Truly, iPhone 5 has reinvented itself and climb one notch higher. Apple also claims that "iPhone 5 is the thinnest smartphone in the world, with an all new 7.6mm annodized aluminum body that is eighteen percent (18%) thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone4s" (sometimes delicate glass back panel).
In the Philippines, although there is no reports yet of the availability of the iPhone 5, most likely it will be released first by Globe Telecom.
Apart from the new A6 Chip designed to maximize performance and deliver power efficiency, iPhone 5 will also surprise existing users with some new 'stuffs'. The EarPods (the newly designed earphone) socket is now located at the bottom of the device beside the smaller dock port called 'Lightning'. Also, iPhone 5 uses smaller integrated circuits found in iPhone 4 and 4s. Called the nano-Sim, iPhone is the first smartphone to use the technology.
