-Thin

Cons -Still not to 4.6" screen - but that's not a complaint about the performance or usage of this product.

Summary I have purchased every iPhone the day it was released. This is by far the one I was least excited about, but after using it for a couple weeks it is the best generation upgrade with the iPhone yet. Telling you it's light and thinner doesn't really mean much until you have it in your hand. This thing is light, thin, but doesn't feel cheap like Samsung products (no plastic here please). Everything is as expected from the flagship Apple prodcut - amazing screen, iOS6 dominated Android, solid construction, best App store, easiest user interface, and best customer service company in the world. The only complaints people have is - Apple Maps (it will fix itself over time and 99% of people haven't had an issue, they just want to complain - I love the Apple Maps!) and that Verizon/Sprint you can't use voice and data at the same time (that's a carrier issue).

I would never consider any other phone - there isn't one thing someone else is offering that I need that I can't find in the iPhone. Are there improvements to made? Sure, if not then Apple would never have to produce a new iPhone ever again. But those issues are minor and are forgotten once you're using this phone on a daily basis. I've never once had an issue with Apple Maps or anything else people complain about. My battery life is amazing and I'm a heavy user.

Pros Almost everything - Camera is 2nd to none. IOS is so much more stable then Android OS. So much faster then my IPhone 4. LTE is great.

Cons I would have like to see a slightly bigger screen. But, I understand that I have bigger hands than a lot of people so I get what Apple was trying to do.

Summary I am not seeing the issues with the Maps app that others are seeing and I have used it a fair amount already. I had more frustration with the Google Maps program so this was a welcome upgrade for me. However, I am seeing it so much in the reviews I trust there are problems. Very very happy with the other upgrades, LTE is great, speed overall is great. Camera is just awesome. The look and feel of the phone is the best since the 1st Gen. Iphone. New earphones sound great but the old ones fit my ear a little better for me. Siri is fun to mess around with, but still a little inconsistent. For those who loved Google Maps and youTube apps, Youtube app is already available and the Google maps one is already with Apple for approval so be patient, everything will be OK.

Pros Silky smooth operating system. The Lemmings principle created a very diverse selection of apps

Cons I still hate Apple. Their stuff is just too good to ignore. But if you want specifics it took a while for me to avoid the total control of all my personal information the phone was trying to extract. That is specific as I can get.

Summary My rating is incomplete as you can see but the iPhone 5 is my Goldilocks cell: Not too fat, not too small, can do all my on the go browsing and even make a phone call if you still do that kind of thing. Plus the chicks dig it.

Pros Device is great as an ipod touch. Amazing Screen. Fast. Good if you are within wifi.

Cons On Sprint it is at BEST 3G, often NO G. Sometimes I cannot even text. This is from mainline communities, not the sticks.

Summary Buy an ipod touch or ipad, but not this phone on Sprint. It might work well on other networks, I don't know.
