Apple unveils iPhone 5 officially.

Apple may be well known as a company that does not dispense information always, but the company appears to be getting worse and worse at actually keeping things under tight lips. The iPhone 5 appears to be the most leaked handset in existence.  All the suspense came to an end yesterday as they officially announced the world thinnest smart phone. The next-gen iPhone is finally here and it does, in fact, go by the numerical title of 5. Just like the parts that have been circulating on the web.

The iPhone 5 looks very similar to previous models but has a larger screen and is lighter and thinner than the iPhone 4S. The company says the larger screen will make it easier to check and send e-mails and to view Web pages with the phone in your hand. The phone also comes with a new, faster processor called the Apple A6; and it connects to mobile carriers with a first ever smart phone 4G LTE connections, making for speedier Internet browsing.

When the iPhone 5 ships, you'll always have your choice of two colors: black or white. The white has a raw aluminum back (not unlike the original iPhone) and the black sports a dark anodized body. As expected the iPhone 5 will start at $199 for the 16GB model, while the 32GB will cost $299 and the 64GB $399 -- so no changes there. Sadly, we're still waiting on a 128GB version. Shipments in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore start on September 21st, but you'll be able to pre-order starting on the 14th. Apple plans to add 20 more markets in the coming month.

Specification:

Weight: 112grams (20% lighter)
Screen: 4”
Pixels: 1136 x 640
Very easy to use, beautiful in the hand to type and send mails very fast with more apps on the home screen.

Apple also unveiled a new line of iPods, including an iPod nano with a 2.5-inch touchscreen. That device, which starts at $150, is able to pause live radio. And Apple updated its headphones, now called Earpods, to have better audio quality and a new look.
