Friday was the official launch day of the iPhone 5 at Apple stores, Verizon stores and many other locations. So in honor of that, we present five facts to know about the iPhone 5.
Information from the Apple website.
- Thinnest Phone—The new iPhone is only 7.6 millimeters thin, and is 112 grams in weight.
- Crystal Screen—The screen of the phone is made from sapphire crystal, which has been found to be far less likely to scratch because of its hardness.

- Advanced Camera—The camera is 8 megapixels, with a 1080p HD videocamera. You can also shoot panorama photos, and edit with certain functions.
