What would you change on the iPhone 5?

The iPhone 5 may be an excellent phone, but no phone has no faults. For example, the Galaxy Nexus came out with an underwhelming speaker so soft, that I could never hear when my phone would ring. Or the Galaxy S3, a battery issue causing the phone to drain immediately. Heck, even the iPhone 4 came out with antenna problems, where gripping the phone "wrong" would lose signal. No phone is perfect, and the iPhone 5 is in no way, a perfect phone.

For one, I personally would have liked a change in design. Beginning with the first iPhone, it had rounded corners (let the jokes begin) and was iconic for that time. Then the iPhone 3G came, blooming with 3G capabilites and a new design. The iPhone 4 was announced, again with a dramatic change to a flat back. Now the iPhone 5, another jump in the number of the name, but the same design as the iPhone 4, but with an elongated design. Perhaps a teardrop design like many of the rumored photos and ideas, or an edge to edge screen like the Motorola Droid Razr M?

Also missing from the iPhone 5 is NFC capabilities. For those not aware of what NFC does, or is capable of doing, it essentially enables you to be able to send files wirelessly by placing two NFC capable phones together. Not only can you send files, you can also pay using your phone. With Passbook being added into iOS 6, I hardly see it being fully functional without NFC. Although NFC does not work well with a metal back, Apple could have made a plastic back.

This last one is a personal preference, but I believe that the headphone jack would work better on the top of the device. I feel that when in my pocket, it is more natural to leave the top of the phone sticking out rather than the bottom. Again, personal preference, but this is something that I would have enjoyed.

One thing that I do love, and will probably not be implemented on other phones is the ability to have a reversible charging dock. Although the iPhone 5 utilizes an 8 pin connector, and the only one to do so, they have made it reversible, making you able to put it into the slot with no difficulty. Other phones in the market use micro USB, and they have to be inserted a certain way. It's not a big thing, but I do love the option to have it reversible, and commend Apple for doing so.

So what would you change about the iPhone 5? Do you like it's aesthetic appearance? Or would you rather change some parts of iOS 6? Let me know in the comments below!
