Apple didn’t disappoint all the iPhone lovers like last year when the tech community were expecting the iPhone 5 and instead of unveiling iPhone 5, Apple unveiled iPhone 4S. But it’s never too late for anything; Apple marketing top executive, Phil Schiller, has finally taken off the curtains from iPhone 5 today in the Company’s event in San Francisco.

Apple have somehow managed to make iPhone 5 18 percent thinner than iPhone 4S, which makes iPhone 5 only 7.6 mm thick and is the thinnest smartphone ever build by Apple. The 4-inch wide screen has 44 percent color saturation than iPhone 4S and watching movies on iPhone 5 retina display makes you feel like watching on a HD. The new iPhone 5 is powered by a new faster processor called as ‘A6’ that makes the new iPhone 5 twice faster in performance and in graphics than the iPhone 4S, which makes it the fastest iPhone yet.
Apple iPhone 5 also supports 4G spectrum that makes it compatible with LTE networks. Apple iPhone 5 also features an 8-pin dock connector that is going to be called as ‘lightning.’ This definitely proved all the rumors right regarding the small dock connector to feature the iPhone 5. The iSight camera featured in iPhone is 8 megapixels having 3264×2448 resolution with backside illumination. The iPhone 5 camera is more like an iPhone 4S’s with some new additions.
