The New iPhone 5 (New iPhone 6-Gen) must have to been benchmarked to reveal tech specs of 2GB of RAM and an A6 1GHz processor. The RAM is double that offered by its predecessor, and new A6 chip.
Standout features that we've had a play with lie within the make-up of iOS 6. Maps has been rebuilt from the ground up and now looks sharper, quicker and has some flashy features such as the cool 3D Flyover that allows you to zoom right into satellite imagery and rotate around landmarks as if you're playing God.
It also includes turn-by-turn navigation that will have the likes of TomTom and Garmin reaching for the booze cabinet.
Appl also upgraded Siri. So now you can launch apps and post Facebook entries by voice. Don’t expect to have voice commands 100 percent accurate thought.
One of the biggest feature upgrades is with the camera. It's now branded iSight and, while offering the same 8mp lens, now has improved HDR and PhotoStream sharing.
Video recording remains at 1080p, while the front-cam is markedly better – 720p FaceTime being the standout feature. The headline newbie, however, is the panoramic mode that will stitch together a landscape shot in real-time and create an image up to 28mp in size.
The old lame earphones were upgraded to the new EarPods, which are better from the point of design and do sound better.
Screen
The most significant hardware change in our book is the screen. The Retina display is now upped to four inches and brags a 1136x640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi.
Real-estate is noticeably bigger, with a extra line of apps added to each screen and movies now playing in 16:9 without letter-boxing. It also means that there's simply more to look at when browsing websites, playing games and using apps.
Apple says apps built for the old screen will work just fine but it will allow developers to create new apps specifically for this screen. It didn't seem brighter in our short hands-on, but we were smitten with how much more information is now available to look at.
