iPhone 5 is light, very light. After observing a parade of newer phones go by I finally upgraded which thanks to the weird pricing in the market was light on the pocket. The problem now is it is so light my belt case is more weight than the actual phone. I even dropped it once right onto the hard asphalt confused by the lightness in my hand. It's very polished, very Apple, quite faster to respond compared to few generations back. The new OS is pretty good and hopefully iCloud will solve a lot of problems with multiple devices and form factors. I am all set I think for the next five years unless I drop it again (fortunately the first drop did not leave any sign at all).
