Background
The iPhone 5 is Apple's 6th iteration of the iPhone. Announced on September 12, 2012 at an Apple event at the Yerba Buena Theater in San Francisco, the iPhone 5 improves the body styling of the iPhone 4 line by increasing the screen size and reducing the weight and thickness of the device. The update also saw the inclusion of LTE cellular wireless networking and the introduction of a new, proprietary I/O connector—the Lightning connector. Repair of this device is similar to the previous models, requiring screwdrivers and prying tools.
Identification
You can identify the iPhone 5 by one of the following model numbers etched into the back case:
- A1428
- A1429
- A1442
It's easy to distinguish the iPhone 5 from previous models by its 4" display, aluminum-and-glass rear panel, and all-new Lightning connector. In addition, the iPhone's headphone jack was moved from the top to the bottom of the phone, just like the iPod Touch lineup. Circular volume buttons and a ring/silent toggle switch are situated on the left side. A SIM tray is located on the right side.
You can tell the iPhone 5 from the 5s by looking at the flash module to the right of the back camera. The iPhone 5 will have a circular flash module while the 5s has an oval flash.
