    The iPhone 5 comes in a compact and attractive retail box. I ordered the black one since I thought the black metal looked attractive online.

    The box contents include the new Apple Earpods, USB charging adapter, and USB cable with the new connector.

    I really like the new connector from Apple that lets you place the end into the iPhone in either orientation, unlike microUSB.

    Apple spent three years developing the new Earpods. I NEVER used the earbuds included before, but do find these to be decent and useful.

    The back of the iPhone 5 is well designed with glass pieces along the top and bottom and metal in most of the back cover. It is attractive and feels great in the hand.

    The metal edges are beveled and if you watch the Apple video you can see it is done by a diamond blade.

    Do you like my "I love Windows Phone" sweatshirt? I had this shot taken at the Puyallup Fair near the Krusty Pup vendor.
