Had the unlocked iPhone 5 for almost 8 weeks 11/2015, I'm saying YES!

Using this unlocked iPhone 5 with Straight Talk. Reception is SO much better than the Samsung Ace I was using. I have the same phone service as before, just switched out my phone but now outside the city I can actually drive between cities and still have decent reception for calls and texts. With the Samsung it was literally like having a brick, dead, nothing. Now the battery is another thing. It just does not seem to be able to go a whole day on a charge, so I keep a charger handy. However, to make it tolerable search online for how to increase your battery time, and there are plenty of good articles. Fresh out of the box it was horrible, but after following some advice it's much better than it was. By the way, the phone is all around a good phone, all functions work, it's fast, I don't see how a phone could be faster!

Good product

Purchased as first phone for 6th grader as bday present. No problems other than straight talks internet service sucks after you reach X amount of data each month. Phone runs LTE but straight talk only runs 3g and then bumps speeds down to 1g after the first 3 gigs of data- they have other plans but we purchased the cheap/unlimited plan. After a month, we canceled straight talk service because kid couldnt get phone to hardly run or load on straight talk network. Always using our wifi because of slow service. Phone works on wifi perfectly. Great product, no problems with phone but straight talk sucks.

A compact, capable product . . . but understandably bound to Apple services.

Live in fringe coverage for Verizon . . . battery life suffers 'cause phone is in constant high-current mode. Also believe the antenna marginal compared to other products I've owned . . . some places I've enjoyed good mobile phone coverage are problematic with this phone. Also difficult (if not impossible) to load my own mp3 library of music/audio-books. The PC based interfaces to this phone are not very user friendly compared to Android OS. I'm sure this phone is probably adequate to the needs of the vast majority of users. But I'll be trading out for an LG in the not too distant future.

Very good product

Aesthetically looks GREAT! Mine didn't come with drastic or notable scratches, just 1 or 2 minor and not notables at all. Certainly battery life is a minor factor but it's enough for daily use, just try not to use many apps at the same time or enable saving mode. Also I live abroad and I thought it was unlocked for other countries and carriers, but my surprise was that when I tried to use another SIM Card, it didn't let me, anyway I'm working to unlocking it online, it costs 1$ though, let's see if it works.

What is a small form factor?

Ridiculous prompt for the 'review'. It's an iPhone. It works well. I still hate iTunes. So proprietary. The battery dies in the cold - inexplicably sometimes. I live in the mountains so this is an issue. All of my iPHones have done this. Sometimes when you go to charge a dead phone it will miraculously have 70% charge. Not a deal breaker just try to keep the phone warm if possible.

Writing review on this phone

For us it is a Great Leap Forward (we're not teenagers) Fast compared to last phone easy to learn to use. I really like that it was unlocked with no bloat ware. Apple makes it easy to guard your privacy by being able to block tracking for almost anything. Down side is the battery life is less than I wanted, but by adjusting settings it is better. Overall a good deal.

Almost Perfect

Very quality purchase when I was in a pinch and needed a fix. Plus battery life, cosmetic dings were very minor, overall very happy with this purchase. The sole problem I have with the phone is a weird screen glitch that sometimes makes typing (and simply registering the screen) impossible. It's normally fixed right away with a quick hold-button reset, but it can still be a nuisance. 4/5.

"Lightweight with great features"

Ive always wanted to get me a good iphone and now since i have finally got me a good iphone i will be able to stick to this because unlike androids which are way cheaper and the updates arent all that different that we will actually get a good phone thats like a ipod and a phone together. so basicaly it's "team iphone all the way".!!

After Android OS it seems too weak

The lack of such simple functions as the black list, mute on the specified time, manual silence during an incoming call by one touch ... Set Up for each number or group their own ring tone it is a real adventure. I use it only as a phone, and even in this meaning I lack the dozen small functions available on the same generation of Samsung phones.
