| About This Brand |
|---|
There's only one product line to choose from, and only one new model is introduced each year. These models complement their sleek, trend-setting designs and intuitively simple operation with top-notch displays, cameras, and music players. They also provide superb ease of use via a highly interactive multitouch screen and a customizable icon-driven interface. Newer iPhone models have a fascinating, built-in voice-activated "assistant" called Siri that's fairly good at following complex orders. iPhone 5, the first iPhone with a 4-inch display and support for fast 4G LTE data networks, is the best one yet. Consumer Reports has recommended every iPhone model except the iPhone 4, which had a signal-reception problem confirmed during testing. |

I love the iPhone 5. I've owned every model iPhone and this one was the biggest step forward. Battery life and speed exceptional. Screen blows away other smartphones. The camera takes better pictures than my digital camers. Love the iCloud syncing with my work & home computers... too many people I know don't take full advantage of this feature. I hope to be a life-long iPhone owner - i.e. keep on innovating Apple.

I had the iPhone 4 for 2 years before I got the iPhone 5 and before that I had many differnt android OS phones. After getting my first iPhone and learning all the features on it...I was hooked. It was way better than all the android phones I had before. The biggest advantage of iPhones are that it is way more user friendly than the android OS and overall way better built. <br />The iPhone 5 had some hits and misses compared to my iPhone 4. They improved on the screen resolution and the camera is heads above any other phone out there. The processor is faster but if you use 4G instead of 3G you can expect about half the battery life. The new noise cancellation on the iPhone 5 is a bust in my opinion. they designed it so it would cut out background noise but it also cuts out your voice and the voice on the other end if the background noise is loud enough. I operate heavy equipment so this effects me more than I like. The other pitfall is the maps. They opted not to use Google maps anymore and go with their own and I would not want to count on it to get me where I wanted to go. Google maps were the best but i'm sure it was a money dispute that kept them off the iPhone 5. Overall if you want a phone that you can enjoy using with ease and for the most part out performs all the other smart phones out there...iPhone would be a wise choice! Try it once and You'll be hooked also.

My first iphone ever and I use it for everyday life! i get up, i check my phone and email. I then have my phone on me all day for internet use and of course communicating. The battery life is amazing! I had an android and I would charge it twice a day and still worry about my battery at the end of the night. the iphone can go 2 days with 1 charge. Do not believe consumer reports when they say the galaxy has better battery life. ! Best battery life I have ever seen on a phone is with apple! hands down<br /><br />I dont not care for the fact that I can use an android device as an external hard drive but I cannot do that with an iphone. It was extremely simple to drag and drop videos, office documents, and apps via a usb cable with an android phone. I can not do that with an iphone and I'm hoping I can find an application that will let me do so. Also, the phone gets scratched incredibly fast! Literally 2 days after purchasing the phone the paint was coming off the aluminum and I treated it like a baby. Get a case for the phone before you even take it out of the box! no joke!
