The Apple iPhone 5 is all we think it’d be - larger screen, faster processor and LTE, but one thing we had little information about was the camera…

Do you guys know the specs' for the Front Facing Camera, is it still a 0.30 Pixel VGA for video chat? Is Factetime still restricted to WiFi??

Think the front camera is now 720p,but in perspective that in itself is a feature other manufacturers having being putting into their phones a year or two ago

1.3mp im assuming considering the 720p limit means its a minimum of 1280*720

We expected minimal changes and thats what we got,Apple is however going to extensive lengths to make those few little changes seem like world changing things. Every manufacturer puts better lenses in their cameras each year,apples now however makes "the world a more beautiful place"!

And people were blaming SGS 3 for not going to 12 MP...

The title is misleading, as i was saying the Engadget liveblog they said it was the same camera in the 4S but smaller, AppleArena don't try to distort the truth.

Curious how the iPhone 5 camera stacks up to the Lumia 920 PureView. Unfortunately it seems we will have to wait until November (maybe longer if MS doesn't finish WP8 before long) to find out. I suspect consumers will just go ahead and buy the iPhone.

Honestly, I would be surprised if Nokia's camera is actually better. Apple has been pretty good with its camera quality, and the new camera looks even better. Nokia's pureview on the other hand, isnt actually in the Lumia 920, its just a standard (but probably good) 8MP. I'd be even more surprised if the 920 is better than the Nokia N8.

n8 was better the iphones camera, is the 920 better then the n8 well not sure but not a fair comparison
the n8 and nokia 808 were function over form
the 920 has to be form over function in many ways. if they had strapped the big sensor from the 808 everyone would have complained its too big so they focused on the floating lense tech keeping the size down
920 looks better too , apples cameras take over saturated photo's

Really Apple? Are you saying panoramic shots on the iPhone is revolutionary?
If you are then that is plainly arrogant and pompous. At least state that we have implemented what our users have been asking for. But to say this is the best feature yet shows a lack of respect to all technology pioneers who invented these things. Please don't say this is resolutionary. Please.

Apple is so busy suing Samsung that they forgot to innovate/steal new tech for iPhone 5 development. I see fan boy denial in Phone Arena.

The apple iphone 5 is said to also come with a fresh LTE lawsuit which will be provided by the company known as Samsung and with a little help from the other known company HTC....stay tune for more news

Wow Apple your a little late on panorama, sorry I can't get excited over something that was already on the Android device.
15. AndroidShiz posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:42 3 1
Never buying anything Apple, but the few things they should actually be granted a patent on is innovative marketing, hype, magical presentation pizzaz, the ability to keep most of its sheep in their pen, outrageously offensive prices, & maybe also having exclusive use of the now watered down word "revolutionary".

I am an Nokia Wp convert from Apple i-sheep hysteria!! Never again will I jump to Apple's side till they get there house in order!! This is just plain sad its the begining of the end of Apple in my opinion. Why Apple didn't even introduced NFC technology in Iphone 5 is beyond me????? The Nokia Lumia 920 looks like it beats Iphone 5 by leagues and bonds!! I am so disappointed in today's announcement!! Really Apple, Really this is the best you can come up with right now??? Not even Wireless recharging?? Nothing innovative other than being able to take advantage of T-mobile HSPA+ BANDWITH Sighs!! Thank god I converted in time to Nokia!! I am eagerly awaiting the Lumia 920!!

Alright, let's get this straight, NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY THE NEW IPHONE. Go buy whatever You want and stop trolling people. The fact that u keep insulting the iPhone shows that u know deep inside that it's a killer phone and it is. Am not an iFan but look at the build quality. Beautiful. A premium appearance. A new display with 44% more color saturation. A high end camera. New speakers. I am a proud galaxy S3 owner myself but I have to say that this phone deserves to be respected!

where were you when the nokia lumia 920 was been slated for no micro sd slot . all people on here are doing is saying how its a complete unrevoluntionary device playing catch up.
44% more color saturation- yeah because saturation is whats key not natural colors.
besides i doubt you have an s3, just think you say that to try and give your rant more validity

Lol look whos coping now "Panorama stitches images so you end up with 28-megapixel final images, and that’s impressive. But the most amazing new feature? We’ll let you decide in the comments below.
When it comes to video capture, you still have 1080p video, but with better video stability and face detection. You can snap still photos while recording video."
Ok panorama and taking photos in videos is nothing new WHERE IS YOUR INNOVATION!!!!
21. CardiWPfan posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:07 2 1
First of all Kronic, I see a double standard thing brewing in Phonearena!! Did you not notice when Nokia introduced there Windows Phone 8 portfolio. The masses flocked into Nokia's postings and bashed away and now your saying that with our constructive criticism we are trolling!! I will have you know I had an Apple Iphone 4s recently and was an Avid Apple fanatic. Soory I am not a troll this phone has nothing innovative PERIOD!! Wireless Charging albeit introduced by Palm is innovative!! I NFC technology is innovative, heck Pureview is innovative!! There is nothing innovative about the Iphone 5 period!!

Nokia was full of innovations and got luke warm response...had apple did the same...tech magazines,techies would have told"wow it's B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T'...such biased reporting.
