If using Wi-Fi as your internet connectivity, the battery will last up to 10 hours. The iPhone 5 contains an A6 chip which allows better performance and graphics. Compared to the A5 chip, everything on the iPhone 5 runs twice as fast. The chip allows you to enjoy higher frame rates for more realistic game play. Designed to work the iOS 6, the chip is fast and power efficient. One of the best features of the iPhone 5 is iCould, which is integrated into apps. This allows you to access your content on all your devices. It stores the most important things on your phone calendars, contacts, and e-mails. If you delete a contact or update and event, iCloud makes the changes on all devices. iCould features photo stream. If a photo is taken on an iOS device, it automatically appears on all other devices such as your MAC or PC. Signing up for iCloud gives you 5GB of free storage but if you need more, an upgrade can be purchased directly from your device. You can be sure that your data is yours and yours alone since it is protected by the same level of security used by major financial institutions.
