Apples:

• iOS 6 is impressively optimised, and offers flawless performance.
• With the right use of aluminium and glass, the iPhone 5 is elegant.
• While the camera hasn't changed much from that on the iPhone 4S, the new Panorama feature is very well-implemented.
• True to its iPod roots, the sound quality is great.
• Compared to its competitors, the phone's battery life is excellent.
• 3D games including Frontline Commando and Real Racing 2 run effortlessly on the new iPhone.
• Apple's app repository offers truckloads of titles.

Lemons:

• At around Rs 45,000, the iPhone 5 is steeply priced.
• Because the screen is bigger, many older apps run letterboxed.
• Apple's Maps are no match for Nokia's or Google's offerings.
• The video player has limited codec support, so you waste a lot of time with converters.
• The "most advanced" phone has no FM Radio.
• It doesn't allow you to share files over Bluetooth.
• There's no USB mass storage mode, leaving you at the mercy of iTunes.
