It has been just two week since the iPhone has been in stores and if you're still on the fence about whether to get Apple's latest device or go for Android, a latest report might help.

According to Consumer Reports' Mike Gikas, the "iPhone 5 is among the best smart phones in our Ratings and the best iPhone yet." 

Consumer Reports also said that Apple's highly criticized map apps is "competent enough," although the organization's initial "impressions" found that fell "fell short of the best third-party navigation apps."

"Now that our auto experts have completed their tests, including some carried out some days after the launch, they describe the app as relatively streamlined, and concluded that it generally provides clear guidance, including voice and on-screen directions," Gikas said. 

Apple estimates that there are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps and iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. 

Gikas said the auto experts found that the app "lacks the details, traffic data, and customization options offered by the free Google navigation app found on Android phones."

One of the biggest complaints about Apple's Maps App is it's flyover feature, which omits landmarks and other noticeable world structures. For example, an error in the maps application incorrectly locates an airport in South Dublin.

"Android has more detailed maps, better traffic info, and more customization. Apple has a few glitches, and until those are worked out, Android carries the day," Gikas said.

But Gikas said the testers found that "Flyover delivered rather intriguing 3D representations that bring a map to life."

Apple's CEO Tim Cook apologized last month for the "frustration [the app] has caused customers and promised to be doing everything they can to make the app better.

But despite the missed opportunity with the Maps App. Gikas said a larger, 4-inch display, a thinner and lighter shell, 4G LTE access and other "innovative features" is the reason why the iPhone 5 has blown passed iPhone 4S and a number of other new Android-based smart phones.

According to Gikas, voice-control is a competitive area and while Android capabilities are "quite good, they're no match for Siri." 

According to Consumer Reports, the iPhone 5 outperforms the Android when it comes to pictures and videos. 

"In the full battery of tests we give to smart-phone cameras, the iPhone 5's camera proved capable of capturing beautifully sharp and vibrant photos," Gikas said. In fact, excluding the phenomenal 41-megapixel camera we tested on the Nokia 808, the iPhone 5's 8-megapixel camera is the best we've seen on a smart phone."

The tests did find that contrary to Apple's claims, iPhone 5's low-light and flash shots to be notably better than those from the iPhone 4S.

Consumer Reports said the new iPhone 5 is now among its top-rated phones, up with the Samsung Galaxy S-3 and the Motorola Razr.
