Compact and lightweight, water-resistant.
Bright and high-contrast screen.
Outstanding performance from the A13 chip.
Loud stereo speakers.
Touch ID is back and we love it.
Excellent daylight photos and good low-light ones.
Very good video recording capabilities with proficient stabilization.
Future proof with the latest chipset and regular iOS updates.
The cheapest iPhone yet.

Bezels, bezels, bezels.
The battery capacity is uninspiring.
Night Mode in the camera is sorely missed.
Slow 5W charger in the box.
The iTunes file exchange can be frustrating for many.
