What new with the iPhone 5?Apple iPhone 5

> Well, it is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the iPhone 4S.
> The screen size is a little disappointing at 4″ (10.2cm) with a 16:9 ratio, which is a lot smaller than it’s competitors, and it has an 8mp camera.
> The design has not changed all that much, it is longer, and still looks great, but it is a bit of a let down.
> The A6 chip, designed by Apple is said to make it twice as fast as the 4s, which is obviously great news.
> The earphone connector is now at the bottom of the phone, and it has a new connector for charging and accessories, called the Lightning connector. It features an reversible all-digital, eight-signal design.
