hey guys johnathan it was TLD since the iPhone 5 launched I've been getting so many questions on it is of worth the upgrade how's the 4 inch Retina display LG LTE is camera better how is the Lightning port so I'm going to give you guys my initial 24 hour experience with it and hopefully answer as many of those questions as I can now me personally the first thing that came to my mind when I picked up the iPhone 5 for the first time was holy this thing is light like no joke it almost feels too light but at the same time it is built ridiculously solid was the love Apple or you hate Apple if you think iOS 6 is boring I can dig that I can see why but you cannot argue with the beauty of these phones the attention to detail just the craftsmanship half of you wants to put them in a case to protect them but the other half you doesn't want to because they look so good and you couldn't see the phone otherwise next up is the 4 inch Retina display which is a little weird at first for me if I could be honest it took a little bit getting used to and I've used the galaxy s3 for a while it's even bigger but for some reason I think I was so used to the 3.5 inch screen on the previous iPhones that because this was longer it threw me off a little bit at first after using it for a few hours you don't even think twice about it but you do appreciate the extra screen real estate most noticeably you'll see an extra row of icons on your home page and due to the fact that this is a 16 by 9 aspect ratio no longer do we see those little black bars across the screen you get to see the full movie so movies look damn good in the screen is definitely more vibrant now one of the other big additions to the iPhone 5 is the a6 processor which is still dual-core CPU but don't be fooled it is wicked fast on Geekbench I got a score of over 1600 which more than doubles the iPhone 4s and actually even beat out my US version of the galaxy s3 everything is quick zippy responsive it tears through games here's a little footage from asphalt 7 and you can see this is optimized fully for the iPhone 5 display so we get the full 11 36 by 640 resolution no lag graphics look great I also did a video on this game wild blood which is also optimized for the iPhone 5 explain it looks immensely awesome you got to check this game out if you have an iPhone 5 the graphics look sick now in addition to the 4-inch display and the a6 processor the other huge addition to the iPhone 5 is LTE if you do have LTE in your area it is crazy fast with verizon test and I was getting consistent speeds of 30 down 20 up which is faster than most home connections I personally don't have LTE for 18t in my area but I was in San Diego over the weekend with the galaxy s3 and was getting speeds of like 50 down it was nuts so if you do have AT&T or Verizon if you do have LTE speeds they are crazy fast like I said now as far as battery life goes even with LTE I found it to be better than the iPhone 4s even when getting it for the first time not charging it at all it lasted pretty much the whole day after that I charged it up 200% unplugged it and left it off through the night and I've heard horror stories with the iPhone 4s or you'd go to sleep with a hundred percent battery wake up and be drained down to like 30% this actually only drained from 100 to 97% so definitely passed the test there now some more tweaks to the phone is the removal of the old 30 pin connector and the addition of the Lightning port and I agree it's a pain in the ass to get all those adapters but it's got to change sometime it's not a huge deal to me and I do like the fact that now you can just plug it in not worry about ripping it out and not even worry about which way is right you just plug it in and it goes it's all digital so it works no matter which way you plug it in also the headphone jack is no longer at the top it is now on the bottom of the phone that's all out of the Galaxy Nexus so I'm not saying Apple innovated it or this is their invention or creation but I do like the fact that the headphone jack is now at the bottom because it doesn't get in the way or cover your screen that leads me to the next improvement was the ear pods because the old apple headphones absolutely sucked so I did review these actually about a week ago they sound night and day better than the old headphones so the fact that they do come with the iPhone 5 is a nice little cherry on top now one of the biggest myth factors on the new iPhone 5 is the rear facing camera it's not a bad camera by any means it's one of the best in the market but for me personally it is one of the least compelling reasons to upgrade from the 4s to the 5 it's still 8 megapixels it's still 1080p yes it's improved it's better in low light is better at auto focusing but it is not drastic enough where I'd say go right now put your iPhone 4s on eBay and upgrade to the iPhone 5 this instant now while the rear facing camera is a huge upgrade the front facing camera now shoots in 720p so let's go ahead and check out some footage alright so we're doing a quick front-facing 720p test I'm not going to bore you guys too long with this but you guys can see for a front-facing camera that you can use with Skype or FaceTime it actually is a huge improvement it does a good job in this aspect now with all that said the iPhone 5 is an awesome phone it's quicker it's lighter it's faster looks amazing but if you are using an iPhone 4s right now I wouldn't really say go out and jump and sell an upgrade at this moment save your money probably wait for the next iteration of the iPhone maybe the iPhone 5s or whatever the hell they're going to call it with iOS 6 really not changing a whole lot it's not going to feel like a completely new experience so with the next iteration with new internals hopefully they revamp iOS that will feel like a new experience if you're coming from an iPhone for a 3GS a 3G or maybe you don't like Android the iPhone 5 is a completely solid and awesome option if you're born with iOS I get that there's tons of great Android phones right now the Galaxy Nexus because of jellybean the galaxy s3 and the HTC One X are all great options just in case you're bored with iOS and you want to check out Android for the first time so hopefully this video helped you in your buying decision if you did enjoy it and
