The iPhone 5 in hand.
(Credit: James Martin/CNET)Less than a week since its debut, some of the initial reviews for Apple's next iPhone have hit the Web.
The consensus is mostly positive, with reviewers praising the larger screen, faster LTE cellular networking and iOS 6 software features. Less hot, it seems, is Apple's new maps application and Lightning connector technology.
CNET's own senior editor Scott Stein rated the iPhone 5 four out of five stars, awarding it the editor's choice.
"The bottom line is, we said last year that the two big missing parts of the iPhone were 4G LTE and a larger screen. The iPhone 5 has them, plus a new processor, plus a new design, plus iOS 6, plus a lot more. It's the best iPhone that's been made," Stein wrote.

Some of the highlights from the other reviews around the Web tonight:
David Pogue for The New York Times says:
If you have an iPhone 4S, getting an iPhone 5 would mean breaking your two-year carrier contract and paying a painful penalty; maybe not worth it for the 5's collection of nips and tucks. But if you've had the discipline to sit out a couple of iPhone generations -- wow, are you in for a treat.
Pogue adds that the one downside is the switch to Lightning, Apple's new connector technology, which replaces the 30-pin adapter.
Ed Baig for USA Today says:
Walt Mossberg, writing for All Things Digital says:People have always had lofty expectations for the iPhone 5, especially as the competition stiffens. In delivering a fast, attractive, LTE-capable and larger-screen handset, Apple has met those expectations with a gem.
Apple has taken an already great product and made it better, overall. Consumers who prefer huge screens or certain marginal features have plenty of other choices, but the iPhone 5 is an excellent choice.
Tim Stevens writing for Engadget says:
The iPhone 5 is here -- or will be soon, anyway -- and it's every bit the device that people were asking for when the iPhone 4S came out. Its new design has less mass yet leaves room for a larger display and LTE wireless, all while increasing battery life. In nearly every respect, this is an upgrade over the 4S that came before, though it arrives almost a year later than many had hoped.
Jim Dalrymple at The Loop says:
My experience with the iPhone 5, iOS and the EarPods has been great. The iPhone is everything Apple said it would be and with iOS 6 built-in, it's clear to me that Apple has another winner on its hands.
I can't think of any good reason why anyone wouldn't upgrade or purchase the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 5 goes on sale this Friday at 8 a.m. local time, an event that is preceded by the release of iOS 6 at some point tomorrow.
More to come...
