Apple currently offers many variants in the iPhone series. But, the most popular one is the iPhone 5. This shiny new gadget is generating millions for the Cupertino-based mobile phone maker. It is touted as one of the most powerful handsets in the market. But, should you spend a huge amount to purchase this handset. Lets try to answer this question.

First, the iPhone 5 is clearly thinner and lighter than the last version. It is also taller, and more convenient to hold in your hands as well. The exterior is made from brushed aluminum, while in the iPhone 4S a glass surface was used. Observing at both smartphones, anyone can make out that there are several similarities, like similar volume control keys, similar mute switches, microphones, etc. Interestingly, it uses nano SIM card slot instead of the micro SIM slot. Moreover, a new sleeker lightning docking port has been included in the handset.

Apple iPhone 5 flaunts a much-bigger 4-inch display producing 640 x 1136 pixels, which is way better than the previous generation iPhone. As a result, colors appear much warmer and everything else more saturated. In addition, the 4 Retina display retains its clarity even in direct sunlight and different viewing angles. Nowadays, when users spend a lot of time with their handsets, a high-resolution display becomes very important.

Now, lets talk about the clicking capabilities of this handset. It comes with a compelling 1.3 MP snapper at the front, which makes for an improved video calling experience. The 8 MP camera at the front is perfect for clicking pictures and shooting videos. Additional attributes include a revamped lens, backside illuminated sensor, and a sapphire-glass encasing. Nowadays, most users dont purchase a separate digital camera, since their smartphones have become much powerful. Thus, the iPhone 5 is a perfect camera phone.

The show-stealer feature in the iPhone 4S is the Siri. Even in the latest variant, Siri is present. But, this time its more powerful. Still, we wont advice anyone to trust it for any crucial tasks. This feature will take some more updates to become useful.

Overall, we believe that the iPhone 5 is a good smartphone. First, the handset is a nice update to the last versions design. We just loved the taller screen, which makes for a great viewing experience. It also comes with lots of new attributes.
