The most amazing iPhone since iPhone

After about two months of waiting on the line, I finally received my iPhone 5 last week. It took me almost everyday to check Apple's, Optus' and Virgin's website for the famous iPhone 5. Apple can take about.a month to ship, Optus was still out of stock while Virgin has very limited stock. I decided to go with Virgin because I can't wait for another month or so. I have been with the iPhone 4 for almost two years so you probably know the feeling.

I ordered the iPhone 5 in White and Silver with a 32gb capacity. I decided to go with the white and silver even though am I really in love with black iPhone's because of the reviews and feedbacks I've been reading online. The black and slate that can be easily prone to scratches revealing the silver aluminium in the corner and sides of the iPhone 5 according to the reviews while some customers complained about the scratches while the black and slate iPhone 5 were still in the box and has not been used yet. It turns out to be true because I decided to take a trip to the Apple Retail Store and observed that the black and slate iPhone 5 has silver scratches on it. It sucks but the users has got to live with it since it's the result of the new, improved design.

The first time I opened my iPhone 5 the first thing I checked was the corner and sides of it. That's just me I guess, I want my iPhone to be perfect. Luckily, there were no scratches or whatsoever. Although I can probably say that the sides and corner are not that comfortable compared to the old ones. It has like a material that can cause a cut on your skin feeling, like you will be aware that it is not as flawless. I don't think it is a problem though as no one complained about it. I haven't had a chance to feel the new back design yet as I decided to leave the plastic that is protecting it. While the new and improved design is great, it is not that perfect yet.

The annoying rattling sound that has been occuring since the iPhone 4 is still present when you tap the back part near the camera of the iPhone 5. Apple has not released an official statement about why it occurs yet but some users and experts are guessing it is the vibrator or the zoom of the camera that has been causing the sound. It doesn't affect the performance of the iPhone 5 though so that is all that matters.

The performance, compared to the old iPhones, was completely amazing. It is fast and for me the battery lasts longer compared to my iPhone 4. While it can still be improved, I would not want my iPhone 5 in any other way. Due to its large screen though, some applications like youtube, appears in the middle of the screen. I hope apps are yet to be updated to suit the iPhone 5 screen really well. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook suits the large screen so it is not a problem for users who regularly use the apps mentioned.

It may not be the best smartphone out in the market today but my fellow Apple lovers sure is completely contented until the next new iPhone is revealed. With its larger screen and lighter weight, for me, it's the best mobile phone I've owned.

Later, lovers.
