The editors didn't like
New charger requires $30 adaptor for old accessories
Data plans can be costly
Depending on carrier
Some apps still need to be updated for the larger screen
If you've invested in iPhone accessories you'll need a $30 Lightning adapter to use them
Apple Maps feels halfbaked though this is an iOS 6 feature and a Google Maps app is coming
New Maps app a step backwards
Bigger screen size not utilized at all
IOS 6 a retread of familiar territory
Issues with current Maps app
New Lightning connector to deal with
No NFC
IPhone 4S owners may have a hard time justifying an upgrade just yet
No USB 3.0 even though Apple's newest notebooks support it
Poor LTE coverage on Sprint. Maps app has some problems. No talking while surfing
Limited network coverage in some parts of the U.S
Half-baked Maps app
Very few interface enhancements
Limited 4G LTE coverage
Screen may be too small for some
Maps app still needs work
…but it makes the top of the screen harder to reach onehanded
Out of the box damage and scuffs are commonplace
Too easy to cause minor aesthetic damage to the frame
IOS 6 offers minimal improvement
Typing is noticeably less accurate
Battery life is d

No simultaneous talk and data connection. New Maps app needs a lot of work. Many third-party apps are not designed for the new screen yet
New Maps app needs a lot of work. AT&T LTE coverage not quite up to Verizon's levels
No included Lightning to 30pin adapter
New Lightning Adapter
Larger screen makes minimal impact
Lots of room for improvement for iOS 6
New connector = new accessories/adapters
Aluminum more scratch prone than glass
Will take some time for all developers to utilize new display
Lightning connector adapter MIA
IOS lagging behind Android in some areas
Screen is taller but not wider
Weak battery life
Poor Google services integration (and getting worse)
Camera isn’t a huge improvement. Lightning adapters pricey and not available on day 1.
Limited features with its Maps app
No major improvements in the platform experience
Lacks NFC technology
No wow factor
Anodized aluminum rear plate
Particularly in black
Has a reported propensity for scratches. Video recording picks up a surprising amount of audio interference
Even in a quiet room. Updates

Chamfered edges scratch easy for some users
No USB 3 syncing
Lightning connector means iPad owners get to carry two sync cables
Battery performance too often falls below Apple's best case estimates
Particularly for cellular calling and data. LTE service remains inconsistent between neighborhoods
