Now, almost a month later, it's time for me to get something off my chest: I've made a huge mistake. I've had the iPhone 5 for about a week and a half, and I'm still annoyed about the dock connector thing. But it's a small problem, and in retrospect I was wrong to allow myself to become overwhelmed by dock-based frustration. That's because, in all other ways, the iPhone 5 is the best phone ever to grace the earth. It beats every single rival on just about every metric you can think of, including speed, battery life, and especially beauty and workmanship. I'll go even further: When I pick up the iPhone 5 and examine it closely, I find it difficult to believe that this device actually exists.
