Anyone 100% Happy with iphone 5

100% satisfied here. I upgraded from the 32GB black iphone 4 to the 64GB white iphone 5 and am absolutely in love with it! Maps has worked flawlessly for me and is SO much nicer to look at and smoother. I stopped using the google maps and was using mapquest instead on my iphone4. I love that I can just use siri to say "take me home" or "i'm hungry" and it will open maps or list restaurants and get my route started. The weight and thinness are perfect and the screen looks like you could just grab the app icons from the screen. The speed is a night and day difference. I use the Hipstamatic photo app a lot, and on the iphone4 it was just sooo slow, I would say it would take a good minute to "develop" a photo. On the iphone5 I think it takes maybe 2 seconds! The design is gorgeous, I am so glad we have apple to give us something differant besides the giant plastic phones out there, although I do think it might be a good idea for apple to provide 2 sized phones for those who do want a larger screen. In my opinion the iphone is still the best phone out there...
I was until a stuck pixel appeared. I am on my way to Apple this afternoon. Not a huge deal, I understand that this isn't a quality control issue as much as it is bad luck.
So I'm sure once I get my replacement I will go back to 100% satisfied with the iPhone 5.

I'm 100% happy! Of course, I came from a 2+ year old Droid X so the bar wasn't necessarily set very high. Ha ha.
It's the best smartphone I've ever owned and there's nothing about it that I don't like. And the couple of times I've used Maps, it's worked perfectly. Are there things Apple could improve on? Probably. But frankly I haven't taken note of any overt deficiency that I believe needs improving at this point.
As for the people who've griped about some things, they probably fall into two camps: 1) those who've actually experienced issues that need corrected; and 2) those whose expectations were WAY higher than the average consumer. Thankfully my phone has performed perfectly since it was delivered, and my expectations were not so high that I assumed my new smartphone would allow me to teleport to another dimension or would cook my meals.

I have 2 iPhone 5's in my house both work 100% but had an issue with the first one my wife had no LTE, but got a new one.
We are 100% happy
Just remember you will can not please everyone all the time whether it is an iPhone or something else some folks will just find faults with it.
Only issue I have is I go back and forth between Black 16GB iPhone 5 and Samsung GS3 is hard bc of the different sim cards one micro and the other nano, but this is my issue no one else's.
I do think there were too many changes made this time around and Apple will surely piss ppl off with not having enough stock and all the issues. So far about 10 people her at my job switched to the SG3, bc it is available and the first Android phone that works well

I don't have any complaints. I don't use the earpods but I never use the ones packaged with my iPhones so that's no different, and Maps has been 99% flawless for me (the one exception was that it tried to tell me that there was a Walgreens inside a decrepit Mexican restaurant in Pensacola; other than that, it's been spot-on.)
The only complaint that I have with it this far is the typing, and I think it's more of me than the phone, I'm typing differently because the phone is so thin
More than happy with mine, although I still think in time the 4/4S will be regarded as the classic iPhone design.
It functions like it should. I am happy. I don't expect it to do my laundry... yet... iPhone 5sL? See what I did there.
I handed my phone to a employee at best buy so she could read my order number off an email. She said "wow, no one would ever let me hold there iphone5." I almost passed out. I replied "its a phone, not new born child"

Anyone else totally happy with their new phone? No scratches, couldn't give a f@£k about the maps, knows ios6 will only get better, loves the bigger screen, loves the light weight design, loves the ear pods, loves the looks, loves the feel of the phone. And generally not whining like a spoilt brat!
I know I am!
Yes. No complaining, only positives!
No but seriously, isn't that why we go on forums like this? Siri has been a small annoyance. I'd say i'm 90% satisfied. If Siri would understand me like in the Siri commercials. Apparently they give out a modified version of Siri to celebrities, sound about right? Samuel L Jackson, that girl & Martin Scorsese can kiss my ***
There is one small issue and that would be the camera software. It lacks 16:9 and a lot of camera effects. I was expecting a lot more. Compared to say HTC devices its really lacking. I had to plop down .99 cents (I think it was .99) for ProCam to get decent camera software.
Did you go inside and look, maybe it was Incognito, you know keeping it real in the 850.
