Most people anticipated seeing the iPhone 5 surface last year but, of course, Cupertino had different plan, instead opting to beef up the iPhone 4's internal hardware and leave its chassis virtually untouched. Apple received a lot of criticism for this decision, though that didn't dampen sales, as the iPhone 4S kept Cook and company near the top of the proverbial food chain for yet another year.
The sixth-generation iPhone has finally landed following months of rumors and speculation, and this time there are plenty of changes internally and aesthetically. It addresses a number of concerns that critics have raised over the past year, but as with any high-profile launch (and especially with Apple products), new complaints have already surfaced. We'll investigate these and more as we put the iPhone 5 under the microscope.
Apple has almost completely redesigned the iPhone's exterior, yet it still looks very much like the iconic handset everyone is familiar with. For the first time in the iPhone's history, Apple bumped the screen size up.

After using the iphone, I think this review is actually quite a bit biased.
The iphone is just now catching up to the S3 and besides things like LTE and a speed boost, it's still has the same feel as the 4s. I guess if you have all apple products, and you have an itch to upgrade; go for it. However, if you really want some quality, wait it out. The Nokia looks like it might be a game changer for Windows. Also, with the iphone 5 still comparable to the S3, you'll definitely get a better phone by waiting for the next big Android to come out.
And as for the new headphones I was looking forward to: The earpods aren't anything special. They don't fit any better than regular earbuds and the sound quality is just what you'd expect from cheap headphones. If anything it might not even fit right in a lot of people's ears, as they're not adjustable in any way.
