Airtel seems to have given the white version of this phone a miss. The service provider has also revealed that the device will be made available with various data plans and will be compatible with HSPA+ and DC-HSPA networks. Though it is shipping now, those who order it from the official carrier website will receive their devices within a week.
The latest iPhone builds up on the success of its predecessors and features a larger touchscreen.

Its rechargeable battery can cough up the juice for talk time of up to 8 hours on the 3G mode.
Moreover, the iPhone 5 comes armed with dual cameras. An 8MP iSight camera with LED flash that allows users to capture still shots while recording videos and a 1.2MP front-facing FaceTime webcam for video calling.
