Leave it to the Wizards of Cupertino to upstage everyone in the tech industry with a new iPhone model that blows away anything on market or on the horizon from their competitors.
During a special unveiling event in San Francisco Apple revealed the latest version of their flagship mobile device that boasts upgrades across the board. The new model is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the iPhone 4S. It also comes equipped with a laundry list of impressive hardware stats:
LTE Connectivity.
An A5 chip.
An 8 Megapixle Rear-Camera and a 720p HD Front-Facing Camera.
