Looking at one for my wife. Besides the charger being different, any issues?
Any issues with iPhone 5?

My son just upgraded to the iPhone 5 . Very similar to the 4s , bigger screen, thinner. But he is having an issue with the home button , basically it works when it wants to. He is taking it to the Apple store to have then look at it.

I've always been against anything with an "I" in front of it. Only thing I've liked on them is the camera. From what I have heard the I-phone 5 isnt that great compared to the 4s. MANY complaints about the apple maps. Having to buy extra apple products to plug into my car seems to be annoying as well. I use a droid and the same usb charger plugs right into my CD player. Im not sure but i dont think the Iphone runs with the option to add an SD card either. If i were to get another phone right now it would probably be the galaxy s3 or note 2, or even possibly a new windows phone (havent tried one yet tho). Apple obviosuly gets first dibs at Apps though, but all in all dollar for dollar apple isn't the way to go in my opinion.

I had issues with my 4s initially but once that was fixed its been great. Even dropped it 20 feet out of a tree 2 weeks ago. Zero issues. I liked the droid OS but couldn't seem to get any durability or reliability beyond 6 months. I'm bunking my wife would do fine with the 4s but you know how it is with the latest and greatest. I had heard people weren't happy with them though.

I'm on my last one, the map fiasco is forcing me to switch, I cant bring myself to use it with this horrible map app
and dont try to tell me to use 3rd party, it does not work the same, and google maps in the browser is terrible

Droid tablet has been fantastic, my family 5, 12, and 2 adults use it daily. Zero issues. Almost a year of steady abuse

Upgraded to the 5, faster than my 4 and LOVE LTE(AT&T send me a nasty text that I am using to much data). Sold my 4 for about what the 5 cost so the upgrade was almost a wash.
I get the map app has some issues, for me, here in CNY it has been flawless. I'm on a 4S right now, waiting for the 5s next year
I haven't had any problems with the Map app, and I am also running on the 4S. I am hoping to get the 5 eventually, if not, I'll wait for the next one as Blurry stated.

Yea ive seem some phones fall and shatter and some live to see another day, not sure why some break and some don't though. Another thing to htink about is if you already have an Iphone you more than likely have alot of things on your itunes account that will be basically stuck there forever with no hope of getting it onto another OS. If i had t get an iphone I would either just get the 4s or wait the short period of time until the 5s comes out. Im still hearing alot of good things about the windows phones though.

My wife's biggest complaint about her iPhone now is that Facebook freezes up. If that works for her, she'll have no complaints. The navi isn't something either of us uses very often.

From what I've seen my gf go through with apple/verizon, I will never ever ever own an Apple product. Ever.

The battery life on the 5 versus the 4 or 4S is significantly better. I don't get into the Apple versus Droid game... Nothing is perfect. I run Mac computers at my house it just makes sense to roll with an iPhone.
