Apple iPhone 5 Review
We're not surprised that this is the best iPhone to date. It's thin, light and has a roomy 4-inch Retina screen. But the operating system feels dated and there are some major issues. Plus, Apple has brought nothing major new to the show.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- Steep price
- OS looks dated
- Maps limited and suffer from bugs
- Most apps have ugly borders
- Lack of memory card slot
- Fragile feel

Apple iPhone 5 (16GB/32GB/64GB)
As we noted early in this review, it's now a truism that the latest iPhone is the best ever-a claim that Apple has also made with every generation of iPods, but not always achieved.
Pros:
- Apple's fastest and most capable iPhone yet
- The first iPhone to include a 4" screen, LTE cellular support, and two truly impressive cameras
- Improved screen and camera color accuracy, plus dramatically improved low light camera performance.
Cons:
- Battery performance too often falls below Apple's best case estimates, particularly for cellular calling and data. LTE service remains inconsistent between neighborhoods, cities, and countries, with widely varying data speeds and availability
- some users will see no cellular speed improvements over...

Apple iPhone 5 review
There's been a lot of ink spilled over the notion that the iPhone 5 somehow isn't "revolutionary" or "radical." It isn't. It's familiar, but better. That familiarity is one of the iPhone's strengths, not a weakness.
Pros:
- Bigger
- better screen
- Very elegantly built phone
- Incredibly light and thin
- Fast new custom-designed CPU
Cons:
- New Maps app needs a lot of work
- Letterboxed third-party apps

Review – Apple iPhone 5
You'll notice I haven't banged on about specs very much in this review. That's by design. The iPhone is all about the user experience, and specs don't ever tell the whole story. There are those who love the iPhone experience, and those who feel somewhat constrained by it.

iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 is as ever a thoroughly enjoyable and capable smartphone. It's easy and fun to use and it's secure and stable. The latest generation model clearly gives users what they wanted (look how many have sold): LTE 4G and a larger display.
Pros:
- Bigger dispay
- fast LTE 4G
- gorgeous design and smooth experience
Cons:
- Feature evolution too slow for some
- UI still largely unchanged

Apple iPhone 5 (Verizon Wireless)
"It's the same thing with a bigger screen." "It doesn't have NFC." "Android phones have had 4G LTE for ages." Immediately after Apple announced the iPhone 5 ($199), lots of people started questioning whether Apple had done enough to stay in the smartphone vanguard.
Pros:
- Amazingly thin and light
- Bigger more vibrant screen
- Fast 4G LTE speeds
- Very good battery life
- Improved camera
- Facebook integration and easy photo sharing
Cons:
- Half-baked Maps app
- Very few interface enhancements

iPhone 5 expert review
In this Agent's humble opinion, the iPhone 5 is by far the best iPhone yet. Although there are no major new features, every single aspect of the handset has been improved over the 4S. The new design looks and feels great and the larger screen really makes a difference.
