7.68 mm thick, 18% thinner
Cook: "It's the world's thinnest smartphone"
1136x640 resolution, same width, but taller. 4" diagonal
It has 5 rows of icons, plus the shortcut bar (dock) at the bottom
First party apps are optimized to take advantage of the new screen size.
Old apps run letterboxed
Ultrafast Wireless, GPRS, EDGE, EV-DO, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, and LTE
US: Sprint, AT&T, Verizon -- all with LTE support
Every aspect of the iPhone 5 offers enhancement including an A6 processor, 22% smaller, energy efficient
And now EA comes out to demo some gameplay. Let's see what we see!... Real Racing 3 (jlb1705: YES!)
Real Racing offers realtime reflections and realview mirrors. It offers time-shifted multiplayer asynchronous racing... Real Racing 3 ships "later this year"
This EXCEEDS the battery life of the 4S. Hory clap. 8 hours 3G and LTE talk time
New camera is 8MP... 3264x2448, backside illumination, Hybrid IR filter, 5-element lens, f/2.4 aperture... Dynamic low-light mode, precision lens alignment, "sapphire crystal"... Panorama support
Panoramas: sweep the scene vertically and swing your phone. 28MP resulting image
It's 1080p with better video stabilization, face recognition, and photos too
Front facing camera is 720p
Audio system enhanced to include three mics -- front, back, and bottom
The speaker offers a 5-magnet transducer -- adding three to what previous models had... These magnets offer a wider audio spectrum
New connector... All digital 8-signal interface with improved durability... It's reversible, easy-to-use, 80% smaller
The iPhone 5 ships in black and white... White iPhone has an aluminum back, black one has the anodized back. This will be one to see to choose...
Same price as the 4S (on contract), 4S is now the $99 iPhone, the mere mortal iPhone 4 is now free. RIP iPhone 3GS.
Pre-orders start the day after tomorrow: 14 September, shipping 21 Sept

the LTE Patent lawsuits from Samsung & HTC should make it interesting ... other than that... Android phones have had these specs since last year (cept the camera, one thing i hate about android phones)... but this is Apple's style.

Music, iPod & iTunes announcements...
iTunes will launch a new iOS store design
You can preview a song now and browse away without it stopping
Mac and PC clients receive updates today too
New iTunes is "dramatically simpler" with a big grid, simplified interface
"When you click on an album it expands in place." Sort of like folders on iOS. Lots of mobile design cues here... You can still get to the song list view and playlists
"lots of modal windows, notifications"
Songs can be queued (jlb1705: thank goodness)... You can use a "coming next" button to change the order of upcoming tracks... Click "Play Next" to add an item to the queue at the next position
Next, the movies library -- iCloud shares positions... The position syncs automatically so you can pick up playback as you switch devices
New iTunes ships late October (not today)
7th gen iPod nano introduced...It's got a 2.5-inch multi-touch display... Video is supported as well as photos... As usual fitness and pedometer -- but now BLUETOOTH!
iPod Touch updated... Aluminum back, brushed finish -- won't get all scratchy... Retina display... 4-inch display, like the iPhone... Offers the A5 processor (vs the iPhone's A6)
Speaker on the bottom + Lightning connector, headphone jack -- and Engadget says yes, it's the same as the iPhone display.
iPod Touch camera: 5 MP backside illuminated, f/2.4, five element lens and again the same sapphire crystal cover... iPod touch also offers that cool panorama feature... 1080p video with image stabilization, iMovie support, FaceTime HD front camera, 720p... Face detection support
There is a button on the back of the touch, called the "loop"... You can attach a wrist-strap to it.
New earbuds are being called "EarPods"... whatever
The shape is defined by ear geometry -- but they don't seal the ear the way other in-ear units do
You can buy them standalone and are included with the new touch, nano, and iPhone 5... These ship today.
New iPods ship in October.

1 week until iOS 6 drops. I was hoping a little sooner - I've been dying to get my hands on it.
iPhone 5 looks pretty sweet. Not sweet enough to get me to pay a premium to upgrade early though.
New iPods look slick. I disagree when they say these are the best they've ever made though. The 80 GB 5th-gen. iPod is still the boss.
I'm skeptical about iTunes updates. I'd rather see them simplify than add features. It's really bloated and sluggish.
New earbuds - meh. They could be worthwhile if they weren't painful to wear, but I doubt they'll be too much different that other earbuds in that regard.
I didn't see a picture of that either.

I really wish apple would idiot proof the video camera. I am so tired of seeing vertical videos, and seemingly 90% of spectators at a game, concert or major event are holding their HD cameras in portrait mode
