It's been over two years since the iPhone 5 came out, which in smartphone terms is practically an entire lifetime. We've since seen the iPhone 6 , iPhone 6S , iPhone SE and, in just a couple of weeks time, we're probably going to see the iPhone 7 come out...

You can pick up a refurbished iPhone 5 today for around £125. If you're dead-set on Apple's iOS and need a cheap handset then this isn't a bad deal. You can get a lot more phone though by buying a modern, budget Android phone, though you will have to get...

If anything's missing from the iPhone 5, it's NFC. This technology has been in several Android handsets, but Apple so far hasn't bothered with it. We don't see this as a massive problem at the moment, as there isn't the infrastructure to use it, but it's...

Yes, the iPhone 5 looks eerily like its predecessors, but trust us when we say you haven’t seen it until you’ve held it. The iPhone 5 is a phenomenal feat of hardware: it’s just 7.6mm thick, and at just 112g, incredibly light.Gone are the raised glass edges, replaced by smooth chamfers, but the rock solid, premium build remains. The metal back that replaces the glass coating of the iPhone 4 and 4...
It’s hard to fault the iPhone 5 hardware: it may not be dazzlingly new, but it’s refined, beautiful and packed with bleeding edge tech. Some people might grumble at the new Lightning port, but Apple had to draw a line in the sand at some point to keep making the iPhone thinner: Apple's AirPlay wireless streaming set up should more than make up for any docks you own now rendered redundant.If we ha...
