So iPhone 5 finally was finally unveiled, I had to sit at home and wait until Apple event takes place and the question that we all ask now; is it worth the wait? Well I’m here to help you find the answer. The funny part is that the official iPhone 5 looks similar to the one that was leaked in a video last week, ok so now let’s talk about the specs shall we?
Dimensions & Display: It’s clearly thinner (7.6mm), lighter (112 grams, iPhone 4S weighed 140 grams) because it’s made from aluminum, and taller than iPhone 4s. The screen is bigger (4 inch) and uses Retina display with resolution of 1136 by 640 pixels. They say display will be crystal clear and has more color-depth.
Processor: iPhone 5 uses the new A6 CPU (quad-core) which is faster than the older A5 chip in iPhone 4S. So iPhone 5 will run applications and games faster.
iOS: iPhone 5 will use iOS 6 which will be officially released on 19th of September.
Camera: 8-megapixels with 3,264 x 2,448 pixels, that’s similar to iPhone 4S.
Sim Card: It will use sim card called ”Nano” which is smaller and thinner than the micro, I read that Wataniya and Viva have announced that such sim card will be available soon.
Colors: Comes in white and black (so like before), though I wished if Apple made it available in more colors.
Release Date: It will be available in the U.S, U.K, Canada, Germany, Japan on 21st of September, so we can order it via Apple UK and ship it to Kuwait via any mail forwarding service.
Price: Most probably cost will be similar to iPhone 4s when it was first launched ($199- $399).
Verdict: iPhone 5 does in fact look different from previous iPhone’s, but the biggest advantage (LTE 4G network) which provides 100 Mbps download rate won’t work in Kuwait because we don’t yet have local 4G network.

date is 21 sept of launch
yes that’s in U.S, U.K, Canada, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong but for the other countries they said it will be released by end of 2012. Luckily we can order it from the U.K and ship it to Kuwait.
yeah definately
Dont make a mistake by shipping it as i am sure it will be released very very soon in kuwait and Xcite shall give you guys a great price! cheers
It looks it will be fast and cool, what’s the price pleasee?
Not 100% sure yet, but heard it will be similar to iPhone 4S. will update you when I get more info.
No even if excite releases it in kuwait, trust me from my personal (4s) experience prices will differ for any iphone model by 50 kd. This will go on for atleast one month from the official release date or may be more depending on the availibility of iphone 5 & local demand.
Meh so disapointing i was really hoping they bring something really exciting but nothing at all interesting….
So my opinion is meh….
I partially agree, iPhone 5 has been enhanced, looks better, faster, neater but it didn’t bring something totally new. Maybe the iOS6 will? let’s wait and see.
i don’t expect a lot with an OS that prevent you from downloading from the net, that tie you up when you want to back up your data by using their Itunes…
with all that said, even thou people will sure still go buy it only to hold the half eaten apple logo in their hands…
that’s why I hate most about Apple, the constraints, they set up a certain path that all users must follow!
I agree with the Apple logo thing lol
iPhone 5 is basically iPhone 4S with new ios6 and bigger screen.. im really disappointed
There are new added features; 4G LTE, it’s thinner & lighter, bigger screen, better display, faster cpu. But yes I expected more and LTE won’t work in Kuwait, not yet.
The phone is a joke. Not worth it. But I wouldn’t be surprised people that own an iPhone 4 or 4s will still buy it because they’re sheeps. Can you say “baaaaaaaa!”
Honestly if I want a new phone or a change from Android I’d go for the new Nokia phone.
the baaaa thing got me ROFL
tell you a little secret… the only iPhone I ever got was a gift (iPhone4) :P the little trick NOKIA tried to fool us with for their new phone camera made me drop them from the to-buy-list.
Sure it doesn’t worth it , there’s no 1 feature impressed me… all the new features exist in galaxy S2 not even 3…
waiting for IOS 7 :P
“So does iPhone 5 worth the wait?”
Bad grammer.
It should say or read as “So is the iphone5 worth the wait?”
Thanks.
Hi Banana! Could you please drop an email with your contact number for something urgent!
When will it come in kuwait any Idea Guys
It will be available in the U.S, U.K, Canada, Germany, Japan on 21st of September, we can order it via Apple UK and ship it to Kuwait, but I think it will be sold in Kuwait by end of this month of early October (just my guess).
People wanted Innovation and not refinement, Steve Jobs, You Are Missed In The Technology World
Agree most of the features were under the category “refinement”.

Thanks for the update
Walaw bro
best thing for me is the reversible port!!!
Can you elaborate further?
People are not looking at the bigger picture. Why change a design of a the hardware or software drastically, when both are really excellent? I used a S2 for a week, and I did not like it. I used a note for about 3 months, and I hated it. I feel really comfortable working with the iPhone. People who like iPhones, will buy iPhones. People who like Samsung, will buy from Samsung, it’s as simple as that. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to hate it.
+100 well said Nasser
ill wait for nokia lumia 920 !
Anything special about it?
Samsung galaxy s3 The best…… iphone 5 is the refinement not an innovation and apple is ohhh sorry was famous for innovation
