5 Things You’ll Hate About the iPhone 5

And finally, you're probably going to hate its performance. After nearly three years, the iPhone 5 and the features under its hood (processor/RAM) are showing their age.

iOS 8 has been problematic for us and many others. The UI has been extremely sluggish for us and others have been experiencing crashes, random freezes, a drop in app performance, and more. This is typical of a device that's in the twilight of its life. 

iOS 9 should bring some tangible improvements to the iPhone 5 but we're not expecting a Dr. Jekell/Mr. Hyde type transformation. Hardware has its limits. 

As it gets older, the potential for problems grows. At this point, three years into its life, the iPhone 5 is a risky purchase if you're planning to do more than browse the web and check email.
