What Id like to see improved: I dont like her all-or-nothing option to change a text message. Id love to be able to tell her to replace a word. Often, in a multi-sentence text shell get it correct, except for that one word thats crucial to understanding the meaning of the message.

Reality: It still remained command central, but my iPad usage for non-leisure activities increased. This isnt an indictment against the iPhone per se, and it likely has more to do with buying an iPad with cellular connectivity this time around, along with a keyboard case. However, the majority of my communications, note-taking and task management functions have been on the iPhone 5. What was previously an 80-20 split is now about a 70-30 split. For long-form writing away from my Mac, the iPad will likely always win that battle.

I was hoping I would use Pages more, but it still doesnt seem to adapt well to the large screen. In irness, this complaint may be me moving the goal posts since even on my Nexus 7 Im not doing any writing. Nor do I feel my life is really missing an iPad mini, either.

Expectation: I expected that the iPhone 5 would continue to replace my point-and-shoot camera.

What Id like to seeimproved: A system-side sharing feature like there is in Android. I absolutely love that I can send links to Insta and Evernote in Android with one easy click, iPhone as long as the app is installed. No messy bookmarks to install.

Expectation: This is an iOS 6 issue, but I expected to use Siri on a near-daily basis.

What Id like to see improved: Maybe a little better image focus and stabilization. If Im shooting a picture of a handheld object and my hands are slightly shaking, Ive noticed the iPhone auto-focus is tad sensitive. I imagine the camera on the iPhone 5S (or whatever the next-generation iPhone is called) will be better in ways I wont be able to detect, but I think the iPhone 5 camera is good as is.

Reality: I use Siri on a near-daily basis. With iOS 6 she got better, and I frequently have a desire to send and receive texts while operating a motor vehicle. Looking at the phone and typing while doing this, Ive heard, is frowned upon. So I use Siri instead. For the most part, she does a decent job. Ive learned the hard way to keep my messages short. I dont really use Siri to create Reminders, move calendar events, and the like. I do, however, use her to check on when the Red Sox are playing and what the score is.

What Id like to see improved: I agree with Andy Ihnatkos take on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen. I frequently keep my iPhone in a car mount where it sits right in that hard-to-see range for my old guy eyes. I want to see Apple release a larger screen. There are few things that tempt me towards Android phones, and the screen size is always the demon on my shoulder.

Expectation: The iPhone would continue to be command central for my life.

Reality: Well, its certainly taller.  The extra row of icons is helpful. With the previous screen size, I always had apps I use frequently sitting on the second screen. Now, all the apps I use often are one screen. Apps like Twitter, Facebook, Notes, and Evernote feel more comfortable with the taller screen. The Kindle and iBooks apps feel like Im reading from a weird legal size . Other apps seem to think the extra real estate is perfect for showing me more ads Im looking at you, The Weather Channel.

Reality: Even with the purple haze problem, the iPhone 5 has indeed solved my needs for a point-and-shoot camera.

Since you have always been an iohone user, nothing unexpected. Nothing extraordinary. nothing bad. Try using the S3 for 5 months, and give us a review then.

Expectation: It would be really different than the iPhone 4S screen.

It seems like it was just six months ago I was waiting in line to buy an iPhone 5. I thought Id share what my expectations were in September when I bought it, and how the device, and iOS 6, red against them. Overall, I remain happy with the iPhone 5 and iOS. Naturally, there are some things that bug me as well as impress me. Ive owned every iPhone model to date, but in this case Im talking about my experiences going from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5.

My only regret with the iPhone 5 is self-created: Instead of opting for a 64 GB phone, I bought the 32 GB and AppleCare+. I should have bought the 64 GB as Im now struggling to find room for my music. Im swapping out albums more than Id like. I bought AppleCare+ because I expected for financial reasons that Id skip the 2013 iPhone update and wanted the extra coverage I was too r off my upgrade cycle for any discounts last year, so Im going to wait until I dont need to pay the off-contract price.

Im impressed with the overall sturdiness of the iPhone 5. I dont keep it in a case, and with the metal back I dont feel like its going to shatter with a bad ll. I dont seem to have as many weird cell reception issues as I had before. I work in a section of a building with notoriously bad celiPhonel coverage (about 1 bar), but outside of that, I dont seem to have many youre holding it wrong issues. The LTE speeds are nice, I just wish AT&ts not too bulky in my pockets.

Ive owned every iPhone model to date. Heres my experience going from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5, including what Ive liked, what has not met my expectations and what Id like to see in a new version.
