Consumer Reports: iPhone 5 is ‘The Best iPhone Yet’

Apple’s latest iPhone has received overwhelmingly positive reviews since it was first unveiled, and now Consumer Reports weights in with a conclusion of their own: The iPhone 5 is Apple’s best iPhone yet!

Consumer Reports:

The Apple iPhone 5 is among the best smart phones in our Ratings and the best iPhone yet, our completed tests confirm. […] A larger, 4-inch display; a thinner and lighter profile; 4G LTE access; and a host of innovative features all helped the iPhone 5 move up in the ranks, surpassing not only the previous iPhone 4S but also a number of other new Android-based smart phones.

Consumer Reports doesn’t frequently rave about Apple’s products – in fact, for some of Apple’s recent products, namely the 3rd-gen iPad and the iPhone 4, the publication has taken quite a negative stance on Apple’s devices.

Interestingly, the magazine even had good things to say about Apple’s iOS 6 Maps app, which has been widely criticized as being quite inaccurate.
