Glorious in every way. But my latest Iphone, number 5, is an out and out lemon. Despite the fact that it is higher specification than any of my prior iphones. It must have been made 4 minutes before clocking off time on a Friday. It's so dire it's difficult to maintain even my lacklustre social life with it. I miss calls. I don't get voicemails. Sometimes I cannot make calls. The battery has the lifespan of a tadpole in a microwave. When I try and play games with it on the tube, the games crash just before I get to the end of the level. I fear this is because Apple have got so far ahead of everyone else they took their foot off the gas. Whatever the reason I'm fed up.
