First, its Bluetooth implementation is much better. Whether to do with a new BT chip or antenna location, BT is now usable on my 5 whereas it was never usable on my 4S, 4, or my wife's 4. People complained I sound like I was talking into a bucket on my previous phones.

Anyway, all the headsets that never worked on my 4S/4 etc work great on the 5, and people can't even tell I'm using BT! Winning!

Second, the new buttons on the EarPods are fantastic by comparison to the previous generation buds. Much softer, easier to press. It's a very, VERY noticeable difference (as is the sound quality, of course)

So what have you guys noticed that hasn't been mentioned? (that you know of)
