I'm surprised they kept the edge-to-edge glass.
I call it easy-to-break glass.
How hard is it to smash the phone when the glass is almost protruding out of its casing? iPhone 4 / 4S was one of the most broken phones in terms of percentage of cracked screens thanks to the easily cracked glass, even from regular height drops.
Apple needs to reinstate the much more impact-resistant iPhone / 2G / 3G / 3GS design, it is irrational to build a phone that breaks with occasional drops, it's like blackmailing people into buying thicker phone covers and bumpers.
Which defeats the purpose of the thin phone.

And it probably wouldn't be the best idea to give the iPhone 5 a waterproof coating because a lot of iPhone owners would be stupid enough to think they can take it swimming with them and then try to sue Apple when the phone dies.

Yeah after the shocking launch of iPhone 5 which was a crap but if these 5 things that could have made the iPhone 5 an even better smartphone
1,Expandable memory :Sure, Apple offers the iPhone 5 with different amounts of storage space, up to 64GB, but it's way cheaper, and sometimes even more practical to just use a microSD card, which you can easily take out and insert into another device.
2,More informative, dynamic homescreen :Wouldn't it be cool if the iPhone 5's homescreen could show a bit more information? How about getting real-time updates on the weather, or short incoming message previews, or your next calendar events? Most of these things already appear on the lockscreen, but they disappear once you unlock your handset. Plus, it would be undeniably great if all that info is present right on the homescreen as well. Oh well, maybe in a future iOS release...
3, NFC :NFC is not included in the iPhone 5, which means we're in for another painful year for mobile payments and other NFC applications. Probably waiting until the time is right, Apple will not give the thumbs up to NFC for at least another 12 months.
4,Wireless charging :There can be no argument here, wireless charging is a great convenience. Just place your iPhone on the neatly-designed charging pad and it's all set - no need to connect cables or anything like that. It just works! Well, not really, because Apple is yet to adopt such technology.
5,Water- and dust-resistant coating :You've probably heard of these new water- and dust-proof coatings. They make your handset that much more resistant to the elements, without altering the its gorgeous looks one bit. Sadly, even though the iPhone 5 is one incredibly well-designed and constructed device, it still doesn't have such a coating, meaning you'll still have to handle it with extreme care.

People never seem to learn from history. Apple had never competed on tech specs (even though on that front they are more than competent). iPhone philosophy is invisible technology which allows the user to focus on apps and getting things done.
Don't like it? It doesn't work for you? Buy an Android, or buy a WP8. They are also brilliant. One thing you mut get through your heads, Apple will continue pursuing this philosophy and will not simply adopt whatever tech for tech's sake. It will use what is useful, and what it believes is useful.
Plus what do you haters have to worry? According to you guys Apple is dying tomorrow anyway right? ;)

More of the same, Apple just tried to match the competition with the iPhone, but this phone really does not do the competition and better (galaxy s3/note 2 and lumia 920)? Facetime without wi-fi? (competition with other applications makes it long ago) Panoramic camera (for years there are hundreds who do, the Galaxy S2 which was released in February 2011 does), 4 "screen after so praised was his old 3.5" because it was "perfect"? (only lengthened to go from being in a television format of the old with 3:2 to 16:9 aspect ratio which is used in all screens for almost a decade and in all competition for smartphones years), has integration with facebook? (competition integration with any application, not just facebook, makes me cringe that improves mention in his presentation as revolutionary), changed the charging port? (only becomes obsolete ALL devices you have with the old port or use the adapter will cost 29 euros ...) Processor updated (it fair to try to adapt to 2012 and still remains in last place against competition) what else has? any other developments to compare with the competition? NO .. NOTHING, even has the same battery, with a larger screen is used up more quickly than does the 4s ... And pity that the great innovations that have made smart competition have not deigned nor some even match or take a self ... Open your eyes people

Doesn't amuse me at all. But still. It's a good thing they made it with larger screen. But I'll stick with my Nexus S.
