The new iPhone 5 is here and it’s a powerhouse!
Well, finally after all this time the new addition to the iPhone family is here! And what do you know, it’s a true powerhouse! Not only the hardware and design have changed but also iPhone 5 is running on the new iOS 6. All this together managed to create a beast of a phone and a true competitor or even a new king amongst quad-core smart phones! That is right! It is running with a new quad-core chip, designed by Apple, bearing the name – A6 chip. But wait, the RAM was increased, the phone is supporting the LTE mobile connection which may actually be faster than home wi-fi connections (As stated by Apple) and the display is even bigger! Now the phone uses the new 4″ Retina display especially designed for this phone and like it or not, the phone is even slimmer! You’d think that all this new hardware and display would make it thicker and in the best scenario the same thickness as the iPhone 4s but no, the new design is proof that Apple can create even slimmer devices and we will surely be waiting for them in the future. Lets get into the design and hardware. All right then, the iPhone 5 is just 7,6 mm thick and weighs just 112 grams! Apple have ditched the SIM card and the 30-pin connector for the 44% smaller micro SIM and the Lightning connector which is 80% smaller and is double sided so that the 50/50 chance of plugging it correctly is eliminated, now there is a 100% chance of success. The Retina display is currently the thinnest on the market but thin does not mean worse! The quality and the battery life have been improved by this action and because of the bigger screen the resolution has been increased to the whopping 640 x 1136! That means 326 pixels per inch! So again there will be no pixels visible by the naked eye. The 8mp camera is now protected by a sapphire glass which makes it extremely hard to scratch! There will be people testing that but i for one trust the statement and will not try to scratch it. The new touch about the camera software is the option to capture panoramic photos which can make a photo look like it was taken by a larger mp camera, not a phone. Lets not forget the chips! The A6 chip is 2x faster and 20% smaller then the A5 chip and the two chips responsible for the voice and data transfer have merged into one. That is the new Apple LTE design! All this to conserve the much needed space for the goodies! Ok then, lets talk...
