First Reactions to the iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 is finally here. Since no one has one in their hands yet — though we've all seen the leaked photos — we're rounding up the best tweets of the day. In addition to a taller 4 inch screen, the iPhone 5 will feature LTE and a faster, more efficient A6 chip. Apple users: will you upgrade? Android users: Is the new iPhone making you consider a switch?
See all the new features at Apple.com.
