No, his last comment on the matter was that he was disappointed iOS didn't have a 'home screen' I believe.
I think he may find the new one a bit light though.
I've been told that the screen may have a yellowish tint for the first few days of use due to a type of glue that is used which needs time to set (or something like that). Basically - don't cry until you've had a few days of use out of the thing and it's still yellow
Nope, that's a different thing.
New iPhone 5 quality control checks are clamping down on scuffing, slowing down production

This is what I've been waiting for. I'll be getting one soon.

I wouldn't damage it anyway, so getting one in pristine condition is my main concern.
Well, I got my black iPhone 5 a couple of weeks ago and (coming from the Galaxy S 3) I'm really impressed with it.
It was mostly as I expected but the overall performance is top notch. It's really, really fast and smooth, which is immediately noticeable even compared to a 4S, and the battery life is solid as well, quite similar to my iPhone 4 which was the best battery performance I've had out of a smartphone recently. The quality and performance (and even selection) of the apps is still significantly better than on Android, at least for what I use. Even more so for games (not that I use many).
If you like iOS, you really can't pick any faults with this phone, it's right at the top of its game. The feel and design is second to none as well, usually phones lose the premium feel when they get lighter, but not the iPhone, it feels just as good as it has since the iPhone 4.

Anyone else find the novelty of the iPhone 5 has worn off? I've had mine since launch and have just been updating my wife's 4S and actually found myself preferring the shorter slightly fatter feel of it. Admittedly the iPhone 5 looks slightly nicer but in terms of feel I actually prefer the 4S. Sadly it seems the Home button on hers is dying, that'll be the 3rd iPhone in a row where one of the buttons has failed
Nope, it's excellent. The screen makes quite a difference once you're used to it, it's also slightly quicker and the battery life is better.
I was about to write a list of things you're missing out but then I noticed who the poster was.
To anyone else, don't waste your time.
There are plenty of good reasons, but you ignore them as you can't get said item. Quite simple, you do it every time a new product is released. Over and over again. Boring.
Then give it to me, I'll crack it open and start using it!
In other news I'm debating getting a refurb on contract atm. I've seen a £26pm / £80 phone cost, Unlimited mins, Unlimited texts, 1000MB data.
Is that a good/bad deal?
Compare it to here:

and here: http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobile-phones/apple/apple-iphone-5-16gb-black
It seems fairly good but I wouldn't want a refurb.
What on earth are you talking about, you didn't mention the iPhone 4S earlier...
If you think the iPhone is boring (this is your issue it seems, not the size of the upgrade), why not get an Android phone. I suspect you have one anyway, going by your posts in this particular subforum.
The screen on the iPhone 5 feels pretty small, the one on the 4/4S now feels ridiculously small so I'm glad they've made it bigger. There are numerous other good points but you'll say they are pointless on a phone and all the usual guff, so I won't get into that.
It isn't just phones though, it's every single product thread in this forum. Everything is a pointless upgrade unless the previous version is extremely old. The only person you're trying to convince is yourself.
