subject: Consider The Iphone 5 When Looking For An Upgrade [print this page] If you are coming to the end of your phone contract and have a chance to upgrade your mobile phone, you should definitely put the new iPhone 5 into consideration. News about the new iPhone 5 broke long before it actually arrived on the market, but now that it is here everyone can't wait to get their hands on Apple's latest product. The iPhone 5 is said tp be bigger and better than anything the smartphone giant has ever released before, and all of the reviews for it have certainly made this statement ring true.
There are a number of changes that those upgrading from the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will instantly notice, and those that have never owned an iPhone before will certainly be impressed. One of the most noticeable changes to the iPhone is its weight - the new iPhone is incredibly light compared to its brothers, weighing just 112g, which means that it has blown other opponents out of the water in terms of weight. The older iPhones weighed a lot more and were quite heavy to handle, but the new iPhone 5 is sleek and lightweight.
The screen size of the iPhone 5 has also gone up a notch - the iPhone 4S had a screen size of 3.5 inches, whereas the new iPhone has increased to 4 inches. While this might not seem like a lot, when using the iPhone it definitely counts and enables users to get more out of their mobile.
The interface for the iPhone 5 is much the same as that of the iPhone 4S, which is good if you would rather not have to re-learn where everything is when upgrading from a previous iPhone model. Those that find themselves glued to social networking sites for most of the day will certainly enjoy the new Facebook integration that the iPhone 5 has been awarded. This enables users to link their Facebook friends within their contacts list, with the smartphone pulling data and information from the user's Facebook profile to do this.
One of the main complaints from users of previous iPhones was that the call quality simply wasn't good enough, but Apple has worked on this for the iPhone 5. When calling someone from an iPhone 5 the recipient of the call will be able to hear the iPhone user loud and clear thanks to the new microphone system that Apple has devised, and FaceTime is still available with the iPhone 5.
