Right, where to begin.......well, I'll keep it simple because if you are seriously considering an iphone 5 you probably know the tech specs inside out....I always do my research before I spend that hard earned cash, so no more ramblings.

Simple really, it is the best mobile on the market to date and utterly the best phone I have ever owned (and I've owned quite a few of the premium rival phones) In all honesty all the other manufacturers phones are useable and competent....however, they all feel a little unfinished or cheap, or the operating system they run is a real let down......not so with the apple iphone 5.....it is the best engineered piece of kit you will hold in your hand for a long time to come, the weight feels good, by no means heavy but reassuringly weighty enough to know the quality is there, the feel of the finely machined body.....a sleek item indeed.

Apple said that although the screen was a fair bit taller than it's predecessor, all the screen would still be accessible with the thumb and this is true... that added real estate makes for a much roomier display and what a display it is....crystal clear is the understatement of the century.

Excellent camera, with superb editing features onboard.....essentially the iphone is every bit of apple's expertise and cool in terms of its other products all rolled into one, you really feel like you have a genuinely powerful computer in your hand.

Apps wise...self explanatory, millions available and rising but as far as on board apps out of the box, all good... maps works excellently, I actually used it on foot to get me to a friends house in one of these maze like housing estates they build these days...spot on...

Basically it really is like having a full functioning laptop in your pocket, everything on or in it works superbly and seamlessly, the pinnacle of apple's technological ascent....

Expensive? yes..... beautiful? most definitely...... worth it? absolutely!!!!!!!
