At its much anticipated press event in San Francisco, Apple has revealed the iPhone 5.
Apple has announced the iPhone 5 during its highly anticipated press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Apple’s Phil Schiller took the wraps off the next generation smartphone to huge applause from those gathered in the auditorium, so here’s everything we know so far about the brand-new Apple iPhone 5.
Schiller described the new device as “a jewel,” and the “most beautiful product we’ve ever made.” As expected, it has a 4-inch touchscreen with a 1136 x 640 pixel Retina-quality resolution, while the design is identical to those we’ve seen leaked over the past months.
Billed as the “world’s most advanced display,” Apple has removed a layer from the screen and incorporated the touch sensors into the display itself.
The body is made from glass and aluminum, and weighs just 112 grams. It’s also 18-percent thinner than the iPhone 4 and 4S.
Inside hides a new A6 processor, which is 22-percent smaller and twice as fast as the A5 in the 4S, as well as providing twice the graphics performance too.
The iPhone 5 also supports LTE bands, using a single chip for voice and data, and a single chip for the radio too. Like Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD, the iPhone 5 has been equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, plus 802.11a/b/g/n.
The Apple event is ongoing, and we’ll update this article with more information as it’s announced.
