#iphone 5 release in the philippines

That includes the iPhone 5 which we got for an outrageous sum of money. The unit came from Singapore and hand-carried to Manila right after its release in Singapore last September 21. Photo of the iPhone 5 box right beside the older iPhone 4S. The unit feels lighter on the hands despite its larger size (I kind of miss that bit of heft from the old iPhones). The EarPods now comes in a small plastic box of its own which gives it a more premium look compared to the old earphones that come with the iPhone (as if the earpods were bought separately actually). We can also (slightly) feel that the iPhone 5 is slimmer, the controls are buttons are in their usual places. We managed to cut a microSIM to fit the nano SIM cradle on the iPhone 5 and we also had to download iTunes 10.7 in order to activate the phone (we will update once all that has been done). From afar, the iPhone 5 doesn't seem to be any different from the older iPhones (4/4s) but once you've held it in your hands, you will definitely notice the oddly taller (or elongated) size of the phone.
