This sixth generation iPhone is one of the most highly anticipated devices from Apple. Though the features seem impressive, the device didn’t bring in a lot of surprises, owing to the frequent leaks. The new iPhone 5 is tall and skinny, and promises speedier performance. The company has also worked out some good audio technologies and connectivity features.
