Apple unveiled the new iPhone 5 yesterday.  As usual, it led to a burst of Facebook and Twitter posts about how it was a letdown.  And as usual, it’ll STILL set all kinds of sales records.  Here are the six things you need to know . . .

#1.)  The screen is bigger . . . four inches versus 3.5 inches.

#2.)  It’s sleeker . . . it’s 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the previous iPhone.

#3.)  It has more features:  It can do 4G wireless speeds, and it has a better camera, a faster processor, and a stronger battery.

#4.)  In spite of all the improvements, the price is exactly the same.  The 16-gigabyte version is $199, and goes up to $399 for the 64-gig version.

#5.)  It has a new power cord, with a smaller input.  So you know all those white cords you’ve got?  They won’t work with the new iPhone.  Apple will happily sell you an adapter . . . but it’s $29.  They also redesigned the earphones.

#6.)  Preorders start tomorrow, and it officially goes on sale a week from tomorrow.  It’s available on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
