After a long anticipation of the newest and most wanted Apple device, finally, with great journalist attention, the iPhone 5 was presented and released. With a bit of “delaying”, Apple's company director Tim Cook spoke about the company’s successes in the past period, and then the Apple's Marketing executive director Phil Schiller stepped on stage and revealed the flashpoint of the conference, the Apple iPhone 5 is presented. Dimensions [caption id="attachment_2899" align="alignleft" width="300"] iPhone 5 has smaller dimensions than it's predecessor[/caption] iPhone 5, just as it was expected, brought new high standards that (in this moment) seem beyond reach for most of the mobile technologie production companies. Both hardware, and software. But let’s go one step at the time. The iPhone 5, when compared to its predecessor, has smaller dimensions 123.8x58.6x7.6 mm and 20% lighter with its 112 grams. They achieved this by using aluminum and glass components for construction of the entire device. The Apple company claims the iPhone 5 is the thinnest smartphone that can be found worldwide. The manufacturers from the Apple company also claim that the new iPhone 5 is something like no one has ever made, not even close.. Display [caption id="attachment_2900" align="alignleft" width="300"] The iPhone 5 is presented with a 4inch Retina display[/caption] iPhone 5 is presented with a 4inch Retina display, which is quite bigger than the one in the iPhone 4 and its quality is just fantastic. The display has kept the iPhone 4 resolution with 1136x640 pixels, 325 pixel/ inch, and a 16:9 ratio. A new 30% thinner display has integrated touch sensors in itself, and a helpful extra row of application icons were added which makes the using of the iPhone 5 even easier. We also need to mention that the saturation of the display is increased by 44%. The iPhone 5 is presented with a whole bunch of improved performances, and one of the most interesting is the ultrafast a/b/g/n Wireless connection with 150Mbps speed, and a 4G LTE (100Mbps) connection, that makes this phone the first of its kind ever. The iPhone is equipped with a Dual core A6 processor and it has a double speed and efficiency than the iPhone 4’s AG. This double speed equally applies to the new GPU graphic adapter that provides high quality mobile graphics, the one we have on gaming consoles. The new processor chip is 22% smaller, and the production of this chip is cheaper and simpler. Camera [caption id="attachment_2902" align="alignleft" width="300"] The iPhone 5 features a 8MP camera[/caption] The iPhone 5 is presented with a 8MP iSight camera, it’s protected with sapphire glass, and although the iPhone fans hoped for a 12MP lens, it is absent. But that is not a issue to worry about because the iPhone 4 was also equipped with a 8MP camera and still made extraordinary pictures. The resolution of pictures made by this 8MP camera is 3264x2448, and the new camera is greatly improved with a Hybrid IR Filter that allows 44 more light through the lens which guaranties higher picture quality. This camera is also capable of Full HD video (1080p) recording and the video stabilization is improved as well. In the new iPhone 5, the Iface Time application (video call app) has been also improved and now performs HD video calls and not only with a Wireless internet connection, but also with the regular operator service.The iPhone 5 camera allows 240 degree panoramic picture taking, during which, by the words of Phill Schiller, the phone uses up to a staggering 28MP. This panoramic picture taking is enabled by the “cooperation” of the A6 chip, the Gyroscope and the photo processing application that this phone features. The cameras user interface is 40% faster than the one iPhone 4 is using, and the camera chip itself is for a quarter smaller than the previous. Software [caption id="attachment_2903" align="alignleft" width="300"] The new iOS 6 has a wide range of application support[/caption] The software that iPhone 5 uses, is a iOS 6 operating system, and in terms of pre installed application it did not bring some major changes. It is definitely too early to speak of any BUG problems that this phone has because of the lack of using experience, but if the iPhone 5 kept its traditional software stability (and we have no doubt it did), than this smartphone should be one of the most stable devices today. Another interesting detail and improved feature is the iPhone’s battery. The manufacturers of this phone claim that one charging provide up to 8h of 3G talk time, or an impressive 40h of music playing. The iPhone 5 is presented with a 8 pin connector, that is abot 80% smaller than the last one and eliminates the “which end goes to the phone and which in the charger ” situation. The manufacturers in Apple called it the “Lightning”. To wrap things up, Apple left a pleasant surprise, and that surprise is concerning the price of course Iphone 5 will be available for purchase in the U.S. for $ 199 for the 16GB model, $ 299 for the 32GB model and $ 399 for a 64GB model, with a two year contract. The SIM free version should cost 800 dollars. Apple has announced the end of the iPhone 3GS sale.. [caption id="attachment_2904" align="alignleft" width="300"] The price of the iPhone 5 is affordable than it was expected[/caption] The iPhone 5 and the Apple company gave a pretty serious “homework” the its competition, and we believe that iPhone 5 will surpass the success of the iPhone 4, and the 10 mil units sale mark by the end of the first month. We also believe that it might easily outsell the Samsung’s Galaxy S3 that should be the most competitive device to the iPhone 5. Some rumors came out that Samsung already has the Galaxy S4 prepared. This “cat and mouse” game, and the war for a bigger share of market, that makes these companies continuously producing new models with greater possibilities only suits the buyers, because companies like Samsung or Apple are constantly pushing the boundaries of technological maximum in the commercial streams. Anyway, we should forget these things for now, and use the moment to enjoy the perfection called iPhone 5.
