Maps

"It offers no information about public transportation; searches for an in-town destination sometimes return results for an entirely different city; it occasionally mistakes farms for airports; some of its Dali-esque flyover imagery is lousy; and it places gas stations in utterly untenable locations."

“Users will be hoping this is a software bug that can be fixed with an update - but some users blame the sapphire crystal lens, in which case a fix would be unlikely without a product recaSome users have also spotted the problem with video, while other users have taken images of the same location with the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 to highlight the drop in image quality.”

too hot to handle?

“That seems to be the numero uno gripe of users right now. A rather vocal section of iPhone 5 users are complaining that after just a few minutes of browsing or simply fooling around with the phone, its back (presumably where the battery is) gets too hot to be held in a human hand. A first-day customer, Todd Ogaswara, editor of MobileAppsToday, even measured the temperature of the phone, and claimed that it was a hot 111°F, or about 44°C.”

battery life in LTE mode
       
       
“if you’re using your iPhone 5 in places with a very strong (4- to 5-bar) LTE or 3G signal, your cellular battery life may approach that number, but if not, the cellular antenna will struggle to maintain a signal, and fall well short. Because LTE and 3G/4G towers are in a state of build-out flux right now, our tests suggest that many LTE users won’t come close to Apple’s promised [battery life] numbers.”
http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/26/iphone...ignal-strength/
iPhone 5 battery life is way worse than iPhone 4
“My iPhone 5 battery drains a lot faster than my iPhone 4. With 30 min of consecutive use I've dropped 40%.”

LTE - drops connections constantly, loses calls, can’t surf and talk at the same time
        “iPhone 5 Drops 4G LTE Connections Constantly”
        http://www.legitreviews.com/news/14197/
“Consumer Reports is finishing up its testing of the iPhone 5, and engineers said they found problems with the phone on the Verizon and Sprint network. The testing organization said the Verizon and Sprint phone can't support a phone call and an Internet based connection over the network at the same time.”        http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/science_tech...e-on-2-networks
lack of simultaneous voice & data on iPhone 5 using Verizon LTE demonstrated:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAXM8ZqmJ0I
“...the iPhone 5 can make outgoing calls and has functioning data services including SMS, but incoming calls fail - no indication that a call is coming in, and it goes to voicemail. This is on Telus in downtown Calgary with strong LTE signal.”

numerous other problems with iPhone 5 and LTE were reported - see Apple and mobile operators forums
LTE severely limited in Europe
"[iPhone 5] leaves out two bands — 800MHz and 2.6GHz—that will be critical to LTE service in Europe, according to Tolaga Research analyst Phil Marshall.
“If you were to build a European device, it would have 800MHz and 2.6GHz in it,” Marshall said. Carriers in Germany, Sweden, Italy and other European countries already have or are expected to deploy LTE in one or both of these bands."        http://www.macworld.com/article/1168561/ap...ack_burner.html
current iPhone 5 LTE bands (as of 2012-09-29):
4G Network
LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100 - GSM A1428 or LTE 850 / 1800 / 2100 - GSM A1429

LTE 700 / 850 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 - CDMA A1429

new “all digital” connector

“There's an authenticator chip in the official adapters, and third-party adapters probably won't work without[c] it.”

"The new connector on the bottom, which is a lot smaller [than in previous iPhones]. It won't fit. The new iPhone won't be able to dock with the accessories that are out there now. If you've invested a lot in speaker systems and other docks out there you are going to need an adaptor and Apple is going to charge $30[d] for one of those," Consumer Reports Senior Electronics Editor Mike Gikas said.

iPhone 5 does not have the highest resolution display anymore

iPhone 5 - 326 dpi vs Nokia Lumia 920 - 332 dpi

because we got strong government 

Just be grateful that you will even get an iPhone in such a considerably short time. Look at China, their population several times more than Malaysia, iPhone users several times more than Malaysia, have 5 flagship Apple Stores, and ALL Apple stuffs are produced in China, yet they get Apple stuffs much more later than Malaysia. So just think, we better or they better.

Don't scare me T____T
