Apple Announces the iPhone
5, Wednesday, with a design that is thinner and lighter than previous models
despite a larger 4-inch screen and 4 G LTE connectivity.
5′S pixel density IPhone
has not changed of 326 pixels per inch, but Apple using its jargon "Retina
Display" marketing for the new 1136-by-640 resolution screen. The width of
the screen or click on no, you have changed, but the screen of the workshop
allows an additional row of icons on the screen main and apps for more
information on the screen.
Applications must be
optimized for the new screen and those who will not just show a black border
along the top and bottom of the screen edges. Despite this, Apple has already
worked with the manufacturers of certain applications, such as CNN and Open
Table, and if previous iOS products indicate, developers should not too much
time to adapt to the new screen resolution.
Apple also jumped into 4 G
with iPhone 5 truck, added support LTE for the amount of data faster speeds. In
the United States, AT & T, Sprint and Verizon Wireless offer 4 G LTE iPhone
and AT & T version will use HSPA + faster networks in areas where the 4 G
LTE is not available. (To learn more about the heart of the wireless network,
and where it will be actually available, 4 G LTE see my post from last week.)
Although 4 G LTE tends to
add volume to smart phones, the iPhone 5 is 18% thinner than the iPhone 4 and
20% lighter, but it is higher to make room for the larger exhibition. It also
has a slightly different design that replaces the rear glass with aluminum
Panel.
For a processor, iPhone 5
has a chip A6, which Apple says it has twice the power and the power of
graphics such as the A5 chip in the iPhone 4. (Today Apple iPad has an A5X
processor, which is twice the graphics performance, but not the CPU).
The number of pixels to
iPhone 5′s the camera is the same as its predecessor, at 8 megapixels. However,
Apple says that it has improved the signal processing to reduce the noise,
speed up the capture time and improve performance in low light. IPhone 5 also
has a panorama mode that captures an image of big screen 28 megapixels as the
user pans around. IPhone 5′s front camera received a shot at 720 p.
The battery is a bit better
than the iPhone 4, with the same 8 g 3 hours talk time but 8 hours of browsing
on 3 G or 4 G, 10 hours of Wi - Fi browsing and 225 hours of standby time.
Music and video in time equal to 10 and 40, respectively.
As you would imagine Apple
lowers iPhone 5 dock connector. Instead of the old connector 30 pin, there is a
digital "lightning" connector. No, do not you connect in their own
accessories, but said Apple will offer an adapter. (No word or not will be
included either at your own cost). Last updated: $29 for the card, $ 39 for
cable adapter. Luckie.
Of course, hardware step
all while Apple spent a part of his press conference that reviewed the new
features in iOS 6, the latest version of the Apple iPhone software. My
colleague Matt Peckham has more details on it. (For phones older, 6 available
on 19 September iOS.)
Prices and colors have not
changed since last year. The iPhone 5 will be available in black or white and
in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB models, with a price of $199 and $299, $399 with
contract of two years respectively. Pre-orders begin on 14 September, and the
iPhone 5 comes on 21 September. IPhone 4s will be reduced to $99, while the
