The Apple iPhone 5 which is the latest and greatest iPhone ever made by the Cupertino based company is here.The iPhone 5 sports an all new design which reminds us of the first iPhone which had a metallic back. The iPhone 5 also features a lot of new components on the inside.

Stunning hardware design; Improved camera; New Ear pods ear phones; Above average battery life; 2G(GPRS,EDGE) ; 3G(HSPA,HSPA+) and 4G LTE data supported

Taller screen might be a bit uncomfortable for a few; iOS is starting to look dated; Maps and Navigation is of very poor quality outside the US; New nano SIM card is not available widely

The anodised aluminium back - as opposed to glass - makes the iPhone 5 more durable. But in terms of aesthetics, I'd still prefer the glass finish over the new two-toned design. In case you're wondering, this is the same material you see on the Nokia N8. The 3.5 mm audio jack is now at the bottom.

Fluid UI; Clean design; Impressive camera; Great sound quality; Long battery life; Excellent for gaming; Rich App Store

Expensive; A few apps run letterboxed; Lacklustre maps; Limited codec support; Lacks FM Radio; Can't share files over Bluetooth; No mass storage mode

We have reviewed or used every single iPhone that was ever designed/built and to be honest the iPhone 5 was less exciting than we had expected due to the hype surrounding the handset.

The Apple iPhone 5 is the best iPhone in the market, but that really isn't a surprise, is it? But then again, for a phone that costs Rs. 45,500, it better justify the expense. The iPhone 5 is an incremental update over the 4S, but the best phone incrementally improved is equal to a huge improvement.

Blazing fast performance; Much improved display; Widescreen aspect ratio brilliant for multimedia; Lighter than the iPhone 4S; Excellent build quality; Camera is improved over the 4S; Doesn't heat up like the 4S; Surprisingly good battery life

Costs a lot of money; Nano SIM is a pain to procure; The OS just looks plain dated; Apple has messed up the Maps; big time

To say that the iPhone 5 is the most anticipated smartphone of the year is an understatement. It is perhaps the smartphone people have waited for two years especially after Apple launched the iPhone 4S last October, which was physically identical to the iPhone 4.

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.

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

Expensive; No image stabilisation; LED flash not great; Very few camera settings available

Iphone5....faster, better camera, 1/2 inch larger screen...great for making calls, texting, and browsing. Nothing else to it than iphone1, iphone2g, iphone 3g, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s except for those 3 major things.

The iPhone 5 is a beautiful phone and exemplifies Apple's commitment to quality designs that are also human-friendly. The phone feels solid in your hand even though it's light enough you might mistake it for a prop at first.

4-inch Retina Display; comfortable to hold; thin design makes one-handed use easy; fast; LTE; new sync/charge connector; looks sharp

Chamfered edges scratch easy for some users; no USB 3 syncing; Lightning connector means iPad owners get to carry two sync cables

The new iPhone 5 has the best camera in an iPhone yet. We review it up against its acclaimed predecessor

Faster processor; Higher maximum ISO; lighter; thinner; stronger

The iPhone 5 does everything well. It's beautiful, super fast, has great battery life, is tied to the best app store out there, and it takes incredible photos and video. There's no reason you wouldn't want an iPhone 5, unless of course you desire the flexibility and choice that only an Android phone...
