After a massive successful launched of iPhone 5 in Asia and around the world on Friday, Apple's iPhone 5 features hit with several technical glitches. Quite a number of iPhone 5 users has been complaining about their newly born gadget mapping system.

The app is Apple’s rival to Google Maps, which is not available on Apple's iOS 6 app library, but users have today said that the new app compares unfavourably with its predecessor. Small software glitches have also been reported and have been detailed on Apple's support forum pages. Apple did not respond to ABC News' request for comment on the scratch issue.

Apple has faced criticism for glitches in its Map app in iOS 6. The new app, which replaces Google Maps, has misplaced some towns and displayed other geographic errors. Many users have protested that the new maps misplace some landmarks and leave others off altogether.

Are the maps on iPhone 5 really a problem?

I used mine yesterday and had no problems with it. I suspect that the media coverage has been hugely overblown, which is rather typical where Apple is concerned. The company seems to take a beating over relatively minor things.

Like any new product, Maps will get better over time. People seem to forget that Google's mapping apps didn't set the world on fire when they first came out either. Apple is already working to improve its maps app. For now it seems to work well enough for me.

One of my co-workers stood in line to get a new iPhone 5, so thanks to his, er, perseverance, I got to play around with it and we spent some time with maps, including using it while we drove to lunch.  My conclusion was that it worked fine for him, in our town. Nothing special, but fine. On the other hand, we looked at some of the examples that had been noted as failures by other people, and sure enough, there were some major errors.  If I was travelling in an unfamiliar city, it would make me uneasy if I had to depend on an iPhone 5.  I would be fine with driving around an area I generally know while looking for an unfamiliar location.  Fortunately, there is a workaround already available - they make these paper things that are also called "maps" that will work in a pinch!

iPhone 5 launched in Asia

Apple iPhone 5 

The latest massive launch by Apple's iPhone 5 in Asia draw a lot of fans jammed the tech mobile shops in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore to pick up the latest version of its iPhone.

Buyers lined up overnight in Australia while in Hong Kong they signed up online for a chance to get their hands on the new iPhone 5. In Singapore, Singtel says 68,000 people have registered their interest in Apple's latest handset. Starhub and M1 also reported strong demand for the phone.

The smartphone is also being launched in the US, UK, Canada, France and Germany on Friday.

It will go on sale in 22 more countries a week later. Apple received 2 million orders for the iPhone 5 in the first 24 hours, more than twice the number for the iPhone 4S when that phone launched a year ago. Some analysts expect Apple to sell up to 10 million iPhone 5 models in the remaining days of September.

The iPhone is Apple's highest-margin product and accounts for half of its annual revenue. Apple has said it will make initial deliveries of the iPhone 5 on Friday in the United States and most of the major European markets, such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The phone then goes on sale on September 28 in 22 other countries.

Apple plans to sell the new phone in 100 countries by the end of the year.

As popular as iPhone is — selling more than 25 million handsets worldwide last quarter alone (and iPhone 5 pre-orders topping 2 million in its first 24 hours) — they're not the only game in town. In fact, many of today's Android phones can outperform iPhone 5, feature for feature, plus Google's mobile platform is far less restrictive than Apple's iOS. Microsoft and Research in Motion are also cooking up some compelling iPhone alternatives with its Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10 OS smartphones, respectively.

Apple's newest iPhone launched on Friday has a host of design and technology improvements: it is lighter, slimmer, faster and more powerful, and has improved battery life and a bigger display likely to please its loyal customer base.

It’s hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so many features: a larger display, a faster chip, the latest wireless technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and more. All in a beautiful aluminum body designed and made with an unprecedented level of precision. iPhone 5 measures a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams. That’s 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S. The only way to achieve a design like this is by relentlessly considering (and reconsidering) every single detail — including the details you don’t see.

The new phone has a larger, 4-inch screen and is slimmer and far lighter than the previous model. The iPhone 5 supports the faster 4G network and also comes with a number of software updates, including Apple's new in-house maps feature.

The new maps feature, however has been criticised by some users for a number of geographical errors, missing information and a lack of features.

The latest iPhone comes as competition in the smartphone market has reached a fever pitch with Apple up against phones that run on Google Inc's Android software. Android has become the most-used mobile operating system in the world, while Apple's key supplier and rival, Samsung Electronics, has taken the lead in smartphone sales.

iPhone 5 a ‘Near Field Communication’ (NFC)

Apple iPhone 5

Apple has been pleased to please its dedicated line of consumers all over the world with top notch and hugely rated smart phones. People flock in line to the Apple store as soon as the phone is released in the market. Tech-savvy individuals cannot wait to get their hands on the newest Apple inventions. This is going to be a scenario in the coming months of June or July 2011 when the much acclaimed and eagerly anticipated next generation of iPhone would be released- The Apple iPhone 5. The Apple iPhone 5 has already created a wave of curious and exciting vibes from dedicated iPhone users since the features of the phone is definitely bound to create nothing less than a revolution in the smart phone market.

Some sources reveal that this mega-wonder of a phone is going to sport a ‘Near Field Communication’ (NFC) that will allow the phone to communicate and connect to the short-range wireless points like sensors on posters, signs and even POS terminals. This means that you can now use your phone like a credit card to shop in retail stores. The phone may also feature a multi-core processor. We have already had the release of the LG Optimus 2X with a dual-core processor and which sped fast in performance when compared to the iPhone 4. So, chances are that the iPhone 5 might accommodate a higher horsepower to ace the race and come up with a quad-core or multi-core processor mobile chipset. Even the OS is rumored to be an iOS for this phone.

To get your hands on the best deals on this wonderful iPhone version you may want to keep a regular check on the various online Apple iPhone 5 offers. Contract deals are your best options to obtain such incredible phones at cheap prices or may be for free altogether. All you have to do is pay the monthly rentals as a part of the Apple iPhone 5 offers. Since major mobile manufacturers tie up with top network providers in most of the first world countries, they are able to offer high caliber handsets such as these along with a pre-installed network service and a package of other lucrative freebies like free text messages, free call minutes, free internet usage and free items like laptops, Plasma television, DVD players, iPods, gaming consoles and so on. If you are someone who travels a lot then you could go for the pay-as-you-go deals wherein you could save a lot on the roaming chargers by being able to select from a range of best local networks.

When you acquire your iPhone 5 from such contract deals, most of the time, the network providers lock your phone thus limiting most of its applications. This is done so that you do not access any other networks or services until the contract period is over. However, you would not want to compromise on the optimum use of your monstrous and futuristic gadget bound by limitations. So in order to be able to access all networks and almost all iPhone Apps in the Apps store you need to unlock the Apple iPhone 5. To unlock the Apple iPhone 5 you are required to obtain unlock codes from trusted vendors who help you unlock the code without any external tools. Getting it done yourself will save you from sending your iPhone 5 to these vendors by post and risking physical damage.
