Apple iPhone 5 review: Laws of attraction - read the full textThe iPhone 5. As in five million units sold over the course of a … weekend. Can't say no to that. This is the latest installment in the smartphone series that changed the mobile phone industry and we can understand people couldn't wait. Now, what is it they couldn't wait for?

I switched to Lumia 920 after iP4, Nokia beats the iphone in terms of camera and design, iPhone5 is nice but it's becoming boring with the same UI.

The major difference between an Iphone and ny other phone is the performance.. Iphone works smothly even if it's storage if 'full' and try it on any other phone they hang. Just try it u wil know.. Comparing Iphone to any other phone is bullshit!!

Apple iPhone 5 - Fastest speed, Best camera, Best hardware, Best UI, Awesome touch.. I used Sony, Samsung, Nokia and HTC but no one can match the quality of Apple.. Don't worry about how much applications are open.. It will work as fast as it will without any app open. It is truly an amazing experience using my iPhone 5... I am bit upset with the sound quality of headphones.

I suggest everyone not to go by numbers (specifications) when to plan to buy a phone.. My iPhone’s 8 MP camera is far better than Sony’s 12 or 13 MP camera phones.

Nice new design but I prefer the NXT design.

I am an audiophile...n for me, the fact that iphone 5 has taken a step back in the music department is enough for me to consider the iphone 4s

"What prevents us from giving full points to the iPhone 5 is the amount of unused space at the front. It's the use of space that sets high-end products apart from the rest, but the iPhone 5 has acres of unused glass at the top and bottom. Need proof that a better job could be done? The Motorola Razr M has virtually identical surface to the iPhone 5 and yet fits a 4.3" screen of the same aspect ratio."
Its iPhone 5, not Motorola bro. Its the iconic design of the phone and i wana keep it this way i love it this way and i wud never want to get it shedded away.

I have read almost all the user opinions on the iphone5. I think i see the problem. Everyone with previous models of iphone are not as impressed as they thought they would be, and rightly so. It may not be such a big leap forward from the 4s but it is still a step in the right direction. Then for the ex-nokia owners (like myself), it's really something to admire. The main issues seem to be the feature list, and the screen real estate. This is where my own opinion comes in...like Steve Jobs said..." a screen larger than 4 inches, is a tablet, not a phone." How come Apple has been so successful with a 3.5 incher for a whole decade? For me the S3 and other huge screen phones are impractical, but that's just me. Regarding features.... To all the droids out there, see for how long will you be using all those features. After a few weeks, the novelty has worn off, and then you are stuck with an unstable, overheating phone that takes up too much space in your pocket. The iphone 5 is a proper business phone with enough features and available apps to keep you busy as well as entertained, while staying fast, responsive and stable at the same time. It's a phone guys!!!! If you want a tablet, get a tablet. I personally think Apple rules. They can do with an upgrade to the look of IOS, but it still rules!! Like i said, it's my opinion, and like another poster quite rightly said...."it's not about which phone is the best, it's about which one suits YOU best. For me it's Apple.

Warning DONT UPGRADE TO IOS 6.0.2...

this is a warning to all please DONT download IOS 6.0.2 for your devices.. i have an iphone 5 and my friend has an iPad mini.. and the battery doesn't stand 5 hours a day off the charger after the update.. this is one of the worst experiences i cam across with Apple.. I want to downgrade to 6.0 but iTunes wont allow as it can void my warranty... Really this is the worst update from Apple.. and they call this an UPDATE? Fixed the wireless issues and screw up the battery life..

I am an iPhone fan.. but now my eyebrow is raising at what Apple has become in terms of credibility..

I repeat DONOT upgrade to 6.0.2 till a fix is released or you will regret it you have been warned..

how come people be bothered what phone is the best. what is really matter is what phone suits them best. the only i care about iphone 5 is its potential on 3d gaming. benchmarking prove that s3 is quite backward than ip5. maybe s4 could beat that. but still playstore can't catch up with appstore. apps developer for ios is more advanced than that playstore. the only thing i hope is apple make much larger screen and use the igzo display for upcoming iphone5s/6. ppi could go higher with that display technology.
