- 4" 16M-color LED-backlit IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen of 640 x 1136px resolution
- Scratch-resistant screen glass,
Cons:
- Aluminum body looks cool but is easy to scratch
- Proprietary connector
- incompatible with previous-gen accessories (needs adapter
- The new display is not proportionally bigger
- but only taller

- nano-SIM support only
- Apple Maps app not up

Apple iPhone 5 review
A taller screen and a sumptuous redesign for the iconic smartphone, but Apple's latest iPhone falls tantalisingly short of the A-List

Apple iPhone 5
If you're a fan of Apple's iPhone and iOS, we think you'll be pleased with the enhancements made to the iPhone design. The new aluminium and glass combination is lovely, the longer screen is a slight improvement and the new hardware delivers a seamless user experience, as always.
Pros:
- Same slick performance as with previous iPhones
- 4G is a welcome addition
- Longer display adds needed screen real estate
- Earpods are very comfortable
Cons:
- iOS is still mostly uncustomisable
- Design isn't as nice to hold as it is to look at
- No HDMI
- micro USB or memory expansion
- unless you pay for adapters
- No NFC

Apple iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 surpasses its predecessors in virtually every aspect, and it is without a doubt the best offering from Apple so far. Despite the oversight with regards to the maps, it isn't quite the off-putting flaw that makes the iPhone 5 any less of a beast (especially since it can be rectified).
Pros:
- + A speedier and smoother experience
- + Improved battery life
Cons:
- - Horrible built-in mapping solution
- - Lack of innovative features on the OS

Looks good for now
The iPhone 5 is great and all for the average businessman or high-end job holder, but my biggest worry is the 4G-LTE. It may be RIDICULOUSLY fast right now, but that's because not too many people are using it; give it a year or so, and the 4G-LTE hype will die down and carriers will soon have to...
Pros:
- picture quality
- easy to use
- helps organize my tasks easily
Cons:
- not too durable

Gotta upgrade to this!
Remember sliced bread? This is better. New operating system adds Several new features. I really like the do not disturb and being able to pick you own music for the alarm. Phone is fast. You jump from last page of icons back to the front. You can actually hear the speakers.
