iPhone 5, the apple of my i?
Fresh out of the ‘Apple’ basket is the iPhone 5, released less than a fortnight ago
on 21st September 2012. It is the 6th generation from the iPhone line and the
highest selling Smartphone till date, with 5 million units sold within the first
three days of release.
Now, without much ado, let’s dive right in to the analysis!
The iPhone 5 is not a major deviation from its predecessor, the 4S, but it does
offer some very interesting and spanking new features. For a start, it is the first
of its line to support 4G LTE.
The new phone has a dual tone aluminium and glass back that makes it more
resistant to physical shocks. The phone adopts the unibody design with a non-
removable battery and no microSD card slot. It is also much lighter and thinner,
owing to a major change in dock connector section. The new 8 pin dock
connector, dubbed ‘Lightning’, replaces the old 30 pin one and comes with
duplicate pins on both sides of the cable so it can be used either way. The only
downside is there are compatibility issues with older Apple accessories which
can be solved only by shelling out an additional $30 for an adapter!
The phone’s dimensions remain the same except for the height - 123.8mm(H) X
58.6mm(W) X 7.6mm(D). It weighs a modest 112g. It has been made taller to
accommodate the larger 4-inch touch panel screen without any compromise on
the width. This is a good move as users are not inconvenienced by unnecessary
bulk and can still operate the phone easily with a single hand.
The USP of the iPhone 5 is definitely the display and the processing power. It
incorporates a Retina technology display with a resolution of 640 x 1136 pixels.
Retina technology is designed to smooth out the jagged edges of pixels to give a
very high quality image. It also packs 326 pixels per inch (ppi) which adds to
the visual experience. The new 16:9 aspect ratio makes it a treat to watch
movies and videos. Touch sensor technology from Sharp allows the touch panel
and thus the phone to be thinner.
The iPhone 5 is powered by a dual core A6 processor based on ARMv7
architecture and can climb up to a speedy 1.3GHz. Apple CEO Tim Cook was
right in claiming the A6 is twice as fast as the A5 processor. Further, the new
iPhone comes with 1GB of RAM compared to 512MB of its predecessor.

Coming to the photos and video recording, the iPhone 5 is equipped with a
