iPhone 5 Review: The Latest From Apple

In what is definitely one of the most anticipated phone launches in recent history, the iPhone5 was introduced to the world. The iPhone5 has been described in some quarters as dull and nothing more than the 4S with a better display. But the iPhone5 is comes with some noticeable improvements and cannot be said to be in the same category as its predecessors.

Typically each iPhone comes faster than the one before it and the iPhone5 is no exception. Apple added a speedy processor to their latest model in the form of an A6 chip and right from the onset you notice there is a difference when you use the phone.

The iPhone5 is worth its price and looks it too. The glassy and metallic look is stunning and it balances very well in one hand. The phone is wider than the iPhone4 and 4S and is lighter, coming at just 3.95 ounces. Apple made another modification by moving the headphone jack to the bottom of the phone.

The iPhone5 has 3 microphones in the chassis area. There is one near the earpiece, another located at the bottom and the last at the back near the camera. These microphones work with a complicated system known as beamforming which allows the handset to pinpoint where the voice of the user is coming from, thereby offering amazing sound quality.

Apple introduced quite a number of enhancements to their camera feature. Firstly, the camera now comes with a sapphire crystal lens to protect it from scratches. Secondly, there is a 8-megapixel resolution improvement quality, with this you can afford to take photos in not too bright places and have the pictures automatically save as soon as you snap. Furthermore, there is the amazing panorama mode that allows you flawlessly stitch pictures together if you want to tell a memorable story.

The iPhone5 is an enjoyable LTE 4G Smartphone that comes with a larger on-screen display. There are also captivating new features like Siri and the ever reliable voice assistant that allows you control your phone without touch. The 1,440mAh battery for the iPhone5 is guaranteed to last for a maximum of 8 hours. But this still falls short of the Droid Razr Maxx or Galaxy S3 which stretches into the 10 hour time frame.

Apple's vector oriented maps work better than the previous map application. The 3D views are spectacular and way ahead of Google maps on Android smartphones. You can access if your phone is locked or you are using another application. A notification of your next turn pops up on the screen, as you approach. Yelp is also incorporated and provides not only ratings about the best places around but also pictures and business periods.

The iPhone5 is an awesome smartphone and offers some impressive features. It is the perfect phone for the techno-geek and newbie because of the simplicity associated with accessing its features.
