Coming from ...a Samsung Galaxy Note II I immediately saw a huge difference between the battery life of the iPhone 5 and that of the Galaxy Note II. Battery usually lasts me until noon after disconnecting it at 5:45 AM. I'm trying not to use it as much as my previous phone but I really want to see what the big fuss is about the iPhone 5. I bought it mainly because I know it will keep its price until June or July when (MAYBE) there will be a definite announcement as to what the new iPhone will be like. What I don't like about this phone is the screen size though rumors online suggest that the next iPhone will sport a 4.8 inch to a bigger than life whooping 6" screen (seems like a myth though). I don't picture the next iPhone with an XPERIA Z Ultra sized screen in the next year as many sites are suggesting will be the case. One of the things I do like about this phone its the responsiveness with which apps work and processes run within the iOS. Even if its not the latest iPhone still gets things done and a big plus is that it doesn't lag at all.
Th...e only reason that I bought this iPhone 5 (Sprint locked, on January 16, 2015) was to sign up with the FreedomPop for its free basic plan (free 200 minutes talk, 200 texts, and 500 MB data per month). The sign up process was straightforward and the phone worked just fine. I bought a second one after Feb 15, 2015 for the same purpose, but I could not get it to pass the "Sprint Financial Eligibility check" during sing up. So I was not able to use it with Freedompop. The phone is excellent, but Sprint made it difficult to activate with its own MVNO now.
Great phone, easy to use. Love the storage space (32gb). Batt...ery last all day if just used for texting and calling. Certain apps seem to eat up battery life pretty quick. Overall great phone and if you ever can't figure something out you can just ask Siri.
Its a nice iphone 5 touchscreen delivered on time just as always. Thank You .....Blynn

What to say, it... is i iPhone with a slightly taller screen and a new connection cable. But in truth, it does seem to connect faster than previous versions and the maps are a work in progress. pros: bluetooth seems to work with about everything out there, while teh androids are hit and miss with a lot of cars that are more than a year or so old, facetime if you have friends or family with apple products, and the battery seems to last better than my android. cons: the LTE networks for some companies is not yet complete (especially if you have Sprint and live outside Texas), you have to have a adapter for most devices that hook up to it now, and one you NEED to know if you have a car audio system with iPhone connect is that the iPhone 5 signal is digital and will no longer work with video to the head unit screen for things like navigation even with the app installed. I was told that this will not change unless the head units start doing HD screens and digital video signals.
