So what’s the big deal with the iPhone 5?
Some folks have commented: "It is just a bit faster, taller, lighter – no big deal."
Let me tell you one thing: Seeing, no handling and touching is believing. Like so many devices in the past, you have to try it yourself to appreciate it. It is a similar experience as with the original iPhone and iPad.
The minor weight difference actually makes a huge difference in holding and handling the device. It feels unbelievably light and still very sturdy.
The other major take away is speed. It is particularly noticeable in web browsing. (See video below.) The engineering efforts put into the A6 SOC have paid off. It is very impressive!
As expected the build quality is superb. It is a very noticeable improvement over the iPhone 4S. I love great, high quality tools and hardware. The iPhone5 is smoking and takes the crown.
Go check it out for yourself.
