iPhone 5 announced!

Well, finally after so many rumours and so much anticipation. Apple has announced the iPhone 5 which follows on from the 4S with a taller display, new processor chip and thinner form factor. The new iPhone is really thin at 7.6mm thick and is only bigger in height being 123.8mm in comparison to the iPhone 4S's 115.2mm.

Specs wise, the iPhone 5's display is taller making it 4-inches with a resolution of 1136x640 and retaining that retina goodness, powering it is Apple's newest generation A6 processor, however there isn't any details on number of cores or an actual clock speed but has 1GB of RAM and run iOS 6 well. Camera's include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. Internal storage is the usual 16/32/64GB variants with no way of expanding.

I'm disappointed, yes, the screen and processor -which are arguably the most important features on a phone, may have been changed. But Apple really needs to come up with a different design, it's old and boring and it needs a refresh. Still, It's nice to see a new iPhone and it will most likely sell well.
