iPhone 5 is finally here

 

 The much awaited iPhone was officially launched yesterday September 12. Apple revealed that the iPhone 5 offers a Bigger Screen, 4G connectivity and it’s currently the World’s thinnest smartphone at 7.6mm.

 

The iPhone 5 release date is 21 September. iPhone 5 will be available in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the US on that date. It will roll out worldwide to 22 more countries on 28 September, including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. (Am putting Nigeria on this list jor!  Like they don’t know we are their biggest market).

Apple said “In terms of iPhone 5 price, we have a starting figure of $199 in the US with a contract, but nothing contract-wise for the UK as yet. We do have a £529 outright price though”.
By the way, the iPhone 4 and 4S will remain available, though the 3GS is now dead as a new product. Continue to read more

 

Some notable features of the new iPhone 5 are:

  1       Size/weight: In terms of size, iPhone 5 is 7.6mm thick and weighs 112g. It's 20 per cent lighter and 18 per   cent thinner and is made of aluminum and glass.

  2   Colour: Phone 5 has a two-tone back and comes in either white and silver or black and slate.

  3    Bigger Screen: The iPhone 5 has a bigger screen than earlier versions. There's a fifth row of icons on the home screen, while the display is the expected four inch version.

  4    Camera: The camera is smaller, but still has an 8 megapixel sensor size. It's almost exactly the same as that in the iPhone 4S in terms of spec.

  5    Dock Connector: The new 8-signal dock connector is called Lightning, though Apple says that between iCloud, AirPlay and wireless sync, you won't really need it. You can plug it in either way, while it's 80 per cent smaller than the old dock connector.

 

      The built-in apps for this phone are amaaaaazing. Can't wait to get one (All my friends and well wishers this message is to you. Y'all know my birthday is a month and a half time coming).
