iPhone 5

Apple iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is 10 months old. That might not sound old but in the fast moving world of
top-of-the-range smartphones, the iPhone 5 could be considered middle-aged, paunchy and
preoccupied with looking at ads for hair transplant treatment.

Other manufacturers have upped their game, with Samsung now a very real threat to Apple’s
long-time dominance of top-of-the-range smartphones. The feature-packed Galaxy S4 has had
strong sales, but not as strong as Samsung hoped.

iPhone 5, codenamed N41/N42 and model number iPhone5,1, was the fourth major redesign and the
second major improvement to the iPhone's display. It went from a 3:2 aspect ration to a more
cinematic 16:9. The density stayed the same, at 326ppi, so that resulted in a size increase to
4-inches and pixel count increase to 1136x640 to fill up all that extra space. It allowed for an
extra row of icons, an extra message, and extra everything in general.

The excitement of the rumour mill, the titillation of every leaked photo led to higher than ever
levels of expectation over the iPhone 5 features, and while the announcement was greeted with some
derision at the lack of perceived headline improvements, the record sales tell an entirely different
 story.

Despite its internal problems HTC has created a sculpted masterpiece in the HTC One, while
even Sony has produced a truly competitive phone with the water-resistant Xperia Z. That's
before we even get into Windows Phone 8 and Blackberry 10..

Difference between iPhone 4 and iPhone 5:

Though the pixels-per-inch (PPI) are identical, the iPhone 5 display gains an extra half-inch of 

real estate. This ups the resolution and shifts the aspect ratio to an oblong 16:9. Longtime 

iPhone users may find it strange at first, but will soon appreciate the extra room for apps, 

photos, and web pages.

Apple also opted for a thinner display in the new model. Combining a layer of touch sensors 

also brings those pixels closer to the surface. The company also boasts of 40 percent greater 

color saturation in the iPhone
