By MICHAEL LIEDTKE APSAN FRANCISCO -- Apple Inc. has unveiled the iPhone 5, and says it's thinner and lighter than the previous model, even though it has a bigger screen. LIVE BLOG: ABC News reports from inside the Apple event
As expected, the screen is taller than on the iPhone 4S, making room for another row of icons.
It will also come with the capability to connect to the fastest new wireless data networks, both in the U.S. and overseas. That's another feature that was widely expected. Some competing phones in the U.S. have had this ability for a year and an half.Thanks to new technology that eliminates a separate touch-sensing layer in the screen, the phone is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter, said Apple marketing head Phil Schiller.
