Launch day 64GB in black and the wife has a 16GB in black from October as well.
Both run naked now that I've explained to her why it makes no difference (the difference in price between a grade A+ and a grade A- phone come resale time is often less than the cost of the case anyway... and we both have AC+ in case of catastrophe). It's been incredible seeing how well they hold up.
Mine is still a 9.9 out of 10. Only the "scuffgate is ruining my life" crowd would even be able to find the "flaw" which is a tiny "scuff" from a crummy headphone jack.
Wife started with a case (Tones), discovered the case was leaving marks on the chamfered edge, and has gone without a case since. One tiny "ding" on the upper chamfer is the only damage she's incurred (and she throws it in her purse, I at least carry it in an empty, clean, pocket haha...).
The phone itself? Darn near perfect. Sure iOS is old, but the A6 makes it feel liquid, and the games/apps feel like they don't tax the system at all now (and despite the 4S being fabulous, you COULD bog it down... not the 5, yet at least, in a normal application not designed to do it).
The 5 has been absolutely amazing in function. There is nothing it does poorly, even if there are areas it could be improved (and there are, but again, it's nothing that impacts the overwhelming positive experience).
We'll be getting the 5S, not because we need to, but because there's no reason not to. Every iPhone has gotten better. Although I do like the 2G over the 3G
.
Borrowed a friends S3 for a week while he was out of the country (he was trying to convince me to swap), and all it did was convince me beyond any doubt that the 5 is the superior total package. Not that the screen is X, or the processor is Z, just that Apple has the total experience thing pretty well nailed.
