The iPhone 5 is the best phone Apple has ever produced, and a considerable improvement over the 4s, but is it the best all-around smart phone?  Last year, I would have said “Yes!” since the Five improves on the 4s in so many ways.  But the world of smart phones has changed drastically in the past year, and there are now so many phones that offer MORE: more screen area, more pixels, more OS options, more communication options, and more processor cores.  As much as I love this new iPhone, I can’t bring myself to crown it “the best smart phone”.  There’s simply no objective way to do that.  So let me fall back on describing the phone, what it does well, and what it does not so well.
