Apple iPhone 5
How did they do that? With the September launch of iPhone
5, its first major revision since the iPhone’s introduction, Apple
managed to add more than 30 percent more screen real estate, a
quad-core processor, 4G compatibility and two HD cameras, yet
still be thinner and lighter than the previous generation while
keeping prices level.
The iPhone 5 contains the A6, Apple’s latest custom ARM
Cortex A9-based quad-core SoC with PowerVR GPUs that
according to the company delivers double the application and
graphics performance of the A5X that powers iPhone 4S. The
sixth-generation iPhone takes on a sleeker look thanks to its 28nm
processor (compared with 45nm of iPhone 4), and supplements
its svelte stature with a two-layer display instead of three.
