Apple’s iPhone 5 (2012): A Full Review – Part 2

Other smartphones beat it on features here and there: if you want a larger screen, go with a Samsung Galaxy S3. If you want better battery life, go with a Droid Razr Maxx. But Apple offers more battery life than most of the handsets out there with the crispest resolution in the market. The screen is not the biggest but when it comes to utility phones are not made for video games and movies only. The same width of the phone, rightly said by Philip Schiller, allows for one hand to be used for most of the apps like SMS, phone call and even simple navigation through menus.

That’s not all, though: the already great camera’s been subtly improved, speakerphone and noise-canceling quality has been tweaked, and — as always — iOS 6 brings a host of other improvements, including baked-in turn-by-turn navigation, a smarter Siri, and Passbook, a location-aware digital wallet app for storing documents like gift cards, boarding passes, and tickets.

The question is: a full year later, is that enough? For me, it is. I don’t want much more in my smartphone. Sure, I’d love a new magical technology to sink my teeth into, but not at the expense of being useful. Right now, I’m not sure what that technology would even be.

Like every year in the iPhone’s life cycle, a handful of important new features take the spotlight. This time, 4G, screen size, and redesign step to the top.

You’ve gotten the full rundown already, most likely, on the various ins and outs of this phone, or if you haven’t, I’ll tell you about them below in greater detail. Here’s what I noticed right away, and what made the biggest impression on me.
