Now a look at the Highs and Lows...

Highs :

• Good Processor 
• Siri works just perfect
• Camera works quite well
• Incredible Dimensions
• Light weight and easy to handle
• Perfect screen size for a phone
• Excellent build quality

Dimensions are just perfect

Lows :

• Battery life is poor
• Maps are just terrible
• Fingerprint magnet
• No storage expansion card slot
• Aluminum back is delicate and gets scratch and dents too often
• No Micro-Sim, else Nano-Sim
• No optical zoom in camera

Conclusion :

iPhone 5 is slimmer, thinner and smarter than the previous 4S version

If we go by the specifications the phone is overall well built with some problems it in. But if you want the brand name Apple associated with the device this one is just perfect for you. The screen of the phone is just the best and suitable size that a phone should have, with the build quality being just amazing, even though the back panel has aluminium which posses a problem as it easily catches scratches and dents, also being aluminium it's a fingerprint magnet. But if you can go with it, this one is just the perfect one for you.
Now, coming to camera, the camera of this phone is well built and perfectly designed that is capable of taking decent photos and good video recordings, although there is no "optical zoom" available.
The phone got excellent features with it with some flaws. It's a Apple A6 processor that works as perfectly as it is advertised, with Siri that works brilliantly. Now coming to some flaws, battery life is not so good for a 4-inch device, it's not even 1500 mAh battery. The maps are just terrible, due to which the CEO of the company recently apologized  We would have been more happier if there was a micro-sim capability for this device, it's not easy for everywhere and for everyone to get a nano-sim, also there is not Storage-Expansion card slot available.
But still, if you can go with all these flaws and you like the iOS and Apple, this one is the best product available for you in the over-crowded market for high-end smartphones.
