The most awaited Smart Phone i.e. the Apple iPhone 5 is finally here now. The New iPhone 5 is So much more than before and so much Less, too. This iPhone has a remarkably Slim Design that still have a Larger Display and a very Fast Chip. Its Ultra fast Wireless doesn't Sacrifice Battery Life and the all new Headphones are just Designed to Sound Great and Fit Comfortably.
So Apple has inserted much into this iPhone 5 so that we could get even more out of it.

We have Reviewed the all new iPhone 5 and now here we discuss the Full Specification of this great Phone.



Design
The Thinnest, Lightest, Fastest iPhone ever
iPhone 5 Design

iPhone 5 is just 7.6 millimeters Thin and Weighs just 112 grams and is nearly 9 millimeters Taller than iPhone 4S, but it’s the same Width. So it’s just as easy to type with one hand.
It is Sleek and Very Capable offering so many best Features, all in a Beautiful Aluminum Body designed and made with an unprecedented level of precision.
To make that happen, Apple engineers had to think small, component by component. They created a nano-SIM card, which is 44 % smaller than a micro-SIM Card. They also Developed a Unique Cellular Solution for iPhone 5.
The conventional approach to building LTE into a World Phone uses two Chips, i.e. One for Voice and other for Data.
On iPhone 5, both are on a Single Chip.

The intelligent, reversible Lightning connector is 80 % Smaller than the 30-pin Connector. The 8MP iSight Camera has even more Features, like Panorama and Dynamic Low Light Mode, yet it’s 20 % Smaller. The New A6 Chip is Up to 2x Faster than the A5 Chip but 22 % Smaller. Even with so much inside, iPhone 5 is 20 % Lighter and 18 % Thinner than iPhone 4S.

Display
Apple's Thinnest Display ever
iPhone 5 Display
Making a thinner, lighter iPhone meant even the Display had to be Thinner. Apple Engineers accomplished that by creating the First Retina Display with Integrated Touch Technology. Which means instead of a separate Layer of Touch Electrodes between Display Pixels, the Pixels do Double Duty, acting as Touch Sensing Electrodes while Displaying the Image at the same time. With one Less Layer between you and what you see on iPhone 5, you experience more clarity than ever before. All on a display that’s 30 % Thinner than before.

iPhone 5 Thinnest DisplayiPhone 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 and even more Apps on your Home Screen.
iPhone 5's 4 Inch Display
It isn't just a larger display, it’s a Larger Retina Display which is the more Vibrant. 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 % more Pixels for an impressive 1136 by 640 Resolution. Colors get a Boost with Color Saturation that’s 44 % 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 Letter boxing.

How is iPhone Made ?
How iPhone 5 is made ?

iPhone 5 is made with a Level of Precision you'd expect from a finely crafted watch, not a smartphone. This Degree of Fit and Finish has never been applied before to any Phone. During manufacturing, each iPhone 5 Aluminum Housing is Photographed by two High Powered 29MP Cameras.

A machine then Examines the Images and Compares them against 725 Unique inlays to find the Most Precise match for every Single iPhone. If you take a look at the iPhone 5 and you can’t help but notice the Exquisite Chamfer surrounding the Display. A Crystalline Diamond Cuts this Beveled Edge. It’s what gives iPhone 5 its distinctive lines. Fitting for a Phone so Brilliant.

The iPhone 5 has Aluminum and Glass Body. The back of iPhone 5 is made of Anodized 6000 Series Aluminum, the same material used in Apple notebooks, with inlays along the Top and Bottom made of Ceramic Glass ( on the white and silver model ) or Pigmented Glass ( on the black and slate model ).

The All New EarPods
Completely Re-Imagined from the Sound Up
iPhone 5's All new EarPods
124 Research 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. It’s not easy to create Earbud Style Headphones that not only feel good in your ears, but also sit Securely in your Ears. Using Optical Scans combined with Silicone Molding, Apple designers created 3D models of various Ear types to find a Common Shape across many different people. That Shape led to the Unique Look of the new Apple EarPods. Unlike Traditional Circular Earbuds, their design is defined by the Geometry of the Ear. Which makes them more Comfortable for more people than any other Earbud Style Headphones. They’re more Stable and Durable, too. Apple’s Industrial Design team tested 124 different prototypes of the EarPods on over more than 600 people to test over 100 Iterations of the Apple EarPods. Testers ran on Treadmills in Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold. They performed various Cardio Workouts. They were even asked to Shake their Heads Side to Side, Up and Down.
iPhone 5's All new EarPods
The Result, Apple EarPods provide Stronger Protection from Sweat and Water, and they’re remarkably stable in the Ear. Which means they stay in, even when you’re on the go. 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, Second on the Back, and Last 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. The iPhone's Earbud Acoustics
iPhone 5's EarPods Acoustics
The biggest determinant of what you Hear from any Speaker is the movement of its Diaphragm. The Inward and Outward Motion is what creates Sound. But Earbud Speaker Diaphragms are Typically made from a single material, which can Limit Sound output. So Apple Acousticians Re-Engineered an Earbud Speaker Diaphragm with both Rigid and Flexible materials to minimize Sound Loss and Maximize Sound Output. Adding to the Superior Audio Quality are Strategically placed Acoustic Vents. The most notable of these Vents is the one located in the Stem of each EarPod. It allows Air inside the Stem, which acts as an Acoustic Chamber, to flow out. So you Hear Deeper, Richer Bass Tones. The overall Audio Quality of Apple EarPods is so Impressive, they Rival High-End Headphones that Cost Hundreds of Dollars more.
UltraFast Wireless

The All New Lightening Connector
