Apple iPhone 5 Review

Apple iPhone 5 is a breath-taking iOS device launched back in the year 2012, with a high performance Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1300 megahertz, a 4-inches multi-touch display, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera.

This phone is equipped with a Apple A6 system chip, backed up by an extremely powerful Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1.3 GHz with only 1016 MB RAM which is a little bit low considering this phone's great processor. The Apple iPhone 5 counts with a 64 GB amazing internal memory and even though it doesn't come with an SD card slot, it is still enough to store lots of applications, games, photos and videos without having to worry about how much storage capacity is left.

Apple sells this cellphone in two different colors: black and white. Apple didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 3.95 oz device. Regarding its aspect, this cellphone is mostly built with Aluminium, which gives it a top level feel. The iPhone 5 is just 0.3" thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium.

This phone has a completely amazing 1136 x 640 4" screen, which makes everything look beautiful and brightful. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a brightness of 500 candela/m² and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. It can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. The camera also features a lot of amazing features: auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, HDR mode, geo tagging and time lapse video.

The iPhone 5 counts with Wi-Fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) fast data connection and also HSPA+ connection type, a bit slower 4G type and 3G fast connection type, using HSDPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. The iPhone 5 uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services and it can connect using both GSM and CDMA.

The iPhone 5 also features a handful of nice features as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device features a 1440 mAh medium capacity Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for some hours, although you will probably need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. This cellphone has an estimated stand by time of 225 hours and a talk time of 8 hours according to Apple. A big issue to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to lose its charge, having to change the whole phone or maybe take the device to an expert who can disassemble it and switch its battery.

Apple offers this phone for 600 dollars, which is expensive for this type of phone. If you you love taking photos, are looking for a phone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a work phone or want a gamer cellphone, you will definitely love this phone. Apple sells this phone with Documentation, Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, USB Power Adapter and Lightning to USB Cable.
