Apple Inc.’s iPhone 5 won the backing of Consumer Reports, whose criticism of an earlier model became known as “Antennagate” and who said the latest device is among the best on the market despite its map flaws.
The larger screen, thinner and lighter body design, and faster wireless speeds set the handheld apart from the company’s previous models, according to the magazine, reinforcing a preliminary review it published last month. Consumer Reports also praised improvements made to Apple’s voice-recognition software, Siri, and the iPhone 5’s camera.
