Apple finally revealed their next Apple phone at their convention. In a true dramatic fashion the device raised up from a platform out of the ground. Apple’s IPhone 5 looks similar to the leaked images around the web. The iPhone 5 is a bit taller than its predecessor. Apples new device is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the iPhone 4S.
Furthermore, the new device will feature a stunning 4″ 1136×640 Retina Display that has 326 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5 will also use an A6 processor, which is 2x faster in processing and graphics performance than the 4S. EA Also showed a demo of Real Racing 3f to demonstrate the improved performance.

200 for the 16gb version? With contract right?
I am not sure, but I believe that is the case.
Yes, it requires a two year contract. You can check it out on apples website under the second footnote towards the bottom of the page.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Requires new two-year wireless service contract; sold separately to qualified customers. Credit check required; must be 18 or older. Wireless service is provided by and is the sole responsibility of your wireless service provider. Wireless service and some wireless features are not available in all areas. Some features may require added fees. When available, transferring your mobile number to a different service provider will terminate your service with your existing provider; termination fees and other charges may apply.
yeah well, over here it will cost 700 euros for the cheapest version and that’s that. No contracts here to help with pricing or anything.
I’m pretty underwhelmed by the announcement, there’s nothing that really makes me want to change from my 4S.
I agree. So Apple what, finally *almost* caught up to Android’s highest spec’d phones. Meh. Also, their new iPod Nano looks like a shrunken Nokia Lumia.
I am, however, interested to hear what the new headphones sound like. According to Apple “they rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of pounds more.”
I use a paid of Sennheiser HD25’s – I’m very doubtful that they’ll be better than them.
How can something that small rival a full headset?
