This is my first Smartphone, though my wife has had a Windows phone for several months and I have used it some. The iPhone 5 is a great little smartphone. Actually, this one is black, not white. I have only had it for a week or two and I only got it hooked up to a cellular plan today, so I have limited experience. My biggest problem with the iPhone 5 is the narrowness of the keys on the keyboard. Also, the backspace is right next to the "m" so many times when I want to type "m" I end up deleting the last character typed. Also, the characters on the keyboard don't change from lower- to upper-case when you put the keyboard in shift mode. (Actually, they're always in upper case.) Also, I got a bit spoiled by the standard "Back" button (just to the left of the home button) on the Windows phone. Also, I was surprised that the home button requires physical depression, not just a tap as the Nokia Lumia phones do. Otherwise, I have to say this thing is a little marvel, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I have a Mac with OS X Yosemite and I'm enjoying the close interconnection and interoperation between the iPhone 5 under iOS 8 and the Mac, which is why I bought it despite the fact that it seems that you can get more features for less on most Android machines with similar quality. Overall, however, I'm excited and looking forward to using it for many years.Read full review
It arrived quickly to my door, but it is not in a great cosmetic condition, and most of all, the display has a problem, because a center half of the screen is colored with very light purple, but it doesn't bother much to identify objects and letters on the screen, so if you expect it as great one, please think about it again. I don't want to spend my energy/time/money for a return process, because sometime an internet seller is not kind for return, so i just want to keep it and use it as it is. Update one-week after starting using it : the display problem is not much issue to use this phone right now, if its background is not a white color. But the mute button on the up right side of the phone is malfunctioning and damaged inside. If I shake the phone, I can listen to a sound around the mute button, maybe a part was broken off away from main body inside, and i think the broken part is running around inside, as making sound.Read full review

I wasn't sure about switching from android to Apple - but it wasn't a big deal. I have 5 batteries for my s3 so I don't have to be wired in constantly. If you don't use the Apple 5 the battery lasts a good amount of time and the battery charges in about an hour. I haven't been able to get online while on a call with Apple - or even use the hot spot while on a call. All the apps are pretty much the same and some I like the layout more in Apple. I still use my s3 for audible and podcasts - videos etc- the high battery usage stuff. Maybe Apple is more secure? Oh yeah, The keyboard takes some getting used to as I'm writing this on a Swype on my android. You can get other keyboards for Apple but they all say that whatever you type is transmitted to the maker. Hmm. Just like what I'm using now? Passwords etc? Oh well.Read full review

This phone was a replacement from my old iPhone 3. I love everything about this new phone. I especially like the map app that talks me thru EVERY turn perfectly to any unknown destination. The panoramic camera is flat out amazing! I could go on...like talking a text message instead of typing it, but I wouldn't want to comment about ALL the new features! Too much to say. :-)
