The iPhone 5 price and release date details have been revealed by Kogan and it’s apparently the first retailer in the world to sell the sixth generation handset. It is offering the device as an unlocked version and for AU$100 (approx. Rs. 5,790) less than Apple’s deal.
Just as expected, the new iDevice has arrived with a host of changes such as a 4-inch display, iOS 6 and a new FaceTime HD camera. An A6 processor is allocated in its interior and it takes care of all the operations. Moreover, it’s cited to be the lightest and thinnest of all the handsets released so far. It is compatible with 4G networks, though the unavailability of NFC support may come as a disappointment to fans.
