The device will run on a new processor from Apple called the A6, with Apple saying that its CPU is twice as fast as the iPhone 4S and also offers twice the graphical performance.
The new iPhone will include backside illumination, hybrid IR filter, five-element lens, f/2.4 aperture, dynamic low-light mode, precision lens alignment, and a sapphire crystal lens cover.
Apple said that the camera will include a feature called “smart filter” that will look at the image before the imaging signal processor does its noise reduction and determines which areas need uniform colour.
Photo capture is 40% faster with the new processor, Apple said, and the iPhone 5 camera will also boast a panorama mode.
According to Apple, much had changed since they first introduced the iPhone and it is time for a new connector.
Dubbed “Lightning” (in contrast to the “Thunderbolt” connector on Apple PCs), it boasts an all digital, 8-signal design; adaptive interface; improved durability; and can be plugged in with either side facing up (reversible).
The iPhone 5 comes in either black & slate or white & silver.
