iPhone 5 : The Design in Detail (With HD Images)

In the weeks leading up to the Apple's keynote speculation of a design change in the iPhone was getting hot. With claims of leaked cases, and design information the world of 'geeks' began to develop an excitement about the 'New iPhone'.

Apple fans across the world watched as the new iPhone 5 was presented, and we were not disappointed ...

The iPhone 5 design is simply stunning,  with small detailed changes to the 4S, adding up to a design that is frankly outstanding ...

Firstly one of the most noticeable changes in the iPhone 5 is the increase in screen size. The screen actually became longer and not wider, meaning the iPhone 5 has a 4 inch display. Not only does this mean that we can enjoy just a little bit more of Apples retina technology, but also means it now perfectly supports 16:9 video, perfect for watching films on the go.


Another major change from the 4S are the physical differences in terms of weight and dimensions. The iPhone 5 is 18 % thinner and 20 % lighter, and this impressive change is noticeable and gives the iPhone a sleek impressive look. 





One of the most noticeable ways to tell the difference between the iPhone 5 and 4S is the back of the device. It has been completely redesigned with two different materials, made of anodised 6000 series aluminium, with inlays along the top and bottom made of ceramic glass. This makes up for a futuristic, yet simple look.






Finally, one feature added to the iPhone is the eye catching bevelled edge that surrounds the device. A crystalline diamond is used to cut the chamfers, this process gives the bevelled edge its beautiful sheen. This may look amazing when brand new however if exposed to scratches and chips the shiny edges can become damaged which is more noticeable on this material.
