Crazy for the iPhone 5?

So the iPhone 5 is finally here – but with considerably less fan fare than previous releases. Why? Well the reviews seem to be pretty evenly split on whether it’s worth re-upping your contract or shelling out a pretty penny for the slimmer, faster addition to the iPhone family.

Some say the lightweight phone is completely renovated with a bigger screen, more advanced touchscreen technology and faster processer. But others say the upgrade is hardly enough to keep the iPhone atop the smartphone hierarchy, especially against tough Android competitors like Samsung Galaxy S3.
