Summary of Apple iPhone 5 Article

Summary of Article Apple iPhone 5

A lot of people post on facebook from there iPhone or smart phones.  Expectations were extremely high for the iPhone 5 and the price is high too as expected.  At 112 grams it is extremely light and lighter than most other smart phones but this makes it feel a bit toy-like.  In the past iPhone’s were heavier giving the impression of a more robust phone and even though this one is so light it does seem strong and takes up less room in a handbag or pocket.

Apple decided to keep the screen at 4 inches so it is possible to hold the phone in one had and scroll all over the screen with that same hand.  This would easier for people with long fingers as the top left hand corner is not that easy to reach.

Both the white version and the anodised black very are good but it only comes second to the HTC One S, which has micro-arc oxidised back and rounded lines.

The sapphire glass it supposed to be very durable to compliment the gorilla glass on the front on the phone.  With the phone being so light it is easy for customers to drop so Apple have tried to make it durable.  Some customers have found the anodised black version prone to scratches and even chips.  Apple have said its natural for aluminium to scratch and chip and there have also been reports of white iPhones being returned because of flaking.  When customers pay this much for a phone they would expect that it wouldn’t get damaged so easily in the first few weeks.  It would be a failure on the part of Apple if it did.  A more advanced antenna gives customers better quality connection and power.  The pin connector has changed to a new Lightening port meaning customers who already have an iPhone have to spend even more money on a new adapter.

The phone sits nicely in the palm of the hand is smooth but that makes it slippy.  As on the iPhone 4S the lock is still loose so you can hear it clicking around while the phone is shaking.  It is a very nice phone but so it should be for the price.

The look of the phone will probably be disappointing for those expecting a big change from the iPhone 4S.  Apple could have given it a look something like Samsung and LG’s OLED TV’s and this could have been a big change for the better.

There is nothing wrong with the current iPhone but maybe Apple are working on a big change for the iPhone 6? 

Apple I Phone have a Facebook page and are advertising the new model on this page but in my opinion in the current economic climate price is one of the biggest considerations designers of phones must take into account and Apple need to look at this if they want to increase sales.
