Technical Specs and Features of the Apple iPhone 5 (Video Link)

Written by on

Here are some technical specifications and features of the new Apple iPhone 5. In my opinion, the product is a great product but lacks the kind of “surprise elements” that many are hoping to get.

With the announcement of Samsung GALAXY S III and Nokia Lumia 920, many are waiting for Apple to deliver the “best” iPhone ever. I believe that they have did that but just not enough to satisfy everyone. (You can check the comparison chart of iPhone 5 with competitors here)

For example, the lack of NFC, wireless charging and the changing of the connector port (Lightning) without any information on the capability except that it is smaller and reversible. And the introduction of another type of SIM card, the Nano SIM card.

One thing I have to admit is that in terms of making it right, Apple has always been good at it. For example, its battery life has been fairly accurate and good. The antenna is also something that (I think) is a great design and the details in making the product is what makes Apple fans super happy. And the 3 mics available on the iPhone 5 might make a difference in terms of voice recording.

Here is the specs of the new iPhone 5.
