 Iphone 5
The iPhone 5 is a touch screen-based smart phone developed
by Apple. It is the sixth generation of the
iPhone and succeeds the iPhone 4S. The
phone is a slimmer, lighter model that
introduces a higher-resolution, 4-inch
screen to the series with 16:9 widescreen
aspect ratio support. The phone
also includes a custom-designed
ARMv7 processor called the
Apple A6.
 Apple held an event to formally introduce the phone on
September 12, 2012.An update to Apple's mobile operating
system known as iOS 6, and support for LTE. Apple began
taking pre-orders on September 14, 2012, over two million
were received within 24 hours IPhone has been described by
Apple as "extraordinary", with pre-orders having sold twenty
times faster than its predecessors.
 Operating system and
software
The iPhone 5 uses iOS, Apple's mobile operating system. The
user interface of iOS is based on the concept of direct
manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. Interface control
elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons. Interaction
with the OS includes gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and
reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the
context of the iOS operating system and its multi-
touch interface. Internal accelerometers are used
by some applications to respond to shaking the
device (one common result is the undo
command) or rotating it vertically (one common
result is switching from portrait to landscape
mode).
The iPhone 5 uses iOS 6, which was released on September
19, 2012. Many of the iPhone 5's features that work
specifically with the included new iOS 6.0 operating system,
will only work in certain territories on release. Apple has said
this is a rolling program, which will take longer to implement
across more regions.
The phone can act as a hotspot, sharing its internet
connection over WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB, and also
accesses the App Store, an online application
distribution platform for iOS developed and
maintained by Apple. The service allows users to
browse and download applications from the
iTunes Store that were developed with Xcode
and the iOS.
The iPhone 5 can play music, movies, television shows,
ebooks, audiobooks, and podcasts and can sort its media
library by songs, artists, albums, videos, playlists, genres,
composers, podcasts, audiobooks, and compilations. Like the
iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 has Siri, that allows the user to
operate the iPhone by spoken commands. On the iPhone 5,
texting can be aided by the voice assistant, which converts
speech to text. The built-in Maps has been universally
derided, and lacks many features present in
competing maps apps . Facebook comes
integrated through Apples native apps with iOS-6.
 Apple's Iphone 5 uses A6
chip which is 22% smaller
than the A5 and consumes
less power.
