Apple has announced that iPhone 5 will be available in US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK on Friday, September 21. iPhone 5 will be available in 22 more countries on September 28.
The updated handset has a larger screen, faster processor, LTE connectivity and an improved built-in camera. It’s all packed into a device that’s even smaller than the previous iPhone 4S.
When held horizontally, the four-inch screen has 16:9 proportions, a perfect fit for HDTV shows and a better fit for movies. The added screen length gives the Home screen room for a fifth row of icons.
The new screen has 44 percent better color saturation and full sRGB rendering. Touch is integrated into the display, which makes the display thinner, sharper and less prone to glare in sunlight.
