Well, the iPhone 5 is a good enough phone for the casual user, who only wants to call others, make occasional photos,surf the web, and use mainstream apps. But its price tag, especially for this hardware, is quite inflated.
However, and this WILL come as a shock for many, the iPhone 5 is NOT a smartphone in its own right (at least from my point of view). This is because iOS does not have certain features. In my mind for a device to be considered a smartphone, it's OS should have true multitasking, app integration, a system-wide file manager, as well as an application market. As iOS doesn't actually have the first 3 features (despite all of Apple's propaganda), it should only be regarded as a semi-smartphone.
Don't get me wrong, for 95+% of users, a semi-smartphone is more than enough to satisfy their needs. This combined with its good looks, the absence of lags(unlike Android, which is a true, if very heavy OS), huge numbers of apps, as well as very aggresive marketing on the part of Apple, has ensured that every iPhone will sell well. Don't get me wrong, I liked the iPhone 5 initially but after 2 months I got rid of it and turned to Android. The iPhone would be a great device if it were to cost about 400 Euros at launch.

Ank, 01 May 2013I have had Iphone 3g, 3gs, 4,4s and just purchased Iphone..... moreI agree with you. I used to own an Android before switching to the iPhone (Mytouch 4g slide) and I honestly feel I have a made a great choice. I seriously don't understand why people hate the iPhone so much! It might not have the most impressive specs and customization available but the user experience is amazing. I love Android too but lately it seems more Android people hate iOS than vice versa...

iPhone is a KING in the market, every body can't afford Apple that's make him a symbol of Status, it's a dream to have Apple, so who ever can't afford they just talk bad about it out of Frustration and out of Jealousy, these peoples suffering with INFERIORITY COMPLEX , I feel sympathy for them, but that's how this world is. They should go and get help from a Physiatrist if they afford . Otherwise try to be make themselves happy with Whatever they afford or got. Sorry Guys

Iphone does not have FM radio (ever) so I think to spite Samsung Apple will put in FM radio to gain support..This may not happen but Apple always have a dig at others companys when new iphone is launched.
I can see Tim Cook or Phil Schiller upon stage going through new iphone and saying,"Yes new iphone has fm radio unlike our competitors".Followed by "Yes new iphone brings you this amazing new feature,we call it iRadio"..
