When we envisioned the new iPhone, we landed
on a remarkably thin and light design. But it’s nearly impossible to
make a device so thin and so light without sacrificing features or
performance.
We could have taken the easy way out and
designed something more reasonable and less remarkable. But we
didn’t. If the technology didn’t exist, we invented it. If a
component wasn’t small enough, we re-imagined it. If convention was
standing in the way, we left it behind. The result is iPhone 5: the
thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever.
iPhone 5 is just 7.6 millimeters thin. To
make that happen, Apple engineers had to think small, component by
component. They created a nano-SIM card, which is 44 percent smaller
than a micro-SIM. They also developed a unique cellular solution for
iPhone 5. The conventional approach to building LTE into a world
phone uses two chips — one for voice, one for data. On iPhone 5,
both are on a single chip. The intelligent, reversible Lightning
connector is 80 percent smaller than the 30-pin connector. The 8MP
iSight camera has even more features — like panorama and dynamic
low-light mode — yet it’s 20 percent smaller. And the new A6 chip is
up to 2x faster than the A5 chip but 22 percent smaller. Even with
so much inside, iPhone 5 is 20 percent lighter and 18 percent
thinner than iPhone 4S.

Volume (in³)
Making a thinner, lighter iPhone meant even
the display had to be thinner. Apple engineers accomplished that by
creating the first Retina display with integrated touch technology.
Which means instead of a separate layer of touch electrodes between
display pixels, the pixels do double duty — acting as touch-sensing
electrodes while displaying the image at the same time. With one
less layer between you and what you see on iPhone 5, you experience
more clarity than ever before. All on a display that’s 30 percent
thinner than before.
Never before has this degree of fit and
finish been applied to a phone. Take the glass inlays on the
back of iPhone 5, for instance. During manufacturing, each
iPhone 5 aluminum housing is photographed by two high-powered
29MP cameras. A machine then examines the images and compares
them against 725 unique inlays to find the most precise match
for every single iPhone.
Look at iPhone 5 and you can’t help but
notice the exquisite chamfer surrounding the display. A
crystalline diamond cuts this beveled edge. It’s what gives
iPhone 5 its distinctive lines. Fitting for a phone so
brilliant.
Aluminum and Glass Body
The back of iPhone 5 is made of anodized 6000
series aluminum — the same material used in Apple notebooks — with
inlays along the top and bottom made of ceramic glass (on the white
and silver model) or pigmented glass (on the black and slate model).
Precision-Matched Inlays
During the assembly process, each iPhone 5
aluminum housing is photographed by two high-powered 29MP cameras. A
machine then compares the images with 725 uniquely cut inlays to find a
precise match.
Sapphire Crystal
Although the surface of the iSight camera is as
clear as glass, it’s not made of glass. It’s actually sapphire crystal,
whose hardness is second only to diamond on the scale of transparent
materials. That means the surface of the lens is far less likely to
scratch.
Diamond-Cut Beveled Edge
A crystalline diamond is used to cut the chamfers
of iPhone 5. This process gives the beveled edge its beautiful sheen.
It’s not easy to create earbud-style
headphones that not only feel good in your ears, but also sit
securely in your ears. That’s because everyone’s ears are different.
Using optical scans combined with silicone molding, Apple designers
created 3D models of various ear types to find a common shape across
many different people. That shape led to the unique look of the new
Apple EarPods. Unlike traditional circular earbuds, their design is
defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more
comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones.
They’re more stable and durable, too. Apple
engineers asked more than 600 people to test over 100 iterations of
the Apple EarPods. Testers ran on treadmills in extreme heat and
extreme cold. They performed various cardio workouts. They were even
asked to shake their heads side to side, up and down. The result:
Apple EarPods provide stronger protection from sweat and water, and
they’re remarkably stable in the ear. Which means they stay in, even
when you’re on the go.
Fit and Stability Research
Apple’s Industrial Design team tested 124
different prototypes of the EarPods on over 600 people.
At the same time Apple designers were trying
to define an ideal earbud shape, Apple sound engineers —
acousticians — were focused on improving sound quality. First, they
established a target sound for the Apple EarPods. That target: a
person sitting in a room listening to high-quality speakers.
The biggest determinant of what you hear from
any speaker is the movement of its diaphragm. The inward and outward
motion is what creates sound. But earbud speaker diaphragms are
typically made from a single material, which can limit sound output.
So Apple acousticians re-engineered an earbud
speaker diaphragm with both rigid and flexible materials to minimize
sound loss and maximize sound output. Adding to the superior audio
quality are strategically placed acoustic vents. The most notable of
these vents is the one located in the stem of each EarPod. It allows
air inside the stem, which acts as an acoustic chamber, to flow out.
So you hear deeper, richer bass tones. The overall audio quality of
Apple EarPods is so impressive, they rival high-end headphones that
cost hundreds of dollars more.
How a product looks and performs matters, but
so does its impact on the environment. That’s why nearly every Apple
product is made from highly recyclable materials like aluminum, and
why we refuse to use harmful toxins in our components.
Every iPhone starting with iPhone 3GS is free
of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
That includes our newest iPhone — iPhone 5. In fact, Apple has one
of the strictest BFR-free and PVC-free standards in the industry.
And we expect the same from our suppliers. We go so far as to
disassemble our products into individual components and materials in
our Cupertino lab. Then we test them using many methods, including
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and ion chromatography. We do this
to ensure that every product we release meets our environmental
standards.
