iPhone 5 Launched

The Most awaited Launch of the Year has finally arrived and Apple has launched the iPhone 5.




Design:It comes in an all glass front and an aluminum back casing in black and white. The iPhone 5 is a mere 7.6 mm thin and is lighter than the iPhone 4S.

Display: It also has a bigger 4-inch display with a 1136×640 pixel resolution giving it a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch. Hence it is now a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the first time Apple has implemented on any iOS device.

Processor: The iPhone 5 has a new A6 chipset rather than the A5X it used in the new iPad. Apple claims its CPU and GPU are twice as fast as the iPhone 4S

Connectivity: The iPhone 5 will have LTE connectivity but won’t be compatible with 4G LTE networks that are coming up in India. It also does have HSPA+ and dual carrier HSDPA along with dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11n.

Battery: Apple claims that the iPhone 5 can do 8 hours of talking or web browsing over 3G, 10 hours of web browsing over Wi-Fi, 10 hours of videos, 40 hours of music or 225 hours of standby.

Camera: The camera stays at 8 megapixel but it has backside illumination, a f/2.4 aperture, sapphire crystal and a dynamic low light mode. Apple has also added a panorama mode, the ability to click photographs while recording video and some interesting editing features. It remains to be seen how it compares to the Nokia Lumia 920, which we tend to believe has a better camera.


Connector: Apple has introduced a new 8-pin connector it calls Lightning.


The Bottom Line Remains that iPhone 5 is Lighter and Powerful than the 4S but the lack of wireless charging and NFC is bit of a disappointment.
