iPhone 5 Specs and Features Guide

Features Design Built‐in Apps From the App Store iOS iCloud Tech Specs


All‐new design.
It doesn’t seems possible. That an iPhone with so much – a
larger display, a faster chip, ultrafast wireless technology, an
8MP iSight camera – could be so thin and so light. But it is.
In fact, iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lights iPhone ever.

Brilliant 4‐inch Retina display.
The 4‐inch Retina display lets you see more of everything.
And everything you see is vivid and lifelike. It’s a larger,
more beautiful canvas made the right way. Because even
though the display is bigger, iPhone 5 is the same width as
iPhone 4S. So, it’s just as easy yo use with one hand.


Ultrafast wireless.
With support for the latest wireless technologies, iPhone 5
connects to more networks all over the world. And Wi‐Fi is
faster, too. So, you can browse, download, and stream
content at remarkable speeds, wherever you happen to be.

Powerful A6 chip.
The all‐new Apple‐designed A6 chip in iPhone 5 is
powerful but not power hungry. CPU performance
and graphics performance are up to twice as fast
as on the A5 chip. But, even with all that speed,
iPhone 5 gives you outstanding battery life.


A remarkably slim design that still makes
room for a larger display and a faster chip.
Ultrafast wireless that doesn’t sacrifice
battery life. And all‐new headphones
designed to sound great and fit comfortably.
So much went into this iPhone. So you could
get even more out of it.

It’s hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so

of precision. iPhone 5 measures a mere 7.6
millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams.1
That’s 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter
than iPhone 4S. The only way to achieve a design
like this is by relentlessly considering (and
reconsidering) every single detail — including
the details you don’t see.


More display means more to see.
Anyone can make a larger smartphone display. But if you go large for
large’s sake, you end up with a phone that feels oversize, awkward, and
hard to use. iPhone 5 features a 4‐inch display designed the right way:
it’s bigger, but it’s the same width as iPhone 4S. So everything you’ve
always done with one hand — typing on the keyboard, for instance —
you can still do with one hand. On a larger canvas that lets you see more
of every web page. More of your inbox. More events on your calendar.
Even more apps on your Home screen.

It’s more vibrant, too.
This isn’t just a larger display. It’s a larger Retina display. At 326 pixels
per inch, it has a pixel density so high your eye can’t distinguish
individual pixels. And as stunning as the Retina display is on the iPhone
4S, this one gives you 18 percent more pixels for an impressive 1136‐by
‐640 resolution. Colors get a boost, too, with color saturation that’s
44 percent greater than before. So with iPhone 5, the games you play,
the words you read, the images you see, and the apps you love look
and feel incredibly vivid and lifelike. For big‐time entertainment,
iPhone 5 lets you watch widescreen HD video in all its glory —
without letterboxing.


LTE. The right way.
You rely on your iPhone. So a thin, light design and
outstanding battery life are important to you. But so is a
fast data connection. LTE wireless technology is built for
speed, but adding it to a phone can create bulk and drain
battery life quickly. iPhone 5 does LTE the right way —
optimized for better battery life and designed for ultrafast
connectivity in a thin profile. The very things you want most
from your smartphone.

Next‐generation cellular and wireless
connectivity.
iPhone 5 supports more networks all over the world. That
includes advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and
DC‐HSDPA. Browse, download, and stream content at
ultrafast speeds. Dual‐band 802.11n wireless connectivity
accelerates your Wi‐Fi experience, too — up to 150 Mbps.


Faster CPU performance.
With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on
iPhone 5 is noticeably faster — up to twice as fast
compared with the A5 chip. So apps launch, web pages
load, and email attachments appear almost instantly.
8 hours
LTE Browsing Time
Faster graphics.
The A6 chip also offers graphics performance that’s up to twice as fast as
the A5. So you can power through graphics‐intensive apps and games. And enjoy
higher frame rates for smoother, more realistic gameplay.
8 hours
Talk Time
Even better battery life.
Not only is the A6 chip custom designed to be fast, it’s custom designed to work
with iOS 6 to be extremely power efficient. So even at its accelerated speed,
iPhone 5 has more than enough battery power to last throughout the day — up
to 8 hours of browsing on a cellular connection, up to 8 hours of talk time, and
10 hours

up to 10 hours of video playback time.

A new way to get connected.
Making iPhone 5 thinner and lighter required a pivotal
change: replacing the 30‐pin connector with something
newer, smaller, and better. Introducing the Lightning
connector. It features an all‐digital, eight‐signal design
that’s significantly more durable than the 30‐pin
connector. Another brilliant feature of Lightning: It’s
reversible. Which means there’s no wrong way to plug in
the cable.

Lightning to 30‐pin Adapter.
Soon many iPhone accessories will be Lightning
compatible. But if you have one that depends on the 30‐
pin connector, you can still connect it to your iPhone 5.
Simply use a Lightning to 30‐pin Adapter (sold separately).


Maps designed by Apple.
The new Maps app gives you a better way to find your way. Map elements are vector based,
which means graphics and text are incredibly sharp, even when you zoom in. Pan around, and
you’ll instantly notice how smooth and responsive Maps is. Need directions from Point A to
Point B? Maps not only shows you how to get there, it tells you — out loud, turn by turn. Maps
also gives you real‐time traffic information and reroutes you to avoid delays. For a completely
new perspective, switch to Flyover and explore major metro areas from above with photo‐
realistic, interactive 3D views.

The foundation of iPhone.
At the core of every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is iOS. It includes all the built‐in apps you use
every day and all the intuitive technology — like Multi‐Touch and Siri — that makes iPhone so
advanced.7 With every free iOS update comes even more capability for your devices. You’ll find
the latest version, iOS 6, already installed on iPhone 5. So right out of the box, you get more than
200 new features to make the things you do every day even better.


Everything you need. Everywhere you go.
iCloud is built right into iPhone 5. Just turn it on and you’ll have instant access to all the things
you need, whether you’re on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.8 New features in iOS 6

landed on a remarkably thin and light design.
But it’s nearly impossible to make a device so
thin and so light without sacrificing features or
performance.

When we envisioned the new iPhone, we landed on a remarkably thin and light design.
But it’s nearly impossible to make a device so thin and so light without sacrificing
features or performance.
We could have taken the easy way out and designed something more reasonable and
less remarkable. But we didn’t. If the technology didn’t exist, we invented it. If a
component wasn’t small enough, we re‐imagined it. If convention was standing in the
way, we left it behind. The result is iPhone 5: the thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever.


iPhone 5 is just 7.6 millimeters thin. To make
that happen, Apple engineers had to think
small, component by component. They created
a nano‐SIM card, which is 44 percent smaller
than a micro‐SIM. They also developed a
unique cellular solution for iPhone 5.

The conventional approach to building LTE into a world phone uses two chips — one
for voice, one for data. On iPhone 5, both are on a single chip. The intelligent,
reversible Lightning connector is 80 percent smaller than the 30‐pin connector. The
8MP iSight camera has even more features — like panorama and dynamic low‐light
mode — yet it’s 20 percent smaller. And the new A6 chip is up to 2x faster than the A5
chip but 22 percent smaller. Even with so much inside, iPhone 5 is 20 percent lighter
and 18 percent thinner than iPhone 4S.


7.6 112 3.31
Depth (mm) Weight (g) Volume (in)

Making a thinner, lighter iPhone meant even the
display had to be thinner. Apple engineers
accomplished that by creating the first Retina display
with integrated touch technology. Which means
instead of a separate layer of touch electrodes between
display pixels, the pixels do double duty — acting as
touch‐sensing electrodes while displaying the image at
the same time. With one less layer between you and
what you see on iPhone 5, you experience more clarity
than ever before. All on a display that’s 30 percent
thinner than before.


Never before has this degree of fit and finish

Sapphire Crystal
Although the surface of the iSight camera is as clear as
glass, it’s not made of glass. It’s actually sapphire crystal,
whose hardness is second only to diamond on the scale of
transparent materials. That means the surface of the lens
is far less likely to scratch.

A crystalline diamond is used to cut the
chamfers of iPhone 5. This process gives the

more comfortable for more people than any other
earbud‐style headphones.


At the same time Apple designers were trying to define an ideal
earbud shape, Apple sound engineers — acousticians — were
focused on improving sound quality. First, they established a
target sound for the Apple EarPods. That target: a person sitting in
a room listening to high‐quality speakers.
The biggest determinant of what you hear from any speaker is the
movement of its diaphragm. The inward and outward motion is
what creates sound. But earbud speaker diaphragms are typically
made from a single material, which can limit sound output.
So Apple acousticians re‐engineered an earbud speaker diaphragm
with both rigid and flexible materials to minimize sound loss and
maximize sound output. Adding to the superior audio quality are
strategically placed acoustic vents. The most notable of these
vents is the one located in the stem of each EarPod. It allows air
inside the stem, which acts as an acoustic chamber, to flow out. So
you hear deeper, richer bass tones. The overall audio quality of
Apple EarPods is so impressive, they rival high‐end headphones
that cost hundreds of dollars more.


How a product looks and performs matters, but so does
its impact on the environment. That’s why nearly every
Apple product is made from highly recyclable materials
like aluminum, and why we refuse to use harmful toxins
in our components.
Every iPhone starting with iPhone 3GS is free of
brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl
chloride (PVC). That includes our newest iPhone —
iPhone 5. In fact, Apple has one of the strictest BFR‐free
and PVC‐free standards in the industry. And we expect
the same from our suppliers. We go so far as to
disassemble our products into individual components
and materials in our Cupertino lab. Then we test them
using many methods, including X‐ray fluorescence
spectroscopy and ion chromatography. We do this to
ensure that every product we release meets our
environmental standards.

Siri is the intelligent assistant that understands what you say, knows what you mean, and has
the answers you need. And now Siri understands more languages, so it does more things in
more countries.
Get things done.
Say something like “Text my wife… I’ll be there in 15 minutes.”
Or “Find a good Italian restaurant nearby.” Siri figures out the
right apps to use, then, just like a personal assistant, it replies
with the answer. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages,
schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more.

Get ready for movie night.
Ask Siri to find upcoming showtimes, look up movie facts, play
trailers, and more. Siri can also show you ratings and reviews
from Rotten Tomatoes.

Get sports scores and stats.

basketball, football, hockey, and soccer. They're all just a
question away.

Get restaurant recommendations.
Siri helps you find restaurants by cuisine, price, location,
outdoor seating, or a combination of choices. Siri will show you
Yelp stars and reviews — even make a reservation for you via
OpenTable.


No more searching through your email or fumbling with paper printouts. Passbook keeps all your
gift cards, coupons, passes, and tickets organized and at the ready.

Tickets, passes, and more.
Passbook keeps things like airline boarding passes, movie

where you need them. Arrive at the airport and your boarding
pass pops up. If you’re waiting to board the flight and your gate
changes, Passbook tells you. And if you decide to grab a coffee
on the way to your new gate, your gift card appears when you
walk into the cafe.


With all that iPhone does, it’s easy to forget it’s also an amazing phone. One that lets you call someone
with a tap, instantly reply to a call with a text message, or turn on Do Not Disturb. It’s your call.

Make phone calls.
Tap a contact or a number. Or ask Siri to dial for you. Switch
between calls, merge calls, or add another caller just as easily.

Better call clarity.
Built‐in microphones work together to provide clearer sound
and reduce background noise. So the person you’re talking to
can hear you, not the noise around you. A noise‐canceling
earpiece means you can hear more clearly, too.

Ignore, screen, or answer.
With iPhone, you can decline an incoming call by automatically
replying with a text message. Set a time‐ or location‐based
callback reminder. Or turn on Do Not Disturb. It sends calls
straight to voicemail. Unless they’re from someone you’ve
specified as important — like your wife, boss, or best friend.

Visual Voicemail.
Listen to your voicemail messages in the order they were
received. Or don’t. With Visual Voicemail, the choice is yours.
Just tap to play what you want to hear first.


Say hello with a big smile, no matter where you are. With FaceTime on iPhone 5, you can make
video calls to another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac over your Wi‐Fi or cellular connection. Visit
friends and family in another city. Or make a meeting from the other side of the world.

Video calls on tap.
FaceTime works right out of the box — no need to set up a
special account or screen name. And using it is as easy as it gets.
Let’s say you want to start a video call with your mom. Find her
entry in your contacts and tap the FaceTime button. Or tell Siri,
“FaceTime with Mom.” Or maybe you’re already talking to her
and you want to switch to video. Just tap the FaceTime button
and get ready to smile.

Switch between cameras.
iPhone 5 has a camera on the front — perfectly tuned for
FaceTime chatting — and an iSight camera on the back. You can
switch between cameras during a call. So whoever you’re
chatting with can see you, or they can see what you see.


With all the sending, receiving, and replying you do every day, it’s nice to
have an app you can rely on. And Mail on iPhone 5 definitely delivers.

Built‐in apps are just the beginning.
Browse the App Store to find even
more amazing apps designed
specifically for iPhone — by Apple and
by third‐party developers. The more
apps you download, the more you’ll
realize there’s almost no limit to what
iPhone can do.


The highest quantity. Of the highest quality.
The App Store has the world’s largest collection of
mobile apps. But it’s not just the number that’s
impressive. It’s the kinds of apps you’ll find. iPhone apps
offer a better experience because they take advantage of
the technologies built into the device. And all those apps
are in one place, so they’re easy to access, easy to search,
and easy to download — using the same Apple ID
account you use on iTunes.

More to see. More to love.
With the bigger display on iPhone 5, your built‐in apps
look even more stunning. Apple apps you download from
the App Store have been optimized for the new iPhone 5
display. But even if an app hasn’t been updated for
iPhone 5, automatic letterboxing lets you use it as you
always have. And developers can easily update their apps
to take advantage of the larger screen. So you’ll see
more, play more, and get more done.

With its easy‐to‐use interface, amazing features, and rock‐solid stability, iOS is the foundation of
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. And even as others try to catch up, the technologies and features built
into iOS keep your Apple devices years ahead.


Elegant and intuitive interface.
You know how to use iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch from the first time you pick them up. That’s because the revolutionary
Multi‐Touch interface in iOS was designed for your finger. And the simple, beautiful Home screen is the easiest place to
start. From built‐in apps to over 700,000 more apps and games available on the App Store. From making a FaceTime call
to editing a video with iMovie. Everything you touch is easy, intuitive, and fun.


Amazing features and built‐in apps.
iOS and an ever‐expanding collection of features and built‐in apps make iPhone, iPad,
and iPod touch even more powerful, innovative, and fun to use. Here are just a few.

Siri Maps Music FaceTime Messages Safari AirPlay Game Center

Siri
Siri lets you use your voice to send
messages, schedule meetings, check
the latest scores, and more. Ask Siri to
do things just by talking. Siri
understands what you say, knows
what you mean, and even talks back.




Maps
Apple‐designed from the ground up
(and the sky down), this built‐in app
shows you incredible detail — even on
full zoom. Maps keeps street names
where they belong and keeps you
heading in the right direction with
spoken turn‐by‐turn navigation and
real‐time traffic updates.




Music
Listen to music everywhere. See it, too: You can
browse your collection by album art. And since
iTunes in the iCloud lets you access the music
you purchase on every device you use, you’ll
never find yourself without a song. It’s all part of
iCloud and iTunes.




FaceTime
With a tap, you can make video calls
over Wi‐Fi from your iOS device to
someone else’s. You can even make
FaceTime calls over cellular networks
on your iPhone or iPad. And be there in
person, even when you’re not.




Messages
Messages includes iMessage, a messaging
service that’s even better than texting because
it’s free over Wi‐Fi for you and anyone using an
iOS device or Mac. And it’s unlimited.5 So text all
you want, and send photos, videos, locations,
and contacts, too. Or ask Siri to do it for you.




Safari
It’s the world’s most popular mobile
browser. And it gets even better with
iOS 6. Not only can you remove clutter
from web pages with Reader, now you
can save your Reading List for offline
perusing. iCloud Tabs keeps track of
which pages you have open on your
devices, so you can start browsing on
one device and pick up where you left
off on another device.




AirPlay
AirPlay lets you wirelessly stream
what’s on your iOS device to your HDTV
and speakers via Apple TV. Or mirror
exactly what’s on your display to the big
screen. Vacation photos, blockbusters,
the latest games — you choose how to
go big.




Game Center
Game Center lets you expand your
social gaming network, turning friends
into opponents and opponents into
friends. Or go up against people you
don’t know in a multiplayer game. It’s
your world. Everyone else is just playing
in it.


Hardware and software made for each other.
Because Apple makes both the hardware and the operating system for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, everything is designed to work
together. So apps take full advantage of hardware features such as the Retina display, the Multi‐Touch interface, the
accelerometer, the three‐axis gyro, accelerated graphics, and more. FaceTime is a perfect example. It uses both front and back
cameras, the display, the microphone, and your Wi‐Fi connection.


The world’s largest — and smartest — collection of apps.
With thousands of apps in practically every category, iOS is the platform for the world’s largest collection of mobile apps. And every
app starts with the right DNA. That’s because Apple gives third‐party developers a rich set of tools and APIs to create apps and
games designed to take advantage of the technology inside every iOS device. With all those apps in one place, they’re easy to
access, easy to search, and easy to buy using the same account you use for iTunes. Just browse the App Store on your device and
download them with a tap.


iCloud. Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents, and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your
devices.7 So if you buy a song, take a photo, or edit a calendar event on your iPad, iCloud makes sure it appears on your Mac,
iPhone, and iPod touch, too. You don’t have to do a thing.


Easy to update.
iOS updates are free. And they’re available to download wirelessly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch the moment
they’re released. Your device even alerts you when it’s time to get the latest version. So you won’t miss out on all the
amazing features in new updates.


Safety and security by design. Accessibility built in.
iOS is highly secure from the moment you turn on your Accessibility features like Guided Access, VoiceOver, and

it back, you can restore everything from your last backup.


Works all over the world.
iOS devices are made to be used around the world. Take your
pick of 30 languages and easily switch between them. Because
the keyboard is software based, you can select from over 50
different layouts with support for language‐specific features
including diacritic marks on characters and contextual
character options for Japanese. In addition, the built‐in
dictionaries support over 50 languages, VoiceOver reads
screens in more than 35 languages, and Voice Control
understands over 20 languages.

New features for China.
iOS 6 also delivers an amazingly accurate experience to
Chinese speakers, with precision text input, a comprehensive
Chinese dictionary, and handwriting recognition support for
over 30,000 Chinese characters.

integrated into your apps, so you can access your content on all your devices. And stay
up to date everywhere you go.

You never know when you’ll suddenly be in the mood to listen to a favorite song, rewatch a classic movie,
or laugh at that hilarious sitcom episode with a friend. With iCloud, you can have iTunes automatically
download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you tap Buy. You can also access past
music, movie, and TV show purchases from any of your devices — wirelessly and without syncing.

Download a song or album. It appears on all your devices.


With Photo Stream, you can take a photo on one iOS device and it automatically appears on all your other
devices, including your Mac or PC. Import new pictures to your computer from a digital camera, and
iCloud sends copies over Wi‐Fi to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can even view recent photos on
your big‐screen TV via Apple TV. There’s no syncing, no email attachments, no file transfers. Your pictures
are just there — on whichever device you happen to have handy.

Take or import a photo. See it on all your devices.


You can create amazing documents and presentations on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. And with
iCloud, you can keep that work up to date across your Mac and all your iOS devices. You don’t have to
manage your documents in a complicated file system or remember to save them to a special folder. Your
documents — with all the latest edits — are stored in your apps, so they automatically appear everywhere.
iCloud is already built into apps like Keynotes, pages, and Nymbers. It also works with other iCloud‐enabled
apps. So you can do things like create a to‐do list on your Mac and make edits to it on your iPhone. Start
sketching on your iPod touch and add the finishing touches on your iPad. Or start a game on your iPad and
pick it up at the same level on your iPod touch.

Take or import a photo. See it on all your devices.


iCloud keeps your bookmarks and Reading List up to date across all your devices. And iCloud Tabs shows
all the web pages you have open on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac, so you can pick up browsing
wherever you left off. Safari saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can get caught
up on any device, even when you’re not connected to the Internet.


iCloud stores all the stuff you can’t live without — your calendars, contacts, and email — and keeps it up to
date across all your devices. Say you delete an email, add a calendar event, or update a contact. iCloud
makes all your changes everywhere. Same with your notes, reminders, and bookmarks.

Make or edit an appointment. See your changes on all your devices


If you own multiple iOS devices, iCloud makes sure your apps are everywhere you want them. Download a
new app on your iPhone, and it automatically appears on your iPad. You don’t have to worry about
keeping your devices in sync because iCloud does it for you. Or say there’s an app you bought way back
when that you wish you had on your new iPod touch. iCloud lets you see your past downloads in one
convenient place: your purchase history on the App Store. Since you’ve already purchased these apps, you
can download them again — at no additional charge — to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch..

With iCloud, the best place to read is anywhere you have an iOS device. As soon as you buy a new book

highlight some text, take notes, or leave a bookmark, and iCloud automatically updates your iPhone and
iPod touch, too. Once you buy a book, it appears in your iBookstore purchase history. From there, you can
download it to any of your devices at any time. And it won’t cost you anything extra.

Lost. And found.
If checking the usual spots hasn’t turned up your
missing device, Find My iPhone can help. Just sign in at
iCloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app on another
device to locate yours on a map, display a message on
its screen, remotely set a passcode lock, or initiate a
remote wipe to delete your data. With iOS 6, iCloud
offers Lost Mode — making it even easier to find and
protect a missing iOS device. Lost Mode immediately
locks your device with a four‐digit passcode and sends
it a message displaying a contact number. That way a
good Samaritan can call you from your Lock screen
without accessing the rest of the information on your
device. While in Lost Mode, your device even keeps
track of where it’s been and reports back to you when
you check in at iCloud.com or on the Find My iPhone
app.


Good friends aren’t hard to find.
Find My Friends is a great way to share your location
with people who are important to you.4 Family and
friends who share their locations with you appear on a
map so you can quickly see where they are and what
they’re up to. And you can get location‐based alerts —
like when your kids leave school or arrive home. Find
My Friends can also notify others about your location,
so you can stay connected or keep track of the ones
you love.
