Apple iPhone 5 Review

The Apple iPhone 5 is the best iPhone in the market, but that really isn't a surprise, is it? But then again, for a phone that costs Rs. 45,500, it better justify the expense. The iPhone 5 is an incremental update over the 4S, but the best phone incrementally improved is equal to a huge improvement.
Pros:
  • Blazing fast performance
  • Much improved display
  • Widescreen aspect ratio brilliant for multimedia
  • Lighter than the iPhone 4S
  • Excellent build quality
  • Camera is improved over the 4S
  • Doesn't heat up like the 4S
  • Surprisingly good battery life
Cons:
  • Costs a lot of money
  • Nano SIM is a pain to procure
  • The OS just looks plain dated
  • Apple has messed up the Maps
  • big time

iPhone 5 review

The iPhone 5 is more than just Apple's latest high-end smartphone. In a world of huge slabs of phone the iPhone's thin profile makes it different to the Galaxy S4 , Sony Xperia Z , HTC One , BlackBerry Z10 , Nokia Lumia 925 and the rest of the high-end phone lineup.

Apple iPhone 5 Review: In Depth

The iPhone 5 is an example of fastidious design, creating (in our opinion), the best looking phone money can buy. It's incredibly powerful and quick to use, has a beautiful screen for browsing the web, watching movies and playing games and the camera is excellent.
Pros:
  • Gorgeous design
  • premium feel
  • Bigger screen
  • with improved colours
  • 4G
  • Improved camera with Panorama
  • Fast
Cons:
  • Not as comfortable to hold
  • 4G only works on EE
  • Maps has a lot of errors
  • UI lacks features of rivals

Crappy battery, bad phone

My iphone 5 started giving me battery issues such as: a) it will turn off if you go outside and the weather is cold; b) battery life is way shorter than what's described; c) my phone is not even 2 years old and the battery does not hold charge (I never dropped or wet this phone).
Pros:
  • Small size
Cons:
  • Horrible customer support

I love this phone. It does everything I want and almost nothing I don't want. The only slight gripe is the fact that not all settings are accessible without Jailbreaking (which I don't want to risk).

Enhanced, refined and more powerful than ever, but mapping issues keep the iPhone 5 off the top spot
Pros:
  • Slickest smartphone out there
  • Gorgeous 16:9 Retina screen
  • Disconcertingly thin and light
Cons:
  • Old accessories will need an adapter
  • You'll want to upgrade the Earpods
  • Apple Maps can get lost

  • Finishing
  • High quality display
  • Exemplary responsiveness
  • Intuitive interface
  • Photo rendering
  • Sound quality
Cons:
  • Maps
  • Battery life
  • Few options for customising the interface
