Gary is trying to decide between the new iPhone 5 or an Android phone. He wants to be able to go around the world with it. Leo says that Verizon's new iPhone 5 comes unlocked, which makes it the best world phone ever made. Since Gary is on Verizon already, that makes it an excellent choice.

Episode 912

The iPhone 5 screen is beautiful. Benchmarks say it's the fastest phone you can buy. Leo isn't sure that's as big a deal than it used to be, though. Apple says it's the thinnest iPhone ever, but it still feels dense. The screen is an odd - a 16:9 aspect ratio at 4 inches.

iPhone 5 Is Now Available - Is It Worth Getting?

Episode 911

Leo's been using iPhone 5 for a day and hasn't really noticed it being really appreciably faster than his Galaxy SIII. There's two questions about the iPhone 5. The significant difference is that it has one extra icon row, or 176 pixels more. If you're in an LTE area, it may be worth it because of the fast connectivity. Running a speed test, Leo got 27mbps down and 15mbps up. That's faster than home internet, but that means you'll burn through your data caps faster too.
