What you should know about iphone 5

After all the waiting, the iPhone 5 is finally here. For starters, it’s a lot lighter and thinner than the 4S. It also has a taller, 4in screen that allows an additional row of icons to be displayed on the home screen, and the Retina display ensures that photos and video look fantastic. The iPhone 5 has 4G LTE capabilities, and EE (Everything Everywhere) is set to make this feature available in the UK for the first time, with other providers expected to follow suit early next year. The new handset is said to have better Wi-Fi, too. The device is powered by a new A6 processor, which Apple claims is two times faster than the A5 used in the iPhone 4S. The battery life has also been given a boost. One of the more controversial additions is the ‘Lightning’ connector, which is smaller than its predecessor, so you’ll need to buy an adapter for your older accessories.
