Thin, sleek, and very capable.
It’s hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so many
features: a larger display, a faster chip, the latest wireless
technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and more. All in a beautiful aluminum
body designed and made with an unprecedented level of precision.
iPhone 5 measures a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams.1
That’s 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S. The
only way to achieve a design like this is by relentlessly considering
(and reconsidering) every single detail — including the details you
don’t see.
More display means more to see.
Anyone can make a larger smartphone display. But if you go
large for large’s sake, you end up with a phone that feels oversize,
awkward, and hard to use. iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display designed
the right way: it’s bigger, but it’s the same width as iPhone 4S. So
everything you’ve always done with one hand — typing on the keyboard,
for instance — you can still do with one hand. On a larger canvas that
lets you see more of every web page. More of your inbox. More events on
your calendar. Even more apps on your Home screen.
It’s more vibrant, too.
This isn’t just a larger display. It’s a larger Retina
display. At 326 pixels per inch, it has a pixel density so high your eye
can’t distinguish individual pixels. And as stunning as the Retina
display is on the iPhone 4S, this one gives you 18 percent more pixels
for an impressive 1136-by-640 resolution. Colors get a boost, too, with
color saturation that’s 44 percent greater than before. So with
iPhone 5, the games you play, the words you read, the images you see,
and the apps you love look and feel incredibly vivid and lifelike. For
big-time entertainment, iPhone 5 lets you watch widescreen HD video in
all its glory — without letterboxing.
LTE. The right way.
You rely on your iPhone. So a thin, light design and
outstanding battery life are important to you. But so is a fast data
connection. LTE wireless technology is built for speed, but adding it to
a phone can create bulk and drain battery life quickly. iPhone 5 does
LTE the right way — optimized for better battery life and designed for
ultrafast connectivity in a thin profile. The very things you want most
from your smartphone.2
Next-generation cellular and wireless connectivity.
iPhone 5 supports more networks all over the world. That
includes advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. Browse,
download, and stream content at ultrafast speeds. Dual-band 802.11n
wireless connectivity accelerates your Wi-Fi experience, too — up to 150
Mbps.3
Faster CPU performance.
With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on iPhone 5
is noticeably faster — up to twice as fast compared with the A5 chip. So
apps launch, web pages load, and email attachments appear almost
instantly.
Faster graphics.
The A6 chip also offers graphics performance that’s up to twice
as fast as the A5. So you can power through graphics-intensive apps and
games. And enjoy higher frame rates for smoother, more realistic
gameplay.
Even better battery life.
Not only is the A6 chip custom designed to be fast, it’s custom
designed to work with iOS 6 to be extremely power efficient. So even at
its accelerated speed, iPhone 5 has more than enough battery power to
last throughout the day — up to 8 hours of browsing on a cellular
connection, up to 8 hours of talk time, and up to 10 hours of video
playback time.4
A breakthrough for ears everywhere.
Just like fingerprints, ears are unique parts of the body.
Which means earbud headphones fit differently on everyone. So rather
than use the speaker as the starting point for new headphones, Apple
designers and engineers started with the ear. They tested over a hundred
prototype designs on hundreds of people. All with the goal of creating
earbuds that rest comfortably inside — and stay inside — a variety of
ear types, while also producing quality sound. The result is a
breakthrough for earbud headphones: Apple EarPods. They’re unlike
anything you’ve ever seen or heard.
Apple EarPods are just the beginning of the improved audio
experience on iPhone 5. It’s designed with three microphones: one on the
front, one on the back, and one on the bottom. The front and back mics
work together to achieve beamforming — a technique that helps iPhone
focus on sound from the desired location for clearer audio. New
noise-canceling technology reduces background noise. So when you hold
iPhone up to your ear in a loud room, you hear what matters most: the
voice on the other end.
Panorama.
iPhone is the most popular camera in the world. For good
reason. Photos look so stunning, it’s hard to believe they were taken
with a mobile phone. And everything that made the iSight camera in
iPhone 4S the world’s favorite is now on iPhone 5 — and then some. The
new panorama feature lets you capture everything from a family reunion
group photo to a jaw-dropping shot of the Grand Canyon. With one smooth
motion you can shoot up to an impressive 240 degrees. The gyroscope, A6
chip, and Camera app work together to create one seamless,
high-resolution panorama up to 28 megapixels.
Even better features.
The Camera app also features improvements including 40 percent
faster photo capture, better low-light performance, and improved noise
reduction. So you can snap more shots with more detail and clarity than
ever before.
Enhanced HD video recording.
Imagine sidesplitting, adventure-filled, must-see flicks
produced by you and shot on iPhone 5. Record stunning 1080p HD video
with the iSight camera. Improved video stabilization helps prevent shaky
footage. Face detection for up to 10 faces means everyone can have a
moment in the spotlight. You can even take still photos as you record,
so you can capture small moments while shooting a big one.
FaceTime HD camera.
You use the front-facing camera on iPhone 5 to make FaceTime
video calls. And now those calls can happen over a cellular connection
if Wi-Fi isn’t available.5 The quality of FaceTime video
calls is so surprising, it’s as if you’re in the same room with
whoever’s on the other end. You can also use the front camera for taking
self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.
A new way to get connected.
Making iPhone 5 thinner and lighter required a pivotal change:
replacing the 30-pin connector with something newer, smaller, and
better. Introducing the Lightning connector. It features an all-digital,
eight-signal design that’s significantly more durable than the 30-pin
connector. Another brilliant feature of Lightning: It’s reversible.
Which means there’s no wrong way to plug in the cable.
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
Soon many iPhone accessories will be Lightning compatible. But
if you have one that depends on the 30-pin connector, you can still
connect it to your iPhone 5. Simply use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (sold separately).
Maps designed by Apple.
The new Maps app gives you a better way to find your way. Map
elements are vector based, which means graphics and text are incredibly
sharp, even when you zoom in. Pan around, and you’ll instantly notice
how smooth and responsive Maps is. Need directions from Point A to Point
B? Maps not only shows you how to get there, it tells you — out loud,
turn by turn. Maps also gives you real-time traffic information and
reroutes you to avoid delays. For a completely new perspective, switch
to Flyover and explore major metro areas from above with
photo-realistic, interactive 3D views.
Just ask Siri.
Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things
done, just by asking. Talk to Siri as you would to a person: “Do I need
an umbrella?” or “Any modern art museums around here?” or “Where’s the
closest ATM?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you
mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer.
Then, just like a personal assistant, Siri provides you with the
information you need.7
New Siri features.
With iOS 6, Siri understands more questions, knows more
answers, and gives you a lot more to talk about. Ask Siri about sports
scores and stats, where to eat, what movies to see — even ask Siri to
make Facebook posts or tweet for you. And Siri is fluent in more
languages, so it does more things in more countries.
The foundation of iPhone.
At the core of every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is iOS. It
includes all the built-in apps you use every day and all the intuitive
technology — like Multi-Touch and Siri — that makes iPhone so advanced.7
With every free iOS update comes even more capability for your devices.
You’ll find the latest version, iOS 6, already installed on iPhone 5.
So right out of the box, you get more than 200 new features to make the
things you do every day even better. 
Everything you need. Everywhere you go.
iCloud is built right into iPhone 5. Just turn it on and you’ll
have instant access to all the things you need, whether you’re on your
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.8 New features in iOS 6
let you do even more with iCloud. Share the photos you want with the
people you choose using Shared Photo Streams. Locate, lock, and recover
your misplaced phone easier than ever with Find My iPhone. Browse a web
page on one device and pick up where you left off on another device
using iCloud Tabs. And that’s just for starters.
iPhone 5 is a remarkable device. The same goes for the apps
that come with it. Because they achieve the perfect balance of
everything you need to do with everything you want to do — from emailing
your boss to filming your road trip — on the large, 4-inch Retina
display.
There are over 800,000 apps available from the App Store — many
of them free — to make iPhone more capable, more indispensable, and
more fun.9 Sign in to the App Store with your Apple ID, browse lots of categories, and download any app you want.
Put what’s on your iPhone on your HDTV. AirPlay wirelessly
streams content from your iPhone to Apple TV, so you can watch it on the
big screen.10 Turn on AirPlay Mirroring, and whatever you do
on your iPhone — tapping and scrolling, playing a game, even typing —
appears on your HDTV at the same time.
Print right from your iPhone over Wi-Fi with AirPrint. There’s no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables to connect. With just a few taps in Mail, Photos, Safari, or iBooks, you can send whatever’s onscreen to an AirPrint-enabled printer.
