So Much More Than Before. And So Much Less, Too.
A remarkably slim design that still makes room for a larger
display and a faster chip. Ultrafast wireless that doesn’t sacrifice battery
life. And all-new headphones designed to sound great and fit comfortably. So
much went into this iPhone. So you could get even more out of it.
All New Design. The Thinnest, Lightest, Fastest iPhone Ever.
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. iPhone 5 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.
4-Inch Retina Display. It's Not Just Bigger, It's Just Right.
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 iPhone 5, the games you play, the words you read, the images you see, and the apps you love look and feel incredibly vivid and lifelike. For big-time entertainment, iPhone 5 lets you watch widescreen HD video in all its glory — without letterboxing.
* iPhone 5 is nearly 9 millimeters taller than iPhone 4S,
but it’s the same width. So it’s just as easy to type with one hand.
Ultrafast Wireless. Connect To Fast Data Networks. The World Over.
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. iPhone 5 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 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.
Faster CPU performance.
With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on iPhone 5 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.

A6 Chip. Performance And Graphics Upto Twice As Fast. With Battery Life To Spare.
With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on iPhone 5 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, iPhone 5 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.
All-New Earpods. Completely Re-Imagined From The Sound Up.
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 seen or heard.
Enhanced audio on iPhone 5.
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 other end.
iSight Camera. The World's Most Popular Camera Now Captures More Of The World.
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 iPhone 5 — 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 240 degrees. 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 iPhone 5. 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 a big one.
FaceTime HD camera.
You use the
front-facing camera on iPhone 5 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.
All-New Lightening Connector. Smaller. Smarter. Durable. Reversible.
A new way to get connected.
Making iPhone 5 thinner and lighter required a pivotal
change: replacing the 30-pin connector with something newer, smaller, and
better. Introducing the Lightning connector. It features an all-digital,
eight-signal design that’s significantly more durable than the 30-pin
connector. Another brilliant feature of Lightning: It’s reversible. Which
means there’s no wrong way to plug in the cable.
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
Soon many iPhone
accessories will be Lightning compatible. But if you have one that depends on
the 30-pin connector, you can still connect it to your iPhone 5. Simply
use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (sold separately).
Maps. Take A Turn For The Better.
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. Even More For What You're Asking For.
Just ask Siri.
Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things
done, just by asking. Talk to Siri as you would 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.
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.
iOS 6. The World's Most Advanced Mobile Operating System.
The foundation of iPhone.
At the core of every
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is iOS. It includes all the built-in apps you use
every day and all the intuitive technology — like Multi-Touch and Siri — that
makes iPhone so advanced. With every free iOS update comes
even more capability for your devices. You’ll find the latest version, iOS 6,
already installed on iPhone 5. So right out of the box, you get more than
200 new features to make the things you do every day even better.
iCloud. Your Content. On All Your Devices.
Everything you need. Everywhere you go.
iCloud is built right
into iPhone 5. Just turn it on and you’ll have instant access to all the
things you need, whether you’re on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. New
features in iOS 6 let you do even more with iCloud. Share the photos you want
with the people you choose using Shared Photo Streams. Locate, lock, and
recover your misplaced phone easier than ever with Find My iPhone. Browse a web
page on one device and pick up where you left off on another device using
iCloud Tabs. And that’s just for starters.
Stay tuned for more updates on iPhone. Thank You!
