  • Typically slick Apple design
  • 4G support (eventually)
  • Bigger, more vibrant screen
  • Strong performance
  • Almost the same great camera as 4S
  • Siri is actually useful now
Cons:
  • Eye-wateringly expensive
  • iOS 6 showing its age
  • Maps is buggy and limited
  • Ugly borders around most apps
  • No memory card slot
  • Still feels fragile
