Review Summary

This is the summary of consumer reviews for Apple iPhone 5. The BoolPool rating for this product is Good, with 3.70 stars, and the price range is $199.00-$849.00 (Based on memory and contract).

Apple iPhone5 is the latest in the iPhone line and boasts a larger 4- inch Retina display, a faster A6 chip, the latest wireless technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and more. iPhone 5 measures a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams. It features LTE wireless technology for speed and ultrafast connectivity. iPhone 5 supports more networks all over the world. That includes advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA.

With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on iPhone 5 is noticeably faster — up to twice as fast compared with the A5 chip. So apps launch, web pages load, and email attachments appear almost instantly. The A6 chip also offers graphics performance that’s up to twice as fast as the A5. So you can power through graphics-intensive apps and games. And enjoy higher frame rates for smoother, more realistic gameplay. iPhone 5 has more than enough battery power to last throughout the day — up to 8 hours of browsing on a cellular connection, up to 8 hours of talk time, and up to 10 hours of video playback time.

The iSight camera in iPhone 5 is the world’s favorite camera. The new panorama feature lets you capture everything from a family reunion group photo to a jaw-dropping shot of the Grand Canyon. With one smooth motion you can shoot up to an impressive 240 degrees. The gyroscope, A6 chip, and Camera app work together to create one seamless, high-resolution panorama up to 28 megapixels.

Many reviewers miss the NFC on iPhone 5. Apple's Map app is not good and not liked by many users. iPhone 5 does not compare well to some Android phones available in the market.

Overall, Apple iPhone 5 is one of the most popular and favorite smartphones available in the market. iPhone owners love their phone because it is simple and easy to use
