Apple has done a great job on the hardware overhaul to bring the thinnest, lightest iPhone yet, but there's a lack of any new 'wow' features, and the firm needs to do a quick fix-it job on Apple Maps.

Thin and light design; larger 16:9 high-quality display; 4G support

Google Maps removal; no wow factor

iPhone 5 Really is worth Upgrading from the previous Generation of iPhone like 4s or 4 as this comes with lot of internal and external changes such as new body design and a bigger display. HD Resolution, Better Processor and More Memory added makes iPhone feel better.

Having had an iPhone 3gs previously I thought I knew what to expect from the new iPhone 5 - how wrong was I ! Faster lighter clearer, so much better and still so easy to use.

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.

Great design; Larger screen; Average battery life; Quality camera

Expensive; Poor maps; Ageing OS

I've had all the iPhones except the 4s. Went from a 4 to a samsung s2 then to the s3. Got a 64 gig for the right price and all I can say is wow, really missed the smoothness of them. IOS is a little dated compared to android but it is less clunky and laggy.

i was due an upgrade and after trying the blackberry Z10 and samsung galaxy S3 (which are both total rubbish). I fought I would finally see what the big fuss is about iphones! And honestly i have to say Iphones are the best! do NOT save abit of money and go for the BB or samsung!

The iPhone 5 is a foregone conclusion. With 2 million pre-orders made over the first 24 hours, estimates of 8 million units being sold over its first weekend and Apple's stock prices at a record high, the iPhone 5 is a success even before the first customer switches it on.

Larger 4 inch display; faster; thiner and lighter; LTE connectivity

No NFC; Lightning connector may not work with older docks

In the end what are we left with? A lighter, thinner, faster, taller, better-camera-wielding iPhone. When put like that it sounds like it should be marvellous. Though it is good, the truth is that the competition has caught up, and the competition isn't showing signs of slowing down.

After faithfully sticking with my iPhone 4 for 2 years, I definitely knew that I was an apple convert. I loved my iPods and really thought long and hard about whether I should get an iPhone, I just thought that an iPod touch was just basically an iPhone that didn't text or call, but I was pleasantly...

great camera; fantastic improvement for the iPhone

wifi is very problematic
