Here's What You Need to Know About iPhone 5

Posted by Amber Lee on

Reviews are pouring in on the new iPhone 5, which means you've got a lot of reading to do. Or, not. I've searched the web and compiled the info you need to know right here. The main thing everyone wants to know is, how is the iPhone 5 different? Most consumers felt the iPhone 4 was a let down, but that probably won't be the case this time. 

 

iPhone 5 will become available to the general public Sept. 21st. 

How much? 

-$199 for the 16GB phone

-$299 for the 32GB

-$399 for the 64GB. 

 

The jist from CNET:

The good: The iPhone 5 adds everything we wanted in the iPhone 4S: 4G LTE, a longer, larger screen, and a faster A6 processor. Plus, its top-to-bottom redesign is sharp, slim, and feather-light.

The bad: Sprint and Verizon models can't use voice and data simultaneously. The smaller connector renders current accessories unusable without an adapter. There's no NFC, and the screen size pales in comparison to jumbo Android models.

The bottom line: The iPhone 5 completely rebuilds the iPhone on a framework of new features and design, addressing its major previous shortcomings. It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe.
