The iPhone 5 looks eerily like its predecessors
But trust us when we say you haven’t seen it until you’ve held it. The iPhone 5 is a phenomenal feat of hardware
It’s just 7.6mm thick
And at just 112g
Incredibly light.Gone are the raised glass edges
Replaced by smooth chamfers
But the rock solid
Premium build remains. The metal back that replaces the glass coating of the iPhone 4 and 4

The editors didn't like
New Lightning dock connector means you'll need connector for all your old accessories
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
Steep price
OS looks dated
Maps limited and suffer from bugs
Most apps have ugly borders
Lack of memory card slot
Fragile feel.
Google Maps removal
No wow factor
No zoom
No image stabilisation
Panorama issues
Hard to hold and keep stable
No manual controls
Lacks innovation like the PureView 808
LED flash should be brighter
High price
Poor maps
Ageing OS
Will scuff
IOS 6 plays it too safe
A lot of applications aren't yet optimised for the 4-inch display and Maps isn't up to scratch
Apple Maps is too much of a work in progress
Adapter issue is a pain
Interface now lacks wow factor
Expensive
Maps
Battery life
Few options for customising the interface
No NFC
High SAR
It’s hard to fault the iPhone 5 hardware
It may not be dazzlingly new
But it’s refined
Beautiful and packed with bleeding edge tech. Some people might grumble at the new Lightning port
But Apple had to draw a line in the sand at some point to keep making the iPhone thinner
Apple's AirPlay wireless streaming set up should more than make up for any docks you own now rendered redundant.If we ha

Als camera is de iPhone 5 geen grote stap vooruit. De resolutie is dezelfde als op de 4s, en het grotere scherm wordt alleen bij filmen helemaal benut. De iPhone 5 lijkt iets slimmer om te gaan met ruis, maar houdt de gevoeligheden soms onwerkbaar laag. K...

Flexibele smartphone, Nog steeds trendsettend, Gegarandeerd succesvol
Prijzig, Geen NFC
Het hoeft geen betoog dat Apple met de iPhone 5 weer alle records gaat breken. Weerbarstig als men is, maakt men ook nu weer eigenzinnige keuzes. Geen NFC en een nieuwe kleine nano-SIM. Die laatste moet je aanvragen bij je operator. De ondersteuning ...
