Apple has introduced the iPhone 5, the latest version of its best-selling smartphone, with a taller screen, faster mobile broadband access and an upgraded camera.
Prepare for round-the-block queues, a new Apple iPhone is coming to town and, as ever, this one is slimmer and faster than before.

Apple announced the iPhone 5 at an event in San Francisco last night. Showing off the new smartphone, Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing chief said: "We've updated very aspect of iPhone 5."

The new handset is 18 per cent thinner and 20 per cent lighter than the iPhone 4S but runs twice as fast, with graphics that are twice as fast, thanks to a new processor, said Schiller. Apple has also upgraded the camera in the iPhone to include new features such as a low-light mode and a panorama feature.

The iPhone 5 is Apple's first smartphone capable of 4G, the super-fast mobile broadband technology that is due to begin in Britain within weeks. Earlier this week, mobile network EE announced plans to launch a 4G service imminently and the iPhone 5 is likely to be one of the handsets available to new customers.

Britain's other mobile networks cannot begin offering their 4G services until next year, after an auction of extra radio spectrum.
