We’re not going to waste time telling you what an iPhone is. You want to know what’s new and when can you get your hands on the latest Apple phone/pocket-everything, right? So, here you go. For starters, it’s taller and thinner, it has 4G LTE and it will of course run iOS 6. You’ll see five rows of icons instead of four and mail and calendar have been formatted to show you more on the larger screen (along with Garage Band and some others). The dock connector is no longer the 30 pin you’re used to and the phone sports a two-tone back for the first time. Everything seems upgraded (better graphics, faster WiFi, a panorama mode on the camera, new EarPods) and it’s basically awesome. Pre-orders start on the 14th and the iPhone 5 goes on sale the 21st.
