iPhone 5!!! THE BEST YET!!
This is my sixth iPhone to date. From 2007 to 2012. In the middle I've tried Blackberry - Windows Phone and the Android phones. Not bad, however I always return to the iPhone. iPhone 5 is a great phone. Lightweight and super fast. Battery life is the best I've seen on any smart-phone.
Pros: Great all the way
Negatives: I really have none.
Subpar
There are no major diferences between the 4s and the Iphone 5. Apple made their latest and greatest longer and lighter and that's it. I've been a life long apple supporter, but I am so disappointed in this piece of crap. The are simply trailing behind. I am definitely switching to the galaxy s4.
Pros: looks pretty, recharges quickly
Cons: Nothing new, No NFC, they changed the charge port, no micro sd card, still no file or music sharing, good luck getting an mp3 ringtone, still no removable battery..........
just terrible
This was a huge de grade from the iphone 4 and the 4s.it is messed up you could say. If you like to waste money this is a good phone
Really?
Ouch, Apple. You continue to release phones behind the curve. Disappointing. No respect for your consumers. I should have based it off specs and not picked it up at launch. In person it's even worse. Trading it in for the One X tomorrow.
PROS
Resolution is great!
Fast processor.
CONS
Camera - Sub par, pixelated, esp with fast capture.
Weight - TOO light, feels really cheap, like a toy.
Aspect Ratio - Should be wider, kind of awkward.
No NFC - Really?
Really disappointed, too bad! Until next year..
