Apple introduced the iPhone 5, with a bigger screen and slimmer body that analysts quickly branded a sure hit for the culture-changing tech giant.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook called the launch "the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since the iPhone."

The California company called the iPhone 5 "the thinnest smartphone in the world," with a glass and aluminum body that is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S.

The new iPhone has a rich four-inch (10-centimeter) display prime for the red-hot smartphone market, in which screen size is a key factor for buyers, according to Nielsen senior vice president Jeff Wender.

At a packed launch event in San Francisco, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller praised the new iPhone as "an absolute jewel."

Apple will start taking orders for the phone Friday and begin shipments on September 21 in the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, and the phone will be available in 100 countries by the end of the year.

Pricing for US customers will start at $199 with a two-year telecom service contract.

Schiller said the taller iPhone nestles in one's palm to naturally align with thumbs and works on the faster mobile Internet networks known as LTE.

"When you carry your phone it should fit beautifully in your hand, that is just how we designed iPhone 5," he said. "Everything you do looks gorgeous on this beautiful widescreen display."

The new device features Apple's own new A6 processor, which according to Schiller doubles the speed for loading Web graphics.

"The primary purchase drivers for smartphones are price, features, operating system, apps and screen size," Wender said during an iPhone 5 hands-on session. "Apple addressed all those key drivers today in spades."

Battery life, a key complaint of smartphone users, is extended to eight hours with mobile phone and browsing and 10 hours if Wi-Fi connections are used.

Apple also customized a sophisticated mapping program, upgraded its voice-activated assistant known as Siri and more tightly integrated Facebook.

i was waiting for the announcement of the iPhone 5 to decide what phone to go with & now i've decided to NOT stick with Apple & make the switch to Samsung. it's a new phone... but it's just isn't all that new after all. think they've stretched themselves too thin with staying on the same design & form.

not to mention that the Home button was not even touch sensitive as per previous rumors...

come on Apple, your iPods are already going to that direction, why not your phones?

Apple will release an iPhone 5S in June, a break from the pattern it's established over the last two years, says Jefferies analyst Peter Misek in a note this morning. Misek is predicting the iPhone 5S has a new "super HD camera/screen, a better battery and NFC," and "possible updates include an IGZO screen for Retina+, 128GB storage." He's also predicting it comes in 6-8 colors, presumably similar to the iPod Touch which comes in a bunch of colours.
