About the Product & Features :

Thin, sleek, and very capable :

It's hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so many features: a larger display, a faster chip, the latest wireless technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and more. All in a beautiful aluminum body designed and made with an unprecedented level of precision. iPhone5 measures a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams.That's 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S. The only way to achieve a design like this is by relentlessly considering (and reconsidering) every single detail including the details you don't see.

More display means more to see :

Anyone can make a larger smartphone display. But if you go large for large's sake, you end up with a phone that feels oversize, awkward, and hard to use. iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display designed the right way: it's bigger, but it's the same width as iPhone 4S. So everything you've always done with one hand typing on the keyboard, for instance you can still do with one hand. On a larger canvas that lets you see more of every web page. More of your inbox. More events on your calendar. Even more apps on your Home screen.

It's more vibrant, too :

This isn't just a larger display. It's a larger Retina display. At 326 pixels per inch, it has a pixel density so high your eye can't distinguish individual pixels. And as stunning as the Retina display is on the iPhone 4S, this one gives you 18 percent more pixels for an impressive 1136-by-640 resolution. Colors get a boost, too, with color saturation that's 44 percent greater than before. So with iPhone5, the games you play, the words you read, the images you see, and the apps you love look andfeel incredibly vivid and lifelike. For big-time entertainment, iPhone5 lets you watch widescreen HD video in all its glory withoutletterboxing.

LTE. The right way :

You rely on your iPhone. So a thin, light design and outstanding battery life are important to you. But so is a fast data connection. LTE wireless technology is built for speed, but adding it to a phone can create bulk and drain battery life quickly. iPhone5 does LTE the right way optimized for better battery life and designed for ultrafast connectivity in a thin profile. The very things you want most from your smartphone.

Next-generation cellular and wireless connectivity :

iPhone 5 supports more networks all over the world. That includes advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. Browse, download, and stream content at ultrafast speeds. Dual-band 802.11n wireless connectivity accelerates your Wi-Fi experience, too up to 150 Mbps.

A6 Chip

Faster CPU performance :

With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on iPhone5 is noticeably faster up to twice as fast compared with the A5 chip. So apps launch, web pages load, and email attachments appear almost instantly.

Faster graphics :

The A6 chip also offers graphics performance that's up to twice as fast as the A5. So you can power through graphics-intensive apps and games. And enjoy higher frame rates for smoother, more realistic gameplay.

Even better battery life :

Not only is the A6 chip custom designed to be fast, it's custom designed to work with iOS 6 to be extremely power efficient. So even at its accelerated speed, iPhone5 has more than enough battery power to last throughout the day up to 8 hours of browsing on a cellular connection, up to 8 hours of talk time, and up to 10 hours of video playback time.

A breakthrough for ears everywhere :

Just like fingerprints, ears are unique parts of the body. Which means earbud headphones fit differently on everyone. So rather than use the speaker as the starting point for new headphones, Apple designers and engineers started with the ear. They tested over a hundred prototype designs on hundreds of people. All with the goal of creating earbuds that rest comfortably inside and stay inside a variety of ear types, while also producing quality sound. The result is a breakthrough for earbud headphones: Apple EarPods. They're unlike anything you've ever seenorheard.

Enhanced audio on iPhone5 :

Apple EarPods are just the beginning of the improved audio experience on iPhone 5. It's designed with three microphones: one on the front, one on the back, and one on the bottom. The front and back mics work together to achieve beamforming a technique that helps iPhone focus on sound from the desired location for clearer audio. New noise-canceling technology reduces background noise. So when you hold iPhone up to your ear in a loud room, you hear what matters most: the voice on the otherend.

Panorama :

iPhone is the most popular camera in the world. For good reason. Photos look so stunning, it's hard to believe they were taken with a mobile phone. And everything that made the iSight camera in iPhone 4S the world's favorite is now on iPhone5 and then some. The new panorama feature lets you capture everything from a family reunion group photo to a jaw-dropping shot of the Grand Canyon. With one smooth motion you can shoot up to an impressive 240degrees. The gyroscope, A6 chip, and Camera app work together to create one seamless, high-resolution panorama up to 28 megapixels.

Even better features :

The Camera app also features improvements including 40 percent faster photo capture, better low-light performance, and improved noise reduction. So you can snap more shots with more detail and clarity than ever before.

Enhanced HD video recording :

Imagine sidesplitting, adventure-filled, must-see flicks produced by you and shot on iPhone5. Record stunning 1080p HD video with the iSight camera. Improved video stabilization helps prevent shaky footage. Face detection for up to 10 faces means everyone can have a moment in the spotlight. You can even take still photos as you record, so you can capture small moments while shooting abigone.

FaceTime HD camera :

You use the front-facing camera on iPhone5 to make FaceTime video calls. And now those calls can happen over a cellular connection if Wi-Fi isn't available.The quality of FaceTime video calls is so surprising, it's as if you're in the same room with whoever's on the other end. You can also use the front camera for taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.

Maps designed by Apple :

The new Maps app gives you a better way to find your way. Map elements are vector based, which means graphics and text are incredibly sharp, even when you zoom in. Pan around, and you'll instantly notice how smooth and responsive Maps is. Need directions from Point A to Point B? Maps not only shows you how to get there, it tells you out loud, turn by turn. Maps also gives you real-time traffic information and reroutes you to avoid delays. For a completely new perspective, switch to Flyover and explore major metro areas from above with photo-realistic, interactive 3D views

Siri

Just ask Siri :

Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done, just by asking. Talk to Siri as youwould to a person: ""Do I need an umbrella?"" or ""Any modern art museums around here?"" or ""Where's the closest ATM?"" Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, Siri provides you with the information you need.7

New Siri features :

With iOS 6, Siri understands more questions, knows more answers, and gives you a lot more to talk about. Ask Siri about sports scores and stats, where to eat, what movies to see even ask Siri to make Facebook posts or tweet for you. And Siri is fluent in more languages, so it does more things in more countries.

When we envisioned the new iPhone, we landed on a remarkably thin and light design. But it's nearly impossible to make a device so thin and so light without sacrificing features or performance.

We could have taken the easy way out and designed something more reasonable and less remarkable. But we didn't. If the technology didn't exist, we invented it. If a component wasn't small enough, we re-imagined it. Ifconvention was standing in the way, we left it behind.

The result is iPhone5 : the thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhoneever.

iPhone 5 is just 7.6 millimeters thin. To make that happen, Apple engineers had to think small, component by component. They created a nano-SIM card, which is 44 percent smaller than a micro-SIM. They also developed a unique cellular solution for iPhone 5. The conventional approach to building LTE into a world phone uses two chips one for voice, one for data. On iPhone 5, both are on a single chip. The intelligent, reversible Lightning connector is 80 percent smaller than the 30-pin connector. The 8MP iSight camera has even more features like panorama and dynamic low-light mode yet it's 20 percent smaller. And the new A6 chip is up to 2x faster than the A5 chip but 22 percent smaller. Even with so much inside, iPhone 5 is20 percent lighter and 18 percent thinner thaniPhone4S.

Making a thinner, lighter iPhone meant even the display had to be thinner. Apple engineers accomplished that by creating the first Retina display with integrated touch technology. Which means instead of a separate layer of touch electrodes between display pixels, the pixels do double duty acting as touch-sensing electrodes while displaying the image at the same time. With one less layer between you and what you see on iPhone5, you experience more clarity than ever before. All on a display that's 30 percent thinner than before.

Earbud :

At the same time Apple designers were trying to define an ideal earbud shape, Apple sound engineers acousticians were focused on improving sound quality. First, they established a target sound for the Apple EarPods.

That target : a person sitting in a room listening to high-quality speakers.

The biggest determinant of what you hear from any speaker is the movement of its diaphragm. The inward and outward motion is what creates sound. But earbud speaker diaphragms are typically made from a single material, which can limit sound output.

So Apple acousticians re-engineered an earbud speaker diaphragm with both rigid and flexible materials to minimize sound loss and maximize sound output. Adding to the superior audio quality are strategically placed acoustic vents. The most notable of these vents is the one located in the stem of each EarPod. It allows air inside the stem, which acts as an acoustic chamber, to flow out. So you hear deeper, richer bass tones. The overall audio quality of Apple EarPods is so impressive, they rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of dollars more.

Maps :

More beautiful maps :

Elements in Maps are vector based, so graphics and text are incredibly detailed even when you zoom all the way in and panning is smooth. Use the tilt and rotate gestures to view an area, and Maps keeps the names of streets and places where they belong.

Turn-by-turn navigation :

As you approach a turn, Maps speaks the directions, so you can watch the road. Follow along with 3D views: Signs and arrows make it easy to see where you're headed. And if traffic's bad, Maps offers alternativeroutes.

Traffic info :

Maps uses real-time traffic conditions to calculate your ETA. You'll also get details about incidents that are causing traffic jams, so you can tell if there's a major accident ahead or just a temporary slowdown. Flyover.
