These models also support 4G/LTE and are housed in a slim, 0.30-inch aluminum "unibody" case with a glass front, available in dark gray "slate" with a black front or silver with a white front.
The iPhone 5 is driven by a 1.3 GHz dual-core "Apple A6" processor, has 1 GB of RAM, and comes with 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB of flash storage. It also supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, three noise-canceling microphones, a bottom-mounted headphone jack, and the new USB 2.0-based Lightning port.
