Internally the iPhone 5 boasts an upgraded dual core processor and system memory, and has an increased screen resolution. The camera has been improved and LTE has been made available. Additionally the iOS 6 software update was released in conjunction with the i5, allowing for more features and apps. However, I'd like to focus on the physical functions of the i5.
I was among the skeptics who believed an upgrade would be rather useless, however, the moment I was able to test one out, my mind was changed. Right off the bat, you can notice a much more comfortable weight to the i5. The less chunky size also allows a much more pleasant one-hand grip. I could care less about the .5 inch extension, however, although it's still a perk.
Finally, I'd like to touch on the new "Lightning connector." It created a bit of a stir in making all previous Apple-compatible products obsolete. But honestly, these people need to calm down keeping in mind they were the ones complaining about the original 30-pin connector. It'll be a short matter of time for these obsolete products to be cycled out, and its functionality (easier, faster, and reversible connection), I find, is worth the trouble in the long run.
All things considered, I'd say the iPhone 5 is a buy (7.5/10 rating) if you have a hole burning in your pocket.
Dear Benjamin,
ReplyDeleteI think your review talked about the important aspects of the new iPhone but it wasn't specific enough. I feel like you're just stating the positives instead of explaining your rational. Always give three details for ever point you make. Since this is a review and your opinion will sway the reader in some way, try to be more persuading. Also try to explain the technology in layman's terms.
Finally, don't be afraid to show your personality in your text!
