  • 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

  • It’s hard to fault the iPhone 5 hardware
  • It may not be dazzlingly new

  • Eye-catching design, purchase music tracks and buy or rent movies on iTunes with SA account, brilliant display, thin and light, easy to use one-handed, and new Earpod earphones fit comfortably in your ears
  • Premium pricetag, iOS appears long in the tooth in terms of its design, LTE supported by the device, but not yet by local networks, and can't expand upon internal storage
