Apple iPhone 5
$399.00
Released September, 2012
The Pros:Thinner and lighter than other iPhones. Big retina display. More durable connector.
The Cons:Not many improvements over 4S, other than form factor. At 4" it still is on the small side of smartphones. No Google Maps.
The iPhone 5 is Apple's much anticipated sequel to the iPhone 4S. This has been the first major upgrade to the iPhone series since the iPhone 4 and has integrated quite a few of Apple's latest technologies into the device.

Erik:
#apple_iphone_5 Perhaps not that exciting of an update, but you can't fault Apple for making a product that keeps getting better and better, consistently.
