I had an iPhone 4 changed jobs and went back to a BB! Torture!! I love the phone and the improvements are great! I do not see any improvement in battery life (disappointing). I hope they figure out why service drops and will not come back without reboot!

iPhone 5 Review

A number of high profile news stories emerged soon after the iPhone 5’s release. These ranged from the metallic back and side chipping and revealing the aluminium beneath to issues with battery life and the Apple Maps fiasco. We go into more detail about the maps app further on.
The most complained about aspect of the iPhone 5 is battery life. More than 2,500 owners gave the iPhone 5 an average of 6.8/10 for battery life. The Galaxy S3 and S4 score 7.3 and 7.6 out of 10 respectively.
The next aspect of the iPhone 5 that most irks owners is its value for money. iPhone owners have known for a long time that Apple demands a premium for its phones. The cost of extra storage on an iPhone makes it particularly costly to go for a 32GB or 64GB model, whereas Galaxy owners are able to add extra storage on the cheap via the microSD card.
However, it’s not all bad news for iPhone owners in terms of value. The iPhone 5 retains its value better than any other smartphone. This means you can get back a lot of the original outlay by selling when you upgrade. Even better news is that the 2,500 owners who provided feedback scored the iPhone 5 with 9.2 for ease of use, 9.1 for features and 9.1 for design, clearly showing that it also has a lot going for it.

The iPhone 5 is a fantastic phone for those looking for something that just works. It is very intuitive, easy to use, and has a ton of great features. Some of the best are the iCloud sync, which allows me to sync several things like contacts, calendars, reminders, websites, and documents with all of my devices. I especially like the iCloud tabs sync, which shares all the websites I have open on all devices (provided you are using Safari and have OSX 10.8). Calendar sync is great as well.
The new larger screen is great for watching videos like netflix, and the camera is superb. The only downside is that the battery life could be a bit better, but it is still average for the industry I would say. I generally unplug it in the morning and typically have around 30-40% remaining when I go to bed.
Overall, great phone worth the money.

What can I say about the iPhone 5 that hasn't been said tenfold already. It's a pretty good LTE smart phone, the battery life is a serious issue, but for someone like me who isn't constantly on my phone it's not a huge issue. The screen is a pretty nice size, not the mammoth sized of the Samsung smart phones. But overall it's a great phone if you're in the market for a LTE cell phone that's simplistic & reliable.

Upgraded from my iPhone 5 much faster processor very noticeable, better camera. I love the finger print scan u know I'm late on that feature but still. The handless Siri feature is great & I basically got this for free since Best Buy was giving $200 guaranteed gift card with any good conditioned iPhone 5 or newer. My phone only cost $200 ended up buying Apple care with that saved money. Great service too

I had to think hard about changing over from the Droid, but really...with a Mac desktop, and an iPad...it was a no brainer. I did have have a bit of a problem in the first day syncing, as I thought the directions were confusing.
The calendars sync up without a hitch between all three of my devices (a major deal for my business and a big problem with my previous phone). Hotspot ability was a strong reason for me to buy as well. Everything I like about the iPad is right there on the phone. I didn't think I needed higher memory as I have the iPad for memory sucking apps and programs. Siri is pretty amazing and fairly reliable. I like how easy the voicemail retrieval is. Can't say I like the keyboard for texting after having the droid "swype", which is much faster. But I do like having the same texting ability on all three of my devices. Having the iPhone for over a month now, I can say I am very happy with my choice.

So glad I upgraded from iPhone 4S. I was skeptical that there was enough upgrades to justify renewing my contract with VZW, but glad I did. LTE is amazing! I'm one of the rare owners that doesn't keep it in a case, and I'm in love with how light and sexy it feels/looks! Quite faster processor and camera is noticeably faster. I wasn't sure the slightly bigger screen was going to be noticeable, but it really is. I've had android devices in the past but there is just no comparison to Apple hardware/software! If you are on the fence, I'd definitely recommend taking the plunge. Also was my first phone I bought at Best Buy and I'll never go to the VZW store again. Just an easier and faster transaction!
