It's now several months since the launch of the iPhone 5. This has been my first iPhone. Something still feels inadequate especially when I interact with pals who have decided to keep their iPhone 4S saying they are very content with it and will not even bother upgrading to the 5. Do you feel the same?
Yes, 5 was a minimal upgrade.

Girlfriend has 4S, and I have 5. Really not much improvement.

My 4 -> 5 was reasonably substantial though.
 
I love my 5 just wish it had a notification light and larger screen. I never know when I have a notification waiting by just looking at the phone.
 
Having upgraded from a Blackberry dinosaur, the iPhone 5 has the wow factor. No problems so far, it just works! And it works well. I have no complaints regarding the battery lasting. Just love this phone. If you are having second thoughts about buying the iPhone 5, then try a blackberry Bold, you'll sone change you mind.
 
Sings. You don't always get what you want but sometimes you find you get what you need. La la la
 
Satisfied with the iPhone 5?

No.

- Battery life is bad
- Don´t like the design shape, too edgy (although better than 4 & 4S). Bring back the roundness of 3G!
- Like the 4" display, but don´t like the forehead and chin, makes the phone too lenghty.
- Still ain´t snappy enough! Apple when are you going to make an iPhone that´s fast? Loose close/open app animations if you have to.
- iOS restrictions (though it´s not fault of the phone)
 
Went from the 4 to the 5. Yes, I'm satisfied. My friends GSIII is nice, but he has to charge it at least once during the middle of the day or it will be dead by dinner time. I've never been able to use up my iPhone's charge in one day.
