Does these two versions of iPhone make some differences? I mean, these two are of the same apple software right? Then what's the advantage of iPhone 5 than iPhone 4s?

Hi, Muench! I was shocked to read your question – I did not know that Apple will launch iPhone 5! I browsed the web for some articles about this specified concern. After reading a lot of articles, I have found out that it is really true that Apple will launch iPhone 5 and that will be on September. Articles said that we should expect it to be thinner, has new speaker grilles and a smaller dock connector. There is a possibility that this phone will not be called iPhone 5. It will have a metallic color with faster processor, 3D like interface, the headphone jack is on the bottom, and much improved battery life.Â
