The iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display (i.e. it's larger than the iPhone 4S) and an aluminum and glass body that weighs 112 g and is 7.6 mm thick, making it 20 percent lighter and 18 percent thinner than the iPhone 4S. The phones will be two toned, coming in either "black and slate" or "white and silver."
The larger screen, not unlike the ones on Samsung's popular Galaxy smartphones, gives the new iPhone's display a 1,136 x 640 resolution and features Apple's Retina display.
The bigger display will help give your scrolling finger a rest, too: the iPhone's home screen allows for an additional, fifth row of icons. So on new iPhones, we'll be toggling back and forth less frequently when trying to find that app we want to open. (See it for yourself below)
Like most competing smartphones already on the market, the iPhone 5 will run on 4G LTE networks, meaning iPhone users can expect to browse the web much, much more quickly than before. The iPhone 5 is also powered by a faster A6 processor.
Phone calls -- you know, the first reason you had for buying a phone -- should be getting better too. The iPhone 5 will have three microphones and a noise-canceling earpiece, in addition to Apple's new "wideband" audio, which promises to "fill up more of the frequency spectrum" for clearer calls.
Apple claims the new iPhone 5 will have a battery that lasts even longer than previous models': 225 hours on standby and 8 whole hours while talking on the phone or surfing the web on 3G. The iPhone 4S promised 200 hours on standby, but many users complained it didn't last nearly that long.
The iPhone 5's front- and back-facing cameras have each been upgraded (they'll be 720p and 1080p, respectively) and users will be able to take much larger photos thanks to the new Panorama feature, which, you guessed it, lets you take high-def panorama photographs.
A rumor milling around the Apple blogosphere has also been confirmed: the traditional 30-pin power connector, first introduced in 2003, is out and a much smaller one called Lightning is in. According to Apple, Lightning is only 20 percent the size of the previous one.
And from there you have the same features as the iPhones before it.....

Hidden iPhone 5 Features
The iPhone 5 is full of hidden features and tricks that let users get more out of the iPhone 5 while they wait for iOS 7 to arrive. It’s been six months since the iPhone 5 launched, and most people don’t know how to get the most out of the iPhone 5. With this list of iPhone 5 hidden features, users will learn how to do more with the iPhone 5 without the need to buy any iPhone 5 accessories or third-party apps.
For users who do want an accessory to do more with the iPhone 5, we have a great list of iPhone 5 accessories and the best iPhone 5 car accessories, but everything on this list will work without spending anything. This list of iPhone 5 hidden features contains hard to find features that most users won’t know about, rather than secret features that users need a special code to unlock.
Users who want to do more, can jailbreak the iPhone 5 and install our list of the best Cydia apps and tweaks to take the iPhone 5 hidden features list to a new level
Here's a few hidden features:
Take a Photo While Recording VideoThe iPhone 5 lets users record video and take a photo without stopping. This feature is only available on the iPhone 5, and it doesn’t take a full resolution photo, but it is great for capturing a special moment in video and photo.
While taking video, tap on the small camera icon in the upper right.
The photos are 1920 x 1080, which is good enough for sharing online or most prints for home, but if photos really matter it’s worth making sure you are in photo only mode. This mode lets users take multiple photos while shooting video on the iPhone 5
.
Get Better ReceptionThe iPhone 5 features LTE which delivers blazing fast download speeds, but it can also cut battery life and in some situations leave users with a phone that can’t connect. While traveling in New York, we turned off LTE and went form no signal to full coverage in 3G.
This is slower, but it turned the iPhone 5 from an unusable LTE smartphone to one with a slower, reliable 3G signal. To do this, go to Settings -> General -> Cellular -> Enable LTE to Off. More on how to turn off LTE on the iPhone 5
.
Let Special Callers Through Do Not DisturbDo Not Disturb
is a great way to block incoming calls and texts, but it’s tough to turn off a phone all day when you need to be available to a spouse, boss or kids. Thankfully it’s easy to allow users to break through Do Not Disturb while keeping everyone else silent. Simply add a group to the whitelist and those callers go right through as if Do Not Disturb mode wasn’t on. It’s worth noting that this lets calls through, but not text messages.
Get an LED Alert for Calls and TextsFormer Android users may miss the LED alerts that let them know a call or text is coming in. The iPhone 5 doesn’t add a notification LED, but it is possible to use the camera flash as an improvised notification alert
. Tap on Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> LED Flash for Alerts -> On to enable this feature.
A word of warning, it is bright and may not fit in with your sleeping habits or in a meeting, but in loud environments it’s the best way to see a call or text on the iPhone.
Automatic WiFi BackupsForget about paying for extra iCloud storage and automatically backup the iPhone 5 to a Mac or PC using WiFi and iTunes. With this setting enabled, the iPhone will back up to your local computer when the computer is turned on, the iPhone is connected to the same WiFi network and is plugged in.
Read: How to Set Up iPhone WiFi Backups on a Mac
To set this up, plug the iPhone into a Mac or PC, open iTunes and then click on the iPhone page. From here there is an option to select back up to "Sync with this iPhone over WiFi".
This will ensure that the iPhone is backed up almost anytime it is charged at home. Users can check the last WiFi backup date on the iPhone by going to Settings -> General -> iTunes WiFi Sync.
