Upon receiving the item I inspected the box and found it to have typographical errors, the colors were off, and the serial information was displayed in a format uncharacteristic of Apple's original packaging.

When we review a product, we're usually given a sample by the manufacturer that's been hand-picked just for us to test. The hardware has been examined for defects, every feature has been fully vetted and scrutinized, and the software has been triple-checked.

Elongated display provides easy access to more apps, and makes for pleasant, un-letterboxed widescreen viewing; Lots of iPhone 5-ready apps to choose from already; Apple-engineered A6 processor is wicked-fast.

Anodized aluminum rear plate, particularly in black, has a reported propensity for scratches; Video recording picks up a surprising amount of audio interference, even in a quiet room; Updates, while all worthwhile and technologically impressive, won't make your jaw drop with awe

I really think they should keep selling the the regular 5 16gb white n black. I bought green 5c and its the same stuff but the phones colors are so bright and i am going to return it because i prefer the 5 or 5s. This phone is way too fragile.

Amazing build quality; perfectly executed design; blazingly fast CPU; excellent gaming; vastly superior camera and video --a solid all-rounder
