Everyone and their mother was expecting Apple to release the iPhone 5 today. While that went down as expected, Apple had plenty of surprises.<\/p>\n
The iPhone 5<\/a> is taller and faster than previous models. You can now get a 4″ Retina display on your iPhone 5, running on the same A6 chip that powers the New iPad. There’s also a major speed boost in the form of LTE and improved WiFi.\u00a0 Apple is also claiming some really great battery life. Not RAZR MAXX great, but eight hours of talk time great. If you’re a fan of Apple’s signature white earbuds, get help. Also, be prepared to be sad as Apple has ditched the classic earbuds for new earpods<\/a> that will hopefully be a little less painful to use. Apple has also killed the ubiquitous iPod Doc connector for a new Lightning connector. There will be an adapter available, but I’ve yet to hear of word on price. Be prepared to factor that into your purchase price too, though.<\/p>\n One cool factor is that instead of scaling up the apps on the iPhone 5, Apple has added unique features to all of the internal apps to take advantage of the extra screen real estate. Apple claims it’s easy for developers to do the same. A 16 GB iPhone 5 will cost you $199 on contract and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon.<\/p>\n
