Not as customisable as Android. There are very few changes in the UI & the features available are much less compared to other leading phones in the market like Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Selected optimised apps and games for the 4inch display
Maps
Taller screen might be a bit uncomfortable for a few
IOS is starting to look dated
Maps and Navigation is of very poor quality outside the US

Abstract: After almost twelve long months of waiting, the much-anticipated Apple iPhone 5 has finally arrived.But in a year where we€ve seen cutting-edge, market-defining devices launched by Samsung and HTC, among others, can Apple hold onto its crown in the ever-g...
Thin and light design; larger 16:9 high-quality display; 4G support
Google Maps removal; no wow factor
Apple has done a great job on the hardware overhaul to bring the thinnest, lightest iPhone yet, but there's a lack of any new 'wow' features, and the firm needs to do a quick fix-it job on Apple Maps....
The iPhone 5 adds everything we wanted in the iPhone 4S: 4G LTE, a longer, larger screen, free turn-by-turn navigation, and a faster A6 processor. Plus, its top-to-bottom redesign is sharp, slim, and feather-light
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
The iPhone 5 offers a thoroughly pleasant redesign with a taller display and a thinner, lighter frame. Fast and packing a great camera, the hardware is hard to fault, while iOS feels slick and offers loads of apps, even if Apple's new Maps software fee...
Taking this a standard alone, the iPhone 5 is a superb device. However, it just misses out on an Editor's choice award because it's not quite the giant leap forward from the iPhone 4S in terms of features. Yes, it is insanely quick and we've finally go...
Few competitors will better it in the smartphone category, “always on”, fast to load, thin and light, AF/AE lock
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
It’s the take anywhere, snap anything pocket phone. Great in good light, not so much in dim conditions where the lack of true user control is an issue. Add some blips in the panorama mode, no zoom, image stabilisation or next-phase innovation and there...
Abstract: Mobile Phones and Apps The iPhone 4S had one of our favourite phone cameras of last year, providing shots that would give even some dedicated compact digital cameras a run for their money. Apple claims the iPhone 5's snapper has even better tech, so l...
Yes, 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
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
With the iPhone 5, Apple has done it again. It’s bigger, but lighter, faster, but runs for longer, and it’s as lustworthy as ever.iOS 6 might not bring too many headline features to the tablet, but Apple has consolidated the top work it’s done over the...
You'll notice I haven't banged on about specs very much in this review. That's by design. The iPhone is all about the user experience, and specs don't ever tell the whole story. There are those who love the iPhone experience, and those who feel somewhat...
