iPhone 5 : Success Crippled by Complains

The record-breaking units of iPhone 5 being sold over the weekend, is a proof that the iPhone 5 has been eagerly anticipated by people around the globe. However, the celebration has been cut short by its users due some flaws they found with the new device.

While on one side, the iPhone 5 is bigger, lighter, thinner, and has a much faster A6 processor; many issues concerning the device cripple the other side. Apple has abandoned Google Map for its own Map application. Apple’s Map app has innovative features like Flyover and free turn-by-turn navigation with Siri integration. In spite of the adventurous attempt, Apple’s Map app has failed to satisfy its new users. According to the new owners of iPhone 5, many places have not been included into the Map app, and some places are wrongly mapped. Regarding this, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has apologised to its customers and assured of making the Maps better. 


The users have found flaws with the iPhone 5 camera. The images taken in bright light or an incandescent light has a purple hue effect on the photos. 

Apple has replaced the old 30-pin dock connector with the new smaller, reversible dock connector called Lightning. Unlike the old connector, which has 30 dedicated pins, the Lightning has only 8 pins, which means the new users should have new power cords and users won't be able to connect the new products with old speakers and other accessories. The solution to this is to buy an adapter, for which you have to shell out $29, plus $10 extra if you want a new cable with it.

iPhone 5 users have claimed that the new device is shedding its skin and is being scratched up exposing the silver colour of the phone's aluminum back cover, after few days of use.

Some users are concerned that the new iPhone is way too light. Others have reported that light from the screen appears to be leaking through the gaps of the antenna and the power button.

While these issues are plaguing Apple’s new invention, we can only hope Apple quickly fixes these glitches to retain their prospective, loyal customers.
