IOS is still mostly uncustomisable. Design isn't as nice to hold as it is to look at. No HDMI
Micro USB or memory expansion
Unless you pay for adapters. No NFC
Scratches and chips easily
Poor battery life
Extra screen size isn't always utilised
High price
Poor maps
Ageing OS
Lightning connector incompatible with older peripherals
LTE support is great to (finally) have, and it's fast where coverage is good, The "light and thin" quotient is bordering on "we live in the future" territory, More rows of icons on the home screen because of the bigger screen: minor, but we'll take it
iPhone 4S owners may have a hard time justifying an upgrade just yet, No USB 3.0 even though Apple's newest notebooks support it
The iPhone 5 didn't come with a few features some wanted, such as support for near field communications (NFC), micro-USB, an SD card reader, a fingerprint scanner, USB 3.0 support, etc. But Apple has always favored simplicity over a kitchen-sink approach...

The iPhone 5 is as ever a thoroughly enjoyable and capable smartphone. It's easy and fun to use and it's secure and stable. The latest generation model clearly gives users what they wanted (look how many have sold): LTE 4G and a larger display. While ...
Beautiful design, Polished user interface, Audio jack on bottom of phone, Larger "Retina" screen, Fast 4G LTE service
Lightning connector adapter MIA, iOS lagging behind Android in some areas, Screen is taller but not wider, Weak battery life, Poor Google services integration (and getting worse)
The iPhone 5 has a lot to prove. While it's definitely the best iPhone to date in most respects, a number of small issues hold it back from being the undisputed dominant phone this year. iOS app problems, awkward power button placement, a cramped screen...
Limited features with its Maps app, No major improvements in the platform experience
Undeniably, the iPhone 5 is the most highly anticipated smartphone of the year – rightfully so considering that this sixth-generation sees one major design overhaul! For some time now, the competition has been leaping over the iPhone 4S’ specs sheet, ...
No simultaneous talk and data connection. New Maps app needs a lot of work. Many third-party apps are not designed for the new screen yet
With a sublime, but familiar design inside and out, a speedy new processor, fast LTE, and the best apps in the business, the new iPhone is like the old iPhone, just much better....

Especially because so many of the new features of the iPhone 5 leaked before it was released, many people may have been underwhelmed by the changes made for the iPhone 5. Granted, none of the changes are earth shattering or haven't been seen before in o...
