my brother gifted me on my birthday. My joy knew no bounds. I have been using it now more than two years and it haven't given me any sort of trouble. As we all know its one of the best phone with maximum features.
