  • IPhone 5 and iPhone 5S could look essentially the same
  • IPhone 6 likely to bring lots more new features next year.
  • New 8 pin Lightning dock connector requires adaptors to work with existing accessories
  • 4” screen is still smaller than most rival flagship handsets
  • 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
  • Apple Maps feels unfinished and buggy
  • Sprint and Verizon models can't use voice and data simultaneously. The smaller connector renders current accessories unusable without an adapter. There's no NFC
  • And the screen size pales in comparison to jumbo Andro

  • Faster Processor, Thinner and lighter, Beautiful Retina Display, Well Designed, 725,000 Apps Available, LTE (FINALLY!!!)
  • New Lightning Adapter, Larger screen makes minimal impact, Lots of room for improvement for iOS 6
  • Now comes the question: is the iPhone 5 worth upgrading to? That really depends on what you're upgrading from, and what your needs are. If you are using an iPhone 4 or are ready to leave Windows Mobile or Android… absolutely. If you have a 4S, you can pro...

  • LTE support is great to (finally) have, and it's fast where coverage is good, The "light and thin" quotient is bordering on "we live in the future" territory, More rows of icons on the home screen because of the bigger screen: minor, but we'll take it
  • iPhone 4S owners may have a hard time justifying an upgrade just yet, No USB 3.0 even though Apple's newest notebooks support it
  • The iPhone 5 didn't come with a few features some wanted, such as support for near field communications (NFC), micro-USB, an SD card reader, a fingerprint scanner, USB 3.0 support, etc. But Apple has always favored simplicity over a kitchen-sink approach...
