  • 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

  • Elegantly built. Incredibly light. Bigger, better screen. Fast, fast, fast. Awesome content ecosystem.
  • No simultaneous talk and data connection. New Maps app needs a lot of work. Many third-party apps are not designed for the new screen yet
  • With a sublime, but familiar design inside and out, a speedy new processor, fast LTE, and the best apps in the business, the new iPhone is like the old iPhone, just much better....
