Consumer Reports: iPhone 5 - is the best iPhone ever

Consumer Reports magazine named the iPhone 5 the most successful line of Apple smart phones and one of the best devices of its kind in principle. This edition publishes the assessment of various consumer products based on the results of ongoing tests in its laboratories and research. In the past, iPhone 4 was not very highly appreciated by employees Consumer Reports, rather the contrary. Edition not advised consumers to purchase this product.

With the sixth generation iPhone is completely different story. Journal favorably the device almost immediately after his appearance in the sale, but officially confirmed the assessment only after the appropriate tests. Special praise were worthy of the new display, reduced thickness and weight, the LTE support (Russian while in flight), as well as enhanced functionality of Siri (and again useless for "our" customers). In addition, despite some complaints, the owners of the iPhone 5 smartphone on the camera (lens flare, sometimes making bright lights purple) in the Consumer Reports are sure that it is worthy of recognition and high score. The best, according to Consumer Reports analyst, can be considered only a 41-megapixel camera in the Nokia 808.

Suddenly, Consumer Reports named the team actively scolds Apple community card innovation in the iPhone 5. In particular, experts like turn-based navigation, they say, it is better than expected. Perhaps for the US this is true, but for the rest of the world until Apple maps are rather weak in comparison with the google Maps. However, Apple has yet to come. After all the card - a crowdsourcing service. The more people and how they use it longer, the more perfect becomes the program and more accurate data.
