5 Things You’ll Hate About the iPhone 5

Rear Camera

When the iPhone 5 arrived back on the scene in 2012 it was boasting one of the best rear cameras on the market. Its been three years since the iPhone 5 release and unsurprisingly, the device's camera sensor is showing its age. 

To put it simply, the iPhone 5's camera is capable of shooting decent photos and video but don't expect anything from it in loud, noisey envionments. It doesn't perform well in low light environments and its microphone is incapable of delivering quality audio. We took it out to a concert the other day and had to delete the video. 

An iPhone 5 purchase would be forgivable if there weren't tons of other low cost devices out there with better rear cameras. LG's G3 and G4 are both cheap and their rear cameras blow the iPhone 5's out of the water. Same goes for the Galaxy S5 and iPhone 5s. Even the Galaxy S6, Samsung's 2015 flagship, is about to get cheaper. 

If you use your camera a lot or you think you might use your rear camera lot, you'll probably want to opt for another phone.
