iPhone 5. Completely new features

Closest to the Apple developers are actively adapting their programs to use large workspace display. Well, those who are not in a hurry, in principle, does not harm the future users of the iPhone 5. Non-adapted program will see all the same pixel to pixel, and the screen top and bottom just grays out.

A few more interesting features: brightness - 500 nits, contrast ratio - 800:1, oleophobic coating (perhaps even better than in the iPhone 4S)

Farewell to the glass on the back of the phone and hello aluminum! Undoubtedly, the iPhone 4/4S design is cool and unique in the market, but the glass on both sides still less practical than the abundance of the metal on the back. IPhone 5 in the company returned to the roots. Instead of strong, but heavy steel ispolzovalaalyuminy it, and from it is made not only to the rim smartphone, but in fact, his entire body.
Changing the metal positive effect on the weight of the gadget - it is 20% legcheiPhone 4S (112 g vs. 140 g). In addition, the phone has become thinner. Here too there is merit aluminum housing, clearly executed on the principle Unibody. Apple managed to reduce the thickness of the iPhone by 18% (7.6 mm vs. 9.3 mm)

It was one of the biggest challenges we've ever solved - do much more functional phone than its predecessor, which in this case is even more compact and lighter. Everyone can make the phone more.

Add to the body. It is made of anodized aluminum 6000 series - the same used in laptops Apple. On the back of the silver (white) models at the top and bottom have white ceramic glass inserts. In bluish-gray or slate (slate) model uses inserts pigmented black glass.

Changing relations

Why did we choose this size? Yes, because of your consumers, hands - it should be easy to contain and it be easy to use. That's how we made the iPhone 5.

The changing diagonal display resolution and aspect ratio - is not the only changes in it. Color coverage extended to 44%. In fact, the quality of color he came to the new iPad, and among smartphones is generally unique figure.

Rumors about using In-Cell to create a display iPhone 5 were true too. The touch panel is integrated directly into the LCD matrix, along with color filters. Thus, the screen has become thinner, improved color rendering (no extra touch layer), and the cost, in theory, was lower.

When I say that the display looks better, no kidding - he really was the best.
