Consumer Reports says its completed its tests on the iPhone 5 and found the smartphone to be a 'winner'.
A larger, 4-inch display; a thinner and lighter profile; 4G LTE access; and a host of innovative features all helped the iPhone 5 move up in the ranks, surpassing not only the previous iPhone 4S but also a number of other new Android-based smart phones.
The iPhone 5 also improved on areas that the iPhone 4S did well, boosting the range of functions controlled by its Siri voice assistant, and making the already top-notch iPhone camera even better.
Notably, the report downplays criticism of the Maps application on iOS 6, saying that they expect any shortcomings to improve over time.

I think apple should still make the iPhone wider and even longer like the Samsung SGS3 to make it the perfect phone and also allow some customization. I have the iPhone 4S and love it but have to admit the quality and space on the Samsung screen is just awesome. Plus you can make changes and not be as bored by the sameness.

A report saying something is better than something without any charts or data.
Its the most accurate report that I ever seen.

for all fo you who don´t believe in apple supremacy, look the source of this article: http://news.consumerreports.org/electronics/2012/10/apple-iphone-5-test-results.html
Shame of you who think Samsung GSIII is the king. SGSIII is just a huge awful phone with a not finished OS.
