iPhone 5

           iPhone 5

            The iPhone 5 is developed by Apple Inc. Its is the sixth generation of I phones. Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5 on September 14,2012. The iPhone 5 was in such high demand selling over 2 million iPhone's in just two days. On September 21.2012  the iPhone 5 was released.
             The reception to the iPhone 5 generally has positive reviews. The applications received negative reviews due to numerous errors. There have been reports from hardware issues as well. There have been reports of purple hues to photos that are taken with the iPhone 5. The coating of the iPhone 5 has also been known to chip and peal.





 The presence of leaks on from the device were also presence. There was a lot of incompatibility with LTE networks in various networks. As stated by Wikipedia (2012) "The iPhone 5 was officially discontinued by Apple on September 10, 2013 in favor of 2 new iPhone models, the iPhone 5C, a budget model iPhone using most of the internals of the iPhone 5, and the iPhone 5S, the successor to the iPhone 5. Since Apple did not keep the iPhone 5 on as their budget model, it is the second shortest-sold iPhone to date with 355 days on the market, behind the original iPhone which was on the market for 347 days." When I picked up the iPhone 5 I realized it was much lighter and fit comfortably into my hand. It possesses a 4 inch screen for those who do not want a larger phone.
I rate this phone as a 4/5 stars as it has it's flaws it has its pro's as well.
