Apple iPhone 5 Information and Review

Quality build

iPhone 5 is slick, fashionable, and well designed. It is the thinnest, lightest and fastest iPhone ever. It’s a little bit taller too to accommodate a larger 4-inch screen. The device back is made of anodized aluminium with glass at the top and bottom.  The front is almost entirely made of glass. Thus you should watch out as the glass could shatter if the iPhone drops to the ground. 

Sleek screen

IPhone 5 has increased the size of its screen to 4-inches from the previous 3.5. They have done this by lengthening the device but kept the width the same. This allows for an extra row of icons on the home screen. The screen features Apple’s retina display which is second to none. The text is smooth regardless of how much you pinch-zoom and has bright and accurate colors. 


Speedy performance

IPhone 5 features a 1.2 GHZ dual-core processor called Apple a^, and a triple –core graphics. This is not the most powerful smartphone processor in the market but that doesn't mean it’s not fast. Apple has opted not to include a quad-core processor probably because of the high power it consumes from the battery.

Snappy camera

iPhone 5 8 MP camera has improved low-light performance and lens cover is more resistant to scratches.

Apple Maps
Although Apple has replaced Google maps with its own Apple maps, it is pretty atrocious. You have to see it for yourself to believe how bad it is compared to Google maps.
