Notice that the bottom iPhone (iPhone 4) does not have an addition line. This &#8220;line&#8221; is actually the design of the antenna. Remember the <a href=\"http:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/tag\/antennagate\/\" target=\"_blank\">antennagate issue<\/a>? The iPhone 4s has &#8220;solved&#8221; it and therefore, you can also see this line on the iPhone 5. And of course, the iPhone 5 is longer (or taller) as shown in the picture.<\/p>\n<p>As for the SIM card holder, both iPhone 4 and 4s are using MicroSIM while iPhone 5 is using NanoSIM. I cannot understand the reason for using NanoSIM. I remembered Apple mentioned that every space in iPhone 5 is precious. Why did they design a holder that has the same size as a MicroSIM card holder?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31437\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2012\/09\/24\/phyiscal-comparison-of-3-generations-of-apple-iphone\/p1090233m\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DMC-LX5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1348452771&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.1&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"P1090233m\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31437\" title=\"P1090233m\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg?resize=600%2C400\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/P1090233m.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the other side of the iPhone.

Anyway, my thoughts on the new iPhone 5. It is boring but quality is the best I have seen in any phone. The slightly thinner body is really nice and the weight loss is a welcome &#8220;feature&#8221; of the phone too.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple finally releases the latest iPhone 5 last Friday (21st September).
