As with any release of a new gadget, the iPhone 5 has caused frenzy and hysteria in and around the malls of United Kingdom. 3 million people have pre-ordered the new model so far. Many people complain that with each new upgrade of the iPhone, there is not that much that is actually different from the previous version. While this is slightly true in some cases, this is just not the case with the iPhone 5 and iOS6. There are many reasons why someone who currently has the iPhone 4S may consider upgrading. There are numerous benefits that are provided, over the previous version.

To start, the screen is larger than the previous version. Prior to this, the screen was 3.5" is, and now it is 4 inches. Also, the screen now has a 16:9 ratio, as opposed to the typical 3:2 ratio that is usually provided. This makes it much better for watching video in entertainment, and can provide you with an excellent overall upgrade, over the previous versions of the phone.

The iPhone 5 is also much faster than its predecessor. It features an A6 processor, as was predicted by a number of media organizations prior to the announcement. This is much faster than the A5 chip that was in the previous versions of the phone. According to Apple Inc, it is twice as fast in processing power, as well as and graphics. This means that games are going to run much more smoothly.

The smartphone is also much thinner, and much lighter than the previous versions. It is about 18% thinner, at 7.6 mm overall. It is also 20% lighter weighing only 112 g.

A number of basic upgrades have also been included as well. Such as the 4G mobile broadband, which means that you are going to have broadband on the go, at speeds of up to 80Mbps downloading webpages, as well as an upgraded battery, which has 24 more hours of standby time over the previous version.
