iPhone 5
So it's officially been almost a week with the iPhone 5. I must say I'm quite impressed. The speed of this thing is insane... On AT&T's LTE it's approximately 6x faster than when I connect to my Comcast connection via wifi. The taller screen is nicer to look at but tougher to swipe downward to pull down the notification screen with one hand while you're driving.
It's extremely light weight, very thin... The anodized aluminum back has a very silky, high quality feel in your hand. It's very delicate feeling, so if you drop it you're very likely fucked. The phone simply looks like it means business. The new connector has a great feel, is extremely tiny, and is reversible.
Battery life over my 4S is head and shoulders better. The 5 will make it through an entire 24 hours with 8 hours of usage... The 4S needed to be charged half way through the day.
The front facing camera does 720p for FaceTime now.
I consider it a definite worthwhile purchase if iPhones are your style. You can't really go wrong with it.
