Finally, the iPhone 5 has been announced by Apple. Sure, with this release the iPhone has trimmed up a bit - sporting a sleek new design built for the lovely new iOS 6 . But for iPhone 4S owners who got the iPhone 4s a year ago, is it really time for an upgrade?
The iPhone 5 release date is Sept. 21 in the U.S. and U.K. and iPhone 5 pre-orders begin Sept. 14.
iPhone 5 prices start at $199 with a contract in the US and £529 for an unlocked UK phone. How good is it from iPhone 4S. Let’s see the comparison:
