The Best Cellphone.

The iPhone 5 has finally come to T-Mobile, and if you're in the market for a smartphone from Apple, pay attention. T-Mobile's iPhone is the same iPhone 5 that you've seen elsewhere, with better voice quality at a lower price. That's a terrific combination for anyone currently shopping for an iPhone.

Relatively inexpensive; Speedy; Supports HD Voice

Limited network coverage in some parts of the U.S

Apple has done a great job on the hardware overhaul to bring the thinnest, lightest iPhone yet, but there's a lack of any new 'wow' features, and the firm needs to do a quick fix-it job on Apple Maps.

Thin and light design; larger 16:9 high-quality display; 4G support

Google Maps removal; no wow factor

It's an odd sensation, but it actually detracts from the experience when you first pick it up. We've praised the weighty feel of the iPhone in the past, lending it a premium feel in the face of toy-like phones.

Great design; Larger screen; Average battery life; Quality camera

Expensive; Poor maps; Ageing OS

The iPhone 5 is a foregone conclusion. With 2 million pre-orders made over the first 24 hours, estimates of 8 million units being sold over its first weekend and Apple's stock prices at a record high, the iPhone 5 is a success even before the first customer switches it on.

Larger 4 inch display; faster; thiner and lighter; LTE connectivity

No NFC; Lightning connector may not work with older docks

In the end what are we left with? A lighter, thinner, faster, taller, better-camera-wielding iPhone. When put like that it sounds like it should be marvellous. Though it is good, the truth is that the competition has caught up, and the competition isn't showing signs of slowing down.

A taller screen and a sumptuous redesign for the iconic smartphone, but Apple's latest iPhone falls tantalisingly short of a place on our A-List

Unlike some of the previous models that were released by Apple in the past few years, this new one actually brings several major changes to the table, including a larger...

Lacks NFC wireless technology for currently developing mobile payment systems; Comes with a new dock connector called Lightning that makes old docks and other accessories obsolete

If you're an iPhone user, you'll want to move on up to what is surely the classiest handset from Apple yet. Though the 4S still has lots to offer, thanks to the arrival of iOS 6, the iPhone 5 hardware is nevertheless spectacular and deeply seductive.

Apple's iPhone 5 is more eye-catching than ever before, and thanks to solid under the hood improvements, the new iPhone 5 makes for a much better upgrade than the previous 4S ( review ).

Premium pricetag; iOS appears long in the tooth in terms of its design; LTE supported by the device; but not yet by local networks; Can't expand upon internal storage
