iPhone 5 is the thinnest smartphone in the world, with an all-new 7.6 mm anodized aluminum body that is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S. Designed with an unprecedented level of precision, iPhone 5 combines an anodized aluminum body with diamond cut chamfered edges and glass inlays for a truly incredible fit and finish.

The new 4-inch Retina display on iPhone 5 delivers even more pixels than iPhone 4S, making the already incredible Retina display even better. By making the screen taller, not wider, iPhone 5 is just as easy to use with one hand so you can tap, type and scroll the same way you always have, while enjoying even more of your content including amazing apps optimized for the larger Retina display, widescreen HD video, a full five days of your Calendar and more of every web page.

iPhone 5 supports ultrafast wireless standards including LTE and DC-HSDPA, so you can browse, download and stream content even faster. To support the latest LTE technology, Apple has pioneered a unique single-radio LTE solution that provides blazing fast speeds while fitting perfectly into the new remarkably thin design. iPhone 5 features dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi support for a wireless experience up to 150 Mbps.

The all-new A6 chip was designed by Apple to maximize performance and power efficiency to support all the incredible new features in iPhone 5, including the stunning new 4-inch Retina display-all while delivering even better battery life. With up to twice the CPU and graphics performance, almost everything you do on iPhone 5 is blazing fast for launching apps, loading web pages and downloading email attachments.

The 8 megapixel iSight camera is the most popular camera in the world and with iPhone 5, it's even better. The new camera is completely redesigned with incredible optical performance, yet amazingly it's 25 percent smaller than the camera in iPhone 4S. The new iSight camera in iPhone 5 features a sapphire crystal lens cover that is thinner and more durable than standard glass with the ability to provide crystal clear images. The new panorama feature lets you capture jaw-dropping panorama images of up to 28 megapixels by simply moving the camera across a scene in one smooth motion. New video features include improved stabilization, video face detection for up to 10 faces and the ability to take still photos as you record. A new FaceTime HD front facing camera makes FaceTime calls incredibly clear and can also be used for self portraits and recording 720p HD video. iPhone 5 also allows you to share photos with friends and family using iCloud's Shared Photo Streams.

iPhone 5 features the new Lightning connector that is smaller, smarter and more durable than the previous connector. The all-digital Lightning connector features an adaptive interface that uses only the signals that each accessory requires, and it's reversible so you can instantly connect to your accessories. The Lightning-to-30-pin Adapter is also available to connect iPhone 5 to legacy 30-pin accessories.****

iPhone 5 introduces new enhanced audio features including a new beam-forming, directional microphone system for higher quality sound, while background noise fades away with new noise canceling technology. iPhone 5 now includes support for cellular wideband audio for crisper word clarity and more natural sounding speech. Wideband audio will be supported by over 20 carriers worldwide at launch. iPhone 5 comes with the new Apple EarPods featuring a breakthrough design for a more natural fit and increased durability, and an incredible acoustic quality typically reserved for higher-end earphones.

Just when i was saving for Galaxy sIII...

d chinko version shey

Same old thing(phone),The samsung galaxy s3 is way better jor !
iphone now iboring

If u ask me; galaxy II beats iphone 4 hands down; except in the area of speed(including camera capture speed), slimness (lighter weight) and slickness!!

I hope iphone5 would beat galaxy III.... But I was hearing a rumour thatt iphone5 has holographic display How true??

The contract prices are quite fair. I wonder what the actual unlocked prices would be when they get to naija?

Hmmmmmm I dont know. To be honest, i didnt expect much from apple.

and well they didnt disappoint in that area. Hmmm lets see taller iphone,

A6 chip, ios 6, Siri. Erm naaaa I will pass on this on this one.. My galaxy note (LTE version)

trumps the iphone in many ways. I will rather go get the ipod touch since its basically an iphone

minus LTE radio....

all these big grammer just to sell a phone?now, what i want to know is the value these vanity will impart in my life if not more vanity?our sisters will now have to double their "efforts" in acquiring one.so hyped,so overrated,so sad.ordinary phone.......

Nothing will make me change my phone, after calling and receiving,browsing etc pinging for bb, can its solve hunger problem?

All them oyinbo life na to dey find wey to collect money from africans, them build different moto so tay begin give dem honda bulldog,end of discussion, small time you go hear honda lion and honda human being, wetin dis phone wan do again, una go dey deceive people with bodu

i have never liked apple products, besides its overated in my opinion its more annoying cause it always like to have its relatives alone with it(mac, ipod, i whatever) would they expect me to throw away my acer and buy an everything apple just cause of an iphone (naa)....androids are more flexible to handle, can interact better with lots of other products- now that i would go for! so whether its iphone 91s or iphone4s i dont freaking care!

Oga oO! See big big grammer!

True!!!

The only thing missing from that list is CLASS!!! Owning an Iphone is a status symbol especially in Nigeria!!!!

I swear with God that anyone that uses s3 will never settle for this i-nonsense. for the past 2 months now, I virtually abandoned any other thing for s3. Little wonders the apple is soo obsessed with court cases since they don't have anything to offer. RIP i-shyyte!!

Says who? you must be living In the past. The only thing that create class difference in Nigeria is cars and palatable mansions and not some i- nonsense that I can confidently give out dozens without blinking my eye lash.

[s]You are sounding like some cheap hungry girls that will allow you fucck them front and back for just BB or galaxy tab.[/s]
