iPhone 5 Teardown - Courtesy of iFixIt

Right lets get to it! For those of you unlucky few who smash your screens on your iphone, here's how to replace it!

1. Get your little Pentalobe screwdriver which is the same screwdriver used to open up the bottom screws on the iPhone 4s.Remove the 2 screws as shown below.

2. For the next step, you will need a suction cup, which has been used to lift the digitisers on the Iphone 3g and 3gs. Pull the screen up...

3. Remove the few screws on the connector shielding plate. Remove the shielding plate, and disconnect the lcd and digitiser connectors.

4. And there you have it! The screen is now off the phone, easy as that! Now before you put the fresh new screen on, remember to remove the 2 screws from the home button, and place the home button on the new screen and screw it in. Reverse the guide to put the phone back together and voila!

What the iPhone 5 has to offer

Finally the iPhone 5 has been revealed, and it  does appeal to the eyes.

My personal thoughts on the iPhone 5 is...I want one now! The thinness of this handset is shocking. The new iPhone 5, at 112 grams, is 28 grams lighter than the iPhone 4S, and at 7.6mm deep, it's thinner than even recent ultra-slim Android handsets like the Galaxy S III.

How did Apple manage to pull off such a stunt?

Well they have been working hard on making the inner components of the handset smaller compared to the previous iPhone, a round of applause for that.

They have given us a larger screen, which is a thumbs up! 

A faster processor, the A6 chip, which is again a dual-core chip but vastly improved, which is exactly what we need if you are a hardcore gamer on your iPhone.

Now here's a serious change, the charging dock is now thinner and a new design, which will render any old IPhone chargers useless with this handset.

The iPhone 5 also supports 4G LTE on EE! Very handy for super fast broadband speeds! A third of the UK will be 4G ready by the end of 2012, Apple stepped out and made the move before everybody else!

Best of all the iPhone 5 will have improved battery life! The iPhone 5 offers the same 8 hours talk time, but 8 hours of 3G surfing, up from 6 hours on the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 also offers an extra hour of Wi-Fi browsing, and 225 hours on standby versus 200 hours for the iPhone 4S. Those improvements aren’t bad considering the extra juice the pepped up hardware such as the new CPU and LTE radio will use.

Personally I cannot wait to get my hands on it! Looking foward to September 21st 2012!
