hey guys this is Austin and today me with a review of the iPhone 5 with a larger screen LTE and some of the best Hardware period is the new iPhone for you to start with we have to go over the design in pictures it looks just like the iPhone 4 and 4s but in person it's a huge change the first thing I noticed was just how light it is even though it's larger it weighs 20% less build quality is also absolutely top-notch with incredibly fine tolerances and more importantly an excellent feel take the rear for example it's now mostly aluminum with glass on top and bottom which works really nicely in the hand I think Druce ended up nicely as it really is slimmer lighter and sleeker in a major way on bottom you'll see the new Lightning port which is much smaller and reversible however if you've got 30-pin docks and cables you're going to need adapters the headphone jack has also been moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5 not a big deal to me but it's something not everyone is a fan of up front you'll find a larger 4-inch display with a resolution of 11 36 by 640 and immediately you'll notice it makes a big difference the added height gives you more screen real estate to work with which is something the iPhone has been needing for quite a while it's not all perfect however apps need to be updated to work with the iPhone 5s larger screen if not they revert to a smaller size with letterboxing something I found strange is that iOS really doesn't take advantage of the larger screen notifications still cover up the top of whatever you're doing and the experience feels like Apple just stretched iOS to fit rather than tailor to really use the larger size iOS 6 comes pre-installed on the iPhone 5 and is honestly my biggest letdown technically it's faster than ever and there are numerous bits of Polish edit but the improvements are minor Alcona puts it best I think the hardware is great but the software lets it down Google Maps and YouTube were removed in exchange for Apple maps there are a few improvements like turn-by-turn directions and a new 3d view but for the most part it doesn't match up with Google Maps app select passbook are meant to make it easy to use your iPhone for boarding passes tickets and more but without NFC it's more of a novelty iOS 6 isn't broken but it's absolutely lacking innovation compared to Windows Phone and Android internally you'll find a new Apple a6 dual-core processor clocked at 1.2 gigahertz paired with 1 gigabyte of RAM here I have to say I'm impressed this is the fastest system on a chip you'll find in any photo tablet out right now with a GPU on par with the iPad 3 gaming is impressive with enough horsepower to run even the most demanding games without breaking a sweat once games like Real Racing 3 come out you can expect near console quality graphics on your phone in day-to-day use there's definitely a difference although opinions vary on how much most people feel it's not a massive improvement over the already fast iPhone 4s although upgrades from the iPhone 4 tended to be much more rest from the 3GS it's really no contest one of the big additions is LTE which unlike on the iPhone 4s is true for G speeds here are really impressive as the better the most home connections and I can see LTE being worth the upgrade alone for a lot of people with the bigger screen more powerful specs in LTE battery life is actually quite a bit better even with fairly heavy usage including calls shooting video and gaming and was easily able to get through a day and I don't think it's a stretch at all to get two days out of a charge with more average use the rear camera is mostly unchanged with the same eight megapixel camera with 1080p video recording there have been upgrades in the optics but for the most part it's the same quality from the iPhone 4s it's one of the best smartphone cameras out there but probably not for long with phones like the Nokia Lumia 920 on the horizon video is also still solid but nothing spectacular as it still doesn't autofocus on its own unless you tap to focus one nice improvement is that you can take pictures while recording video and the camera will take pictures about as fast as you can hit the shutter button panorama mode is also included although it's hardly a groundbreaking feature the bigger change is with the front-facing camera which has been upgraded to 1.2 megapixels and shoots in 720p it's nothing on the rear camera but for video chatting or recording a quick clip it's really not bad like Tim said I think it will make a nice improvement for vloggers the iPhone 5 is a solid upgrade and easily the best one yet with LTE a bigger screen improved battery life and an outstanding design I don't have a problem recommending this at all what it doesn't do is present a great case to switch from Android or Windows Phone while the hardware is top-notch iOS is in serious need of an overhaul as it feels clunky and intuitive much of the time put simply the iPhone 5 is one of the best phones out there and an easy choice for a lot of people but it's not the best phone for everyone if you enjoyed and really appreciate if you could leave this video a thumbs
