I have not brought it but used it for few days and this review is what I have came through.
iOS never lags - white lie. After updating it to iOS 10.3.1 or before updating I have faced few issues while using home screen. The app drawer sometime becomes glitch while switching task. By glitches, I mean sometime the drawer pages does not move properly. Tapping on app icon does not response. Swiping on app switcher does not works.
Front camera quality is not as compared to its hype. Rear Camera focusing is horrible, when focusing on text with far distance its perfect but on a little distance it gets disturbed.
It heats up a lot while charging. Although, the handset heats up normal usage.
Making portable hotspot in iphone is close to nightmare, you need to first set APN. After it switch to airplane mode and disable it. The problem just starts here. Once you enable it you need to keep open Wifi, it also open bluetooth which you can disable. Sometime doing this only won’t work. portable hotspot in iOs is all about hit and trial.
I would not say iPhone 5 is close to iPhone 5s. iPhone 5 which I am using it now is better and does not heats, glitches are rare too. Camera quality is similar.
One more thing, comparing it with android phone is stupidity. Both are different thing.
Value for Money - Its okay, but still if you have 17K~ 18K to spend go with android smartphone.
