Ok for men

Bought this for my wife but found that she would have to have arms like a Russian shot putter to take up the slack in the strap even on the smallest adjustment, shame as it looks really good quality.
Pros:
  • Comfortable
  • takes an iPhone5 with a slim case fitted
  • Could do with somewhere to hold excess headphone cable

Iphone 5- It's OK, certainly better out there for the same price

I have experienced this phone previously to owning my current phone (Samsung galaxy s4). Personally I think the galaxy is 1000x's better than the Iphone, and because of it I will never change back.
Pros:
  • Feels good in the hand
  • Fast and easy to use UI
Cons:
  • Poor build quality
  • OS is very limited
  • Not many cool features
  • Overheats easily
  • Sudden glitches
  • Expensive for what you get

It's an odd sensation, but it actually detracts from the experience when you first pick it up. We've praised the weighty feel of the iPhone in the past, lending it a premium feel in the face of toy-like phones.
Pros:
  • Great design
  • Larger screen
  • Average battery life
  • Quality camera
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Poor maps
  • Ageing OS

iPhone 5 iSight Camera Review

Upgrading from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 delivers a clear increase in image quality. Not only this but it is quicker in use, for example, HDR pictures are rendered much quicker. We recommend you use the HDR mode all the time as it generally produced much better results.
Pros:
  • Large number of apps available
  • Fantastic panoramas
  • HDR mode delivers good results
  • Size and weight
  • Geotagging
  • LCD screen
  • White balance performance
  • Easy to share pictures
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • No image stabilisation
  • LED flash not great
  • Very few camera settings available

iPhone 5 review

Many Apple products are launched to something of a fanfare , and the iPhone 5 was no exception. While it's easy to get carried away in the queues , high-fiving Apple store staff , and endless reports, rumours, and rapid-fire reviews: it's worth taking a deep breath, standing back, and taking a good...

Apple iPhone 5 in-depth review -

The response to Apple's huge iPhone 5 launch was more mixed than a Fatboy Slim album. Many applauded Apple on creating what was sure to be the best iPhone yet, complete with larger screen and a new slimline design.
Pros:
  • 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
