The Apple iPhone 5 was launched in November 2012.
The 4 inch touchscreen is powered by a 1.3 GHz dual core Apple A6 processor and has 1GB of RAM. Offered in black/slate, white/silver, the iPhone 5 price is currently R6999 at the iStore in South Africa.
When it was launched, the iPhone 5 price was R8299 for a 16GB model, while the 64GB was priced at R10 799.
This phone was well-received by critics and consumers and is still quite popular today.
Some of the best iPhone 5 features:
The iPhone 5 offers up to 8 hours’ talk time and has good battery life so you can use the phone for at least a day on a single charge. With a larger display and a faster chip, this phone has faster graphics.
It has a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, making it one of the most secure devices. This feature lets you scan your fingerprint to unlock your Apple iPhone 5.
Another change introduced by Apple through the iPhone 5 is the Retina display. Apple has said that the phone has a pixel density so high that you can’t distinguish individual pixels.
The camera is also a vast improvement from its predecessor. The iPhone 5’s 8MP iSight camera and FaceTime HD camera is a favourite. The camera has HD 1080p video calling capabilities.
Connectivity isn’t only limited to Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and 4G, but the iPhone 5 has LTE support as well.
Storage options range from 16, to 32 or 64GB. If you’re still wondering if the iPhone 5 price is worth is, the phone also works seamlessly with other Apple products, such as the MacBook and the iPad. You can also use iCloud to store music, photos, calendars, contacts and documents.
