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.

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

The iPhone 5 has finally come to T-Mobile, and if you're in the market for a smartphone from Apple, pay attention. T-Mobile's iPhone is the same iPhone 5 that you've seen elsewhere, with better voice quality at a lower price. That's a terrific combination for anyone currently shopping for an iPhone.

Relatively inexpensive; Speedy; Supports HD Voice

Limited network coverage in some parts of the U.S

As usual apple does a great job. Screen quality is great. Battery life is amazing. I waited for the 5 to come out have been very pleased. Lets see what apple does next.

Clear Sound; Durable

The Best Cellphone.

When a new version of a standard-setting product is about to be released, the questions are predictable. They essentially fall into two camps. In terms of excitement, we wonder what fabulous new features it will offer that we didn't know we couldn't live without.

A larger screen; thinner and lighter design; and 4G LTE connectivity make this superb smartphone better than ever

Like its predecessors; the iPhone 5 lacks expandable storage and; though its display is brilliant; it's smaller than some competitors

Hyped Like No Other Phone, This Is Less Of A Phone And More Of A Status Symbol Or A Style Statement To Many...Priced At The Highest End Of The Mobile Spectrum...Yet Totally An F- For the Price : Performance Ratio...But Its Not All Bad..Is It ...

The iPhone 5 is more than just Apple's latest high-end smartphone. In a world of huge slabs of phone the iPhone's thin profile makes it different to the Galaxy S4 , Sony Xperia Z , HTC One , BlackBerry Z10 , Nokia Lumia 925 and the rest of the high-end phone lineup.

Tends to rattle and be noisy especially when there is no phone in the holder. This is particularly annoying on short trips when you don't put the phone in the holder, otherwise with the phone in the clamp it is not noisy.

A number of high profile news stories emerged soon after the iPhone 5's release. These ranged from the metallic back and side chipping and revealing the aluminium beneath to issues with battery life and the Apple Maps fiasco. We go into more detail about the maps app further on.

Stunning design and build; Taller; more colourful display; 4G connectivity and superfast processor

Scratchprone chassis; New Maps app is a step backwards; Lacks NFC
