Either Claymores -- your fox -- take this week it's all about the iPhone brand new iPhone 5 is out I have one in my hands let's dive in and show you some of the great new features of the the first thing you'll notice picking up a brand new iPhone 5 is how light it is it is noticeably light in fact -- handed to a number of individuals who have all said how it almost feels fake.

It does when you compare it to the -- of the iPhone four S which is not a heavy phone it's about 22%.

Lighter.

Then the iPhone four S and you can definitely tell in your hand it's also much thinner than the iPhone four and the iPhone four S side by side.

Also gone is that glass back from the iPhone four -- that a lot of people were dropping in breaking I know that I did a couple of times myself.

My wife certainly has dropped this a number of times -- cracked the back and now it's an all metal back and it feels really nice in here.

I can think of no other company may be Nokia doing some great things of their Lumia line of phones.

That puts this much fit and finish into the industrial design of its phones.

Beautifully carved edges around the side and again that all metal back.

And of course the beautiful retina screen let's compare that to the iPhone four -- screen and you can see.

How much more vibrant.

The iPhone 5 screen is compared to even for a one of the concerns I had about the new size of the screen which is a four inch display.

When you compare it to the iPhone four -- so it's a slightly bigger display.

Was holding in my hand would I be able to reach up to the top.

On the phone easily enough to -- click on maps or -- back buttons within certain applications.

I have to say in my testing I haven't had much of an issue with that.

Although I did move my.

Messages application down from being all the way up in the left hand corner so that I can access it more easily web sites certainly look nice.

-- here I am on the New York Times site and you just get to see more of the overall web site and I do so much web browsing that this is gonna come in handy.

You'll notice how fast this phone -- and I don't use that word lightly it is blazing fast on LTE -- the next generation wireless technology from spring.

AT&T and Verizon -- use in an AT&T phone right now here in midtown Manhattan and use -- How fast web pages -- loading it's faster than Wi-Fi in my career.

The camera app is much improved on the iPhone 5 so taking low light pictures.

Does a much better job -- the iPhone four and the iPhone four -- Also the front facing camera is now HD.

So when I can do those facetime calls get a nice HD picture and -- facetime calls with friends and family look a whole lot better.

They're new lightning connector and its super small on the bottom of the iPhone 5 what's great about this connector and I'll show you hear those -- in the middle of the night you'd you don't know which way your plug is going doesn't matter could dissuade -- Slides right in and you don't have to worries that upside down wise -- not connecting and it's not metal on metal it's really tiny and really nice apple has moved the headphone Jack.

To the bottom of the phone next to the speakers now.

So it will be interesting to see how people like that.

Whether or not it's inconvenient for them happen on the bottom as opposed to the top apple rolled out some new -- pods as well as that of those white earbuds.

-- recreated and they said they spent three years working on the new year -- In my testing I know that that music sounds a little base here.

And I enjoy that.

It also fit more nicely in my years on getting more direct music into my ear hole that I was with the original -- bugs.

There you go there's a look at the iPhone 5 notice I didn't talk about Iowa six which is the software of course -- powers this device that would take a whole hour to talk about so this is just about the hardware -- any questions about the iPhone 5 itself.

Always find me on Twitter at -- Boris or Google+ FaceBook or any other social network you can -- him till next time.
