  • iPhone 5: Smooth Performance coupled with an Excellent Exterior Design and Perfect Premium Looks
    Mohsin S (May 14, 2014) on Gadgets 360
    I have been using the Apple iPhone 5 32 GB since Nov 2012. I have used other smartphones with OS based on Android, BlackBerry and Windows, but no other Smartphone comes closer to iPhone5 from Performance and looks point of view.I have 408 applications present on my iPhone along with almost 600 songs, 76 videos and 905 photos but i have never ever experienced performance lag on my phone while using apps, watching videos. The looks ,exterior built and finishing of iPhone is excellent and at just 112 gm its so lightweight that gives a great feeling and grip while handling the phone and it feels worth of every penny spent to buy the iPhone 5.Next thing best in my iPhone is the sound quality which is best i have heard in all the phones i have been using. The Airplay feature is absolutely great which i use to view the videos and movies on my Apple TV. The ease of use that iOS 7.1.1 on iPhone 5 is great and very simple to use. Integration with iCloud just makes all the things available with ease across my iPhone 4 as well as my iPad device. The security is also great and i never ever felt like installing an Anti-virus software on my iPhone during the use. The 8 MP camera gives excellent image during day and night time and while viewing the clicked images on PC or TV, the quality of image itself speaks for iPhone. Speaking of the Battery life, i have always heard negatively about battery life from other users of iPhone but i have never ever faced that issue with my iPhone. It gives me a great battery backup of almost 2-3 days when i use only Wifi and no 3G or 2G which can be termed excellent compared to other smartphone battery life.i mostly use Wifi for my data needs. Even with use of 2G/3G the fully charged iPhone battery lasts for about 1-1.5 days which is more than enough for me. The only feature that disappoints me is the use of iTunes to copy and sync all the music, videos, photos etc to my iPhone. This limits me to sync my device to another system which has another set of songs and videos where iTunes is installed as syncing this will erase the data that is already present on my iPhone. So all in all, i have none of the complaints with my iPhone and continue to and will always be proud owner of my Apple iPhone.

It deserve 5 stars for its security, performance, camera almost everything. It is best to the young generation who wants thier all work in one go.

  • get the Iphone, get the peace of mind, if display size doesn't matter.
    Sher Dil (Jun 1, 2014) on Gadgets 360
    Even with low specs on paper this phone is very snappy and smooth, this is because the OS is specifically made or the Iphone. Same goes for the apps, they are specifically made for Iphone, all apps open in a snap! No sluggishness or lag whatsoever. The Apple ap store has maximum number of apps and no need to worry if certain app will work well, or if certain game will run smoothly on the Iphone. They are made for the Iphone so no problem. Software updates are easily available as they are released by the manufacturer Apple itself. whereas in Android some phone get some don't. The screen, though small, is a delight to the eyes. I myself feel no strain when reading on this. Maybe thats the reason its called a retina display. Quick navigation from lock screen to camera app. The camera is excellent in any kind of situations..under bright light it produces great photos with amazing detail without any oversaturation. It also acts like a status symbol, if you don't have an Iphone you don't have an Iphone :P I wish the display was a little larger and the price a little lower.

  • Fact of iPhone
    Anonymous (May 12, 2014) on Gadgets 360
    I am using iPhone from past 2007 when it lunched The original iPhone, now i am using iPhone 5 till now i didnt faced any issue in Apple iPhone. we can afford the phone they cost because they have premium and quality. Who used iPhone in his life will never back to any other device like Android etc. I have a experience of 5 years, i have tried to go back but can't loss my money in Android. Dont think to buy iPhone. Apple is the one and only brand which is best in industry. iPhone 5 is best and fast.
