Meh.

Apple could have done a lot better than this.

[frenchtower]

Apple also announced new Ipod Nano and Ipod Touch. There is also a redesigned headphone - EarPods

apple should patent that 5th row of icons and the letterbox screen, thats evolutionary

[squatt3r]

the features above should have made it to iPhone 4S in the first place.

Incremental "improvement". Apple is more concerned with profit margins than innovation. A6 is only a duo-core...

**** that! not really that different than the 4s. my iphone4 broke recently and didn't buy a new one since the iphone5 is about to come out but now i'd rather buy the 4s when the 5 comes out in the market since it will be cheaper and the difference won't be that much. why would they change the charger, that's a pretty stupid move. oh and the all new less shitty earphones compared to the old one but still a piece of crap. wtf is a nano sim and why did they need to change the sim? steve jobs should rise from his grave and slap the **** out of who ever created the iphone5.

How big is the "bigger screen"?
Is it now the same as GS3?

Beside having an all new "Lightning" plug...

iPhone 5 confirmed to use nano-SIM, current SIMs not compatible

By Jon Fingas posted Sep 12th 2012 3:10PM While Apple was busy announcing the iPhone 5, it left out mention of whether the device would use the recently approved (and Apple-designed) nano-SIM standard. Sure enough, the leaks were right once more -- Apple is relying on that even tinier subscriber module for GSM, HSPA and LTE networks. The company also makes clear that there's no going back, so you'll have to chuck your earlier micro-SIM card if you've got one. Such is the price of progress.

So even if you'll have the first IPhone 5 in the Philippines, you won't be able to use it since no local carrier have this sim, right OB?

IPhone 5 has a 16:9 4" screen. The S III has a 16:9 High Definition 4.8" screen.

I think Globe already has the new simm card ready.

Let's recap: Silghtly bigger screen. Slightly more features. Still less screen than a Galaxy S3. Needs proprietary SIM, so you've got to change your card... again.

Who/what/why will I buy this, again?

Ano ba itsura ng NanoSim card? So, the MicroSim wouldn't fit-in to this iPhone 5?

I think Globe already has the new simm card ready.

MANILA, Philippines - Globe Telecom is now gearing up to offer the new Nano-SIMs in Globe stores this month as it provides subscribers a new and better mobile experience. The Nano-SIMs are new generation subscriber identity module (SIM) cards for the latest generation of smartphones and handsets running on the most modern mobile network technologies. Globe has ordered as much as five times more Nano-SIMs than its regular SIM stocks, anticipating high customer demand when smartphones running on Nano-SIMs are offered in the market.

According to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the new Nano-SIM cards will be 40 percent smaller than the micro-SIM, the smallest SIM card design to date, and will measure 12.3 millimeters x 8.8 millimeters, and 0.67 millimeters thick.

“The Nano-SIM cards are packaged and distributed in a way that is backward-compatible with existing SIM cards. The new design will offer the same functionality as all current SIM cards,” added ETSI. “When Nano-SIM cards enter production, their size will free up room inside mobile phones for additional memory and larger batteries, helping phone vendors create thinner devices,” revealed Giesecke & Devrient, a global pioneering innovator that provides end-to-end solutions for identification systems and mobile security applications.

“Once again, Globe pioneers in bringing the latest technologies to Filipino mobile phone users as we offer the revolutionary Nano-SIMs in our Globe stores with the availability of newer smartphone models using this type of SIM very soon. With the Nano-SIM and its stunning features and specifications, our smartphone experience will definitely be taken to another level,” said Martha Sazon, head of Globe Postpaid.

The ETSI produces globally-applicable standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and Internet technologies.

Thanks sir. Same lang pala.... you just need a special cutter to make the sim card nano. I thought this is a totally different one just like the lightning connector.
