  • New iOS 6 features like PassBook and Maps don't feel finished
  • Seem rushed
  • IPhone 5 design
  • The iPhone 5
  • The iPhone 5 isn't without its faults though – it's a handset that suffers from an ageing OS that doesn't look overly different from when it was launched five and a half years ago
  • There are so many tweaks Apple could make to its OS to turn it into more o
