RECAP:
Software: The iPhone 5 runs iOS 6, the newest operating system from Apple. Alongside, it will have a Passbook application, giving you access to coupons and deals straight to your phone. Also on iOS 6 is GPS Turn by Turn Navigation. The GPS is not powered by Google, but rather by Apple, made by scratch.
Hardware (aesthetically): The first thing that you will notice about the iPhone 5 is its screen. Apple has bumped the screen size to 4", giving it a 1136 x 640 resolution (326ppi.) It features a nano-sim card, 40% smaller than the regular micro-sim. The aesthetics of the device are mostly the same as the previous iPhone 4S, with the exception of the headphone jack now located on the bottom, and a new dock connector. Apple has changed their proprietary 30 pin connector, to a smaller, reversible 8 pin connector. (Adapters are available on sale for $29, and a full adapter with cable is on sale for $39) It weighs in at 112g with dimensions of 123.8mm x 58.6mm x 7.6 mm. Also included in the box is their new "Earphones." These "Earphones" are designed by Apple, with research done to learn the shape of one's ear. Testing with over 300 people, Apple's headphones are claimed to be a good fit.
Hardware (inside the hood): Inside the iPhone is a new A6 chip based on a dual core ARM Cortex-A15 processor. The exact mAh of the battery has not been released yet, but Apple claims it will give you 8 hours of talk time. Apple has also improved the camera, giving the iPhone 5 an 8 megapixel camera with an aperture size of f/2.4. Panorama mode has also been added, giving the iPhone 5 the ability to shoot panoramic shots at 28 megapixels. The camera shoots at 1080p at 30fps. The front facing camera is 1.2megapixels and is available to use over Facetime and Skype calls. The iPhone 5 also includes 3 microphones, cancelling any noise.
The iPhone 5 is currently available to pre-order (not available on apple.ca due to shortages) at your carriers. It will officially be released on September 21 in 16Gb ($699), 32Gb ($799), and 64Gb ($899) options in either Black and Slate or White and Silver. Note that Apple will NOT be selling unlocked devices this year at their bricks-and-mortar store. Unlocked devices will only be sold at apple.ca. The devices sold in stores will be carrier-locked.
