So much more than before. And so much less, too.
A remarkably slim design that still makes room for a larger display and a faster chip. Ultrafast wireless that doesnât sacrifice battery life. And all-new headphones designed to sound great and fit comfortably. So much went into this iPhone. So you could get even more out of it.
All-new design. The thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever.
Thin, sleek, and very capable.
Itâs hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so many features: a larger display, a faster chip, the latest wireless technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and more. All in a beautiful aluminum body designed and made with an unprecedented level of precision. iPhone 5 measures a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams.1 Thatâs 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S. The only way to achieve a design like this is by relentlessly considering (and reconsidering) every single detail â" including the details you donât see.Â
Anyone can make a larger smartphone display. But if you go large for largeâs sake, you end up with a phone that feels oversize, awkward, and hard to use. iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display designed the right way: itâs bigger, but itâs the same width as iPhone 4S. So everything youâve always done with one hand â" typing on the keyboard, for instance â" 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. Even more apps on your Home screen.
Itâs more vibrant, too.
This isnât just a larger display. Itâs a larger Retina display. At 326 pixels per inch, it has a pixel density so high your eye canât distinguish individual pixels. And as stunning as the Retina display is on the iPhone 4S, this one gives you 18 percent more pixels for an impressive 1136-by-640 resolution. Colors get a boost, too, with color saturation thatâs 44 percent 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 â" without letterboxing.
iPhone 5 is nearly 9 millimeters taller than iPhone 4S, but itâs the same width. So itâs just as easy to type with one hand.
Ultrafast wireless. Connect to fast data networks. The world over.
LTE. The right way.
You rely on your iPhone. So a thin, light design and outstanding battery life are important to you. But so is a fast data connection. LTE wireless technology is built for speed, but adding it to a phone can create bulk and drain battery life quickly. iPhone 5 does LTE the right way â" optimized for better battery life and designed for ultrafast connectivity in a thin profile. The very things you want most from your smartphone.2
Next-generation cellular and wireless connectivity.
iPhone 5 supports more networks all over the world. That includes advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. Browse, download, and stream content at ultrafast speeds. Dual-band 802.11n wireless connectivity accelerates your Wi-Fi experience, too â" up to 150 Mbps.3
