Problem with the change in screen size to 4" and resolution of 1136 x 640 will be that native apple software will take advantage of full display size whereas third party apps will be displayed at their previous old resolution with black bars on either side for padding till they are updated.

Apple iPhone 5 to be available in separate GSM and CDMA versions

Source

Apple's just announced iPhone 5 will be available in two separate models when it hits shelves on September 21st. According to the official specs page from Apple, there will be separate CDMA and GSM versions of the phone, a break from the iPhone 4S which packed both wireless protocols into the same chassis.

The A1428 GSM model and A1429 CDMA model both support LTE, HSPA+, and DC-HSPA, but they do so on different bands for the various carriers that the iPhone 5 will be available on. Apple also lists a second A1429 model with support for more GSM bands than the A1428 version. Based on the specs provided by Apple, the A1428 will be carried by AT&T and Canadian operators (with support for LTE on bands 4 and 17), while the A1429 will be available from Sprint and Verizon in the US and KDDI in Japan (with LTE on bands 1, 3, 5, 13, and 25). The GSM A1429 supports LTE on bands 1, 3, and 5 and will likely be offered in global markets such as the UK, Germany, Australia, Korea, and Japan.

The last time Apple had to split the iPhone into two separate models was when the CDMA version of the iPhone 4 was originally announced in February, 2011. As mentioned, the iPhone 4S used a baseband chip that was able to support both CDMA and GSM radios in one unit. The separation for the iPhone 5 doesn't come as a huge surprise, though, since Apple had to release separate versions of the new iPad with LTE support for AT&T and Verizon.

If there is one thing that we can take away from this, it's that it will not be easy to transfer an iPhone 5 from one carrier to another. The A1428 model for AT&T will never work on Verizon or Sprint's networks, and the A1429 won't be compatible with AT&T's. Additionally, should you get an AT&T model, it likely won't work with LTE networks in other parts of the world.

EDIT:

CDMA Model A1429 for Sprint & Verizon seems to be global model supporting both CDMA & GSM.

CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)

The release of iPhone 5 is going to reignite the patent wars as both HTC and Samsung prepare to sue Apple on use of LTE in the new iPhone. I wonder how Apple would come out of this when HTC is planning to ask for a ban on entry of the new iPhone to US!

And in the lighter vein,

Apple Sues Apple As IPhone Found Copied From Earlier Versions

In a major turn of events, after running out of companies to sue, Apple has decided to sue itself for $10 Billion. Apple says that Apple knowingly and wilfully copied its own products and failed to innovate.

“Look at the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS; they all look very similar. Now look at the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S; they are almost the same,” said an Apple lawyer. Apple says that it has a patent on squares with rounded corners, which Apple copied for the last 4 years.

People have been mislead into buying newer products, year after year, which are basically the same. However, Apple says that it was building on its own innovation and design patents shouldn’t apply in this case.

The judiciary system in the US is absolutely stumped. They are already convinced that Apple has shamelessly copied Apple, but are not able to decide how to go about the case. It is the first time in history that a company has sued itself.

Some analysts believe that this is a very smart move by Apple. If Apple loses the case, and pays 10 Billion USD to Apple, it might serve as a precedent for future cases. Some believe that it is marketing ploy by Apple, after being reportedly out of any tech coverage for over 4 hours.

The lawyers at Apple’s legal department were found to be having a huge party near the campus in anticipation of the huge pay check that they hope to receive from Apple, as well as Apple.

Apple unwraps 4-inch iPhone 5: Top 10 features

10. Apple iPhone 5 gets a new connector - Lightning. It has all digital, 8-signal design, and is 80 per cent smaller than its predecessor.

By all means, it's bound to annoy owners of current speaker docks, accessories, and charger/syncing cables since it will render them obsolete. Apple will offer an adapter and adapter cables (of course it will), which range from $19 to $39. We imagine, though, that the adapter may be awkward to use with some current accessories like a bedside alarm clock/music player. For new accessories, Apple says that manufacturers like Bose, JBL, and Bowers are working on new products.

Though we welcome the idea of a smaller connector, we're miffed that Apple couldn't just adopt the semi-industry standard of Micro-USB. That would make things easier for smartphone users across the globe. Yet, even so, the smaller connector may be a smart move for the future. The 30-pin connector has been around since 2003, long before the iPhone even existed: frankly, it's a dust magnet. A smaller connector helps shave extra space to achieve a smaller phone with perhaps a bigger battery. The new connector cable will mainly be used for syncing and charging by most people who own an Apple TV or Bluetooth/AirPlay accessories.

Really Disappointing ! I was expecting at least finger print reader on the home button and NFC for passport (based on the rumour blogs)

This is just a silly revision, should have called it 4GS or something than 5.

Not even worth comparing with Nexus leave apart S3 which seems like an entirely different level.

Though secretly I am still hoping to buy the shiny new iphone5 !

But purely for the show-off value and smug happiness of taking it out in front of android fanboys and acting as if I really don't recognize their S3 or Nexus and commenting that 'Micromax makes good phones nowdays' while looking with disdain on their phone as they try to impress with their live wallpapers or whatnot. Or mentioning that it would anyway never fit in my skinny jeans pockets but is good for their baggy pants !

Plus I find I waste much less time on iphones compared to androids where i tend to keep fine tuning the apps & settings & roms & updates & compulsive backups rather than using the phone productively. Offcourse, blackberry is the least time wasting phone since it runs nothing worthwhile except mail/sms/calls.

Patience patience...Nirvana will come one day!

Before you get all jazzed to show off your new iPhone 5, take a look at the gadget you’ll be flaunting in a few years: the iPhone 10.

Redditor avfarooq looked into the gadget crystal ball and discovered the Apple device we’ll all pine over in the future.

Bonus: The iPhone 20, as envisioned by Alessio Biancalana. It might be large, but at least it’s Jedi-approved.

Whatever we say, we all crave for it.. there is nothing exciting or worth mentioning. they will market big on camera and lightness of the phone. people will fall for it. even if you see their launch video (below), it highlights the changes in manufacturing and other items which as a normal user I dont even care for. they do not have anything to show.. but whatever we think, people will line up for it.
