Internals
iPhone
5 comes loaded with the A6 processor which is two times faster than the
previous A5. The device speakers have shrunk down to 20%.
Wireless
Another
amazing feature in the iPhone 5 is its support for the 4G LTE. 4G on
the new iPhone supports upto 100Mbps. With 4G on the new iPhone, I’m
sure the HD videos/audios will go on stream much faster than the 3G.
Wifi now has two bands: 2.4Ghz and 5
Ghz, so I guess the Wifi will work much finer than the previous models,
rest assured the signals stay there.
Camera
The
new iPhone 5 comes loaded with a 28 megapixel iSight camera which can
now shoot in panorama mode, enabling you to easily take picture of wide
landscapes.
The front facing camera is also
improved; now it can shoot at 720p. you can check out some of the photos
taken from the iPhone 5′s camera here
Battery
Lightning Port
The new Lightning dock connector
features: 80% smaller than the previous 30-pin connector, an adaptive
interface, more durable, and can be plugged in to the device in any
orientation.
Accessories
With
the introduction of new Lightning dock connector, all previous
accessories don’t seem to work, but wait, Apple have solution for this –
which is dock connector converter named Lightning to 30-pin Adapter –
which will allow you to use your older accessories as well.
It is important to note that all older accessories are compatible with the iPhone 5, excluding cases and sleeves.
Also a new addition to the box is an all-new earphones called EarPods.
Nano-SIM
The iPhone 5 uses a new type of SIM card known as the Nano-SIM.
So those users who have the skills to cut their normal SIM to a
Micro-SIM will be disappointed to know that the Nano-SIM card is
completely different for the Micro-SIM, and thus it cannot be made at
home. So you’ll have to get a new SIM card from your carrier, which is
compatible with the iPhone 5.
Price
