Ready to splurge on the new iPhone 5, announced Wednesday by Apple? For many, it's the one, must-have gadget of the year, whether you're a geek or a princess, a princess-geek or even just a regular Joe.
The new phone, which will be out Sept. 21, is the sixth-generation iPhone, and has some new goodies. Among them: A bigger 4-inch display; also, it's not only the thinnest iPhone, at 7.6 mm, Apple claims it's the "thinnest smartphone in the world," as well as being 20 percent lighter than the iPhone 4S.
The all-glass back of the last model now has a matte finish, making it less perilous for scratches if (or should we say "when") it gets dropped.
The camera in the phone — and the new iPod touch — has a very appealing Panorama feature. As NBC News' Wilson Rothman wrote, "You just hoist the phone aloft and pan across your field of view, and you end up with a seamless panoramic image, suitable for framing (if you're any good at photography, that is — alas, I am not)."
The phone's battery life is improved as well, Apple says. You can look to get 8 hours of 3G talk and browsing; 8 hours of LTE browsing; 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing and 10 hours of video. There will be 225 hours of standby.
