However I can't afford one so its likely I'll really end up with someone's castoff 4S
I find it fascinating how a few grams less weight is promoted as a feature to men who spend money on Gym memberships in order to lift weights. Incongruous.

Four people in our office have the iPhone 5 and ALL of them have issues with the anodising showing through. Not the normal Apple quality control. I'll stick with my 4S, it is a fine phone, it does everything I need and once they sort out the problems with OS6 I'll upgrade again. I don't need Apple or Google maps, as I paid for METROView a commercial mapping app.

I have been allocated a new iPhone 5 but I am not going to even unpack it. It can join the still un-packaged spare (company supplied) iPhone 4S in my desk drawer. They keep company with several unused BlackBerry 9020/50 Touch phones. I keep getting new phones but continuing to use my old one. Too lazy to set up a new phone when the one I have is set up just the way I like it and works just the way I want it.
