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.

I initially switched to the Galaxy S4 from the iPhone 4S and hated the Galaxy. It felt cheap, and it just plain took too long to get everything working the way I wanted. The iPhone is just such a great, easy to use right out of the box phone, especially if you already have itunes.

This is a great phone to have with lots of important and critical improvements to the iPhone 4S when it comes to size, weight and performance. So it is currently a top tier smartphone with competition. The question people ask, is whether they should upgrade their phones to it or not.
