THE IPHONE 5 IS FINALLY HERE

I don't even have iphone 1 and iphone 5 is already out..izzok! Anywayz, apple has finally released the new iphone 5(see pictures below) which was unveiled yesterday in the US after weeks of anticipation and it is said to be “the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone”. This iphone is thinner and lighter than the previous iphone, which Apple describes as the thinnest smartphone in the world

Phil Schiller, who is Apple's Marketing Vice President, said at the special unveiling published by Fox News that the new iPhone 5 is twice as fast as the 4S thanks to a smaller, faster processor called the A6. The new phone sports an 8MP camera, similar to earlier models, but it has better low-light performance and faster image captures. Here are some of the specifications of the iphone 5;

iPhone 5 supports ultrafast wireless standards including LTE and DC-HSDPA, so you can browse, download and stream content even faster. To support the latest LTE technology, Apple has pioneered a unique single-radio LTE solution that provides blazing fast speeds while fitting perfectly into the new remarkably thin design. iPhone 5 features dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi support for a wireless experience up to 150 Mbps.

The 8 megapixel iSight camera is the most popular camera in the world and with iPhone 5, it’s even better. The new camera is completely redesigned with incredible optical performance, yet amazingly it’s 25 percent smaller than the camera in iPhone 4S. The new iSight camera in iPhone 5 features a sapphire crystal lens cover that is thinner and more durable than standard glass with the ability to provide crystal clear images. The new panorama feature lets you capture jaw-dropping panorama images of up to 28 megapixels by simply moving the camera across a scene in one smooth motion.

iPhone 5 introduces new enhanced audio features including a new beam-forming, directional microphone system for higher quality sound, while background noise fades away with new noise canceling technology. iPhone 5 now includes support for cellular wideband audio for crisper word clarity and more natural sounding speech.

iPhone 5 comes with iOS 6, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new user features including: an all new Maps app with Apple-designed cartography, turn-by-turn navigation and an amazing new Flyover view; Facebook integration for Contacts and Calendar, with the ability to post directly from Notification Center; Passbook, the simplest way to get all your passes in one place.

I'm not sure of the retail price in the UK yet but be rest assured that it would be worth every penny.
