In the past, Apple has often treated "feeds and speeds" as an afterthought something that seemed like an annoyance rather than an opportunity. The company appeared to be leaving the specs race behind in its march towards the Post PC future its been designing. But the folks in Cupertino have come out swinging with the latest iPhone (even though Apple demurred on some facts, like clock speed). |
| Inside the iPhone 5 youll find a new dual-core A6 CPU running at a reported 1GHz, 1GB of RAM, between 16GB and 64GB of storage (I tested the 64GB version), and an assortment of radios supporting Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, 3G and LTE on both CDMA and GSM networks, and a GPS chip. Of course. | | LTE speeds were excellent on the device, and general performance seemed excellent easily surpassing what Im accustomed to on the 4S, which is no slouch (more on both of these points later). | | The device also features new cameras; an 8 megapixel shooter on back and a 1.2 megapixel version around front, and sports a compass, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, and accelerometer. |
