Apple makes it official: Meet the iPhone 5

(Credit: James Martin/CNET) Apple officially took the wraps off its latest smartphone and it's called the -- drum roll please -- iPhone 5.

Company vp marketing Phil Schiller said the new smartphone was taller, lighter and thinner than its predecessor.

Among other features, the new iPhone features the following:

• 18% thinner


• 7.6mm thick


• Made entirely out of glass and aluminum


• Retina Display 326 pixels per inch (same as old model)


• New screen comes with a 4-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio and 1136 x 640 pixels


• 44% more color saturation than iPhone 4S


• Touch sensors now built into the display itself. Schiller says it's 30% thinner as a result and thus, less prone to glare
