iPhone 5 Features vs iPhone 4s: Specs and Release Date

Will buying the iPhone 5 be worth it? Sleeker, faster, and more capabilities than ever - iPhone 5 specs will trample all of it predecessors including iPhone 4S.

The iPhone changed the game for cell phones users with its first release in 2007. It's quite safe to say that it will do it again! What's so special about the iPhone 5, the latest addition to Apple's smartphone family? Glad you asked!

For starters, every smartphone collector has a love and hate relationship with their phone. It's cool to surf the Internet, download, work the apps and of course make calls but alas, the stronger and more capable the phone, usually the weaker the battery. iPhone 5 has solved this issue. It will have a battery life of 225 hours on standby and 8 hours full hours, while the user is able to surf the net and make downloads via a 3G network.

The increased battery life isn't the only benefit. The iPhone 5 will leave its 4S brother in the dust when it comes to speed because of two new updates. First, the 5 will make the great leap into the  LTE community, meaning mainly that downloads and streaming videos can be acquired at a quicker speed. In addition to this, while 4S was built around Apple's innovative A5 processor. As you would expect, the 5 has a new A6 processor which Apple says makes it twice as fast as the other.

Were you straining your eyes on the 4S's 3.5 inch display screen? Strain no longer because the 5 will offer a 4 inch screen, though slightly longer than its sibling. Don't let the height discourage you because although it's taller, it's thinner and 20% lighter.

Now for the music lovers, the iPhone 5 has something for you too. Improving upon its audio capabilities by including a "wide bandwidth" which covers more of the frequency spectrum, this is sure to make your music listening experience better.

One sad goodbye you may have concerning the 5 is it's old connectivity. The arrival of the 5 will come with a new charger that is 80% smaller than it's standard 30-pin that it has standardly employed so don't loose this one!

The much anticipated iPhone 5 will be available for preorder on September 14th and will begin to be shipped on the 21st.
