I've owned almost every noteworthy phone since before the first iPhone. I have to say I am amazed at just how forgiving reviewers are with the iPhone. Here is what I believe are the pros and cons of the new iPhone 5:
IPhone 5 pros:-Screen color representation and resolution-Light weight-Charges quickly-The new dock connector (I really do like it)
-Siri now works with locations in Canada (iOS6)
-The Camera is still very good
-LTE
-App selection (especially games)
-Fits well in the hand and feels good even with a case
-Tons of cheap iPhone 5 Cases
IPhone 5 Cons:
-The screen is still very tiny. This is especially noticeable if you’re coming from most android phones.
-Letterboxing in some apps or in the case of the keyboard, stretched out because of the new screen size. I felt as though it should be taller, but it's almost like they kept the same height (will have to compare to a 4s)
It omits all the criticism which is due. Such as terrible design decision on the back plate, Terri bad antenna performance, not impressive battery performance and it scratches. It is even worse than W40k models that I used to paint 10 years or so ago when I was 20.
-Many apps don't rotate in landscape
-Poor battery life right now, even on wifi (will have to test with LTE off altogether). I should clarify that while not in use, in sleep/standby mode it still seems excellent. As soon as I begin to use it though is where I see it drop. It could just be that my expectations were high seeing that some reviewers placed its battery prowess second only to the droid RAZR max.
-Some seeming lag and responsiveness issues but that could also be because I'm used to a larger screen and keep missing what I'm pressing for.
-The total lack of customization. I don't expect widgets or themes etc. but I would like to be able to place my icons and rows anywhere I want on the screen and leave spaces in between if I want.
-App functionality. Many of the apps I commonly use just work better on android, like Dropbox, instagram, Radio (works the same but is 5$ cheaper/month on Android) or are simply nonexistent in iOS (toggle apps, swipe, google maps)
-Siri is still very glitch and lies to me by saying it remembers my relatives names and instantly forgetting them.luoqiyin666
