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

Bought his for my daughter she is very happy with it , Restored very well looks like new and works great Only reason for a 4 star is the fact that it was still very Very expensive for what it is, and there are as good products out there if you are not totally in love with Iphones I would not...

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

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.

The Best Cellphone.

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.

Double the speed, double the graphics, improved battery; Bigger size, thinner, and lighter

Lightning connector adaptors; Secondary Camera; Forget about Siri

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.

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
