iPhone 5 review
Apple's latest smartphone gets a bigger screen, LTE, and more power — but does it keep the crown?
Ah, to review the
iPhone 5; what a blessing, and what a curse. It's actually funny to
think that there was a time not that long ago that the iPhone wasn't
even a thing, let alone an iconic part of pop culture. A time
when an Apple-made phone was just a fantasy; a blogger's fever-dream; a
secret glimmer in the eye of Steve Jobs and his team of engineers and
designers.
But the iPhone has become very
real. In fact, it's grown up, moved out, and taken over the world. Well,
half the world anyhow. These days the iPhone isn't just components on a
breadboard in a lab in Cupertino, it's the device by which all others
are measured. And that makes for some interesting measuring indeed.
The new iteration of Apple's
phone is everything it should be: faster, smarter, thinner, and lighter.
It boasts LTE data speeds, improved cameras, a larger screen with a
higher resolution, and a design which — while not groundbreaking — is
unquestionably beautiful. But it's also very much the iPhone you've seen
before. Apple's iOS 6 software is not a leap forward, but a small jump,
and the phone design is an evolution of the iPhone 4S, not a
revolutionary new spin.
