iPhone 5 Full Review Part 1

iPhone 5 Full Review Part 1 - Today Iím going to be giving my review on Appleís new iPhone 5. The 6th generation iPhone comes in at a skinny 7.6mm, thatís about 2 millimetres thinner than the 4S and 1 millimetre thinner than the Galaxy S3. Instead of making the phone bigger like a chubby Android phone Apple made it slightly longer but not that much by making the top and bottom bezel smaller and this iPhone 5ís gain in height is great to help bring the ear speaker and bottom mic closer to you ear and mouth for an improved phone call experience, but the best thing that the longer design allows is the gorgeous 4î display that not only keeps its retina quality with the same amount of pixels and width horizontally but it also has bump in contrast ratio making the display much more lifelike and crisp.

And unlike most Android phones with bloated displays on the iPhone it is still as easy on the old iPhone to type text messages but the horizontal keyboard is a bit more stretched out which took me some time to get used to. The retina display has been lengthened enough to achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio that is perfect for Post buffs that can now watch widescreen YouTube Posts and Movies without those annoying black bars at the top and compared to the iPhone 4S the iPhone 5ís display is massive when viewing Posts. A downfall of this is that it can make browsing a bit awkward with the wider display when you turn it sideways itís akin to looking through the world through a slit.

The Facetime camera has also been moved to be above the ear speaker. Now to the back of the device with its new, two toned design looks stunning with an aluminium slate middle and gorilla glass on the top and bottom for signal passage for the iPhoneís vast array of transmitters. Compared to the 4S that was so remarkably weak that it could be shattered with only one drop apple made a remarkable improvement with the iPhone 5 with it being so strong from drop tests we could see that the iPhoen 5 beat the Galaxy S3 and the 4S by a longshot being able to be dropped myltiple times without any damage and I can vouch for this with my iPhone 5 having had a pretty bad drop and coming out with no problems. That ís not the best thing about the design though itís so light that it feels almost hollow and this plus the colouring make it akin to a candy bar but just a warning, donít take a bite out of it because it scratches very easily.

After only one day of having my iPhone 5 I put it in my pocket where I always used to put my iPhone 4 without any problems and when I took it out it had a massive scratch on the side bezel where the black colouring has been removed to reveal the metal structure. Now to the bottom where you can see some big changes. The headphone jack has been moved from the top of the device to the bottom where it belongs that makes it a lot easier to take out of your pocket and to allow this change was the move from the old outdated connector that Apple has been using for a decade to the new 8-pin connector that Apple dubs Lightning but despite the name it is barely any faster than the old one which was fairly disappointing.
