The device was released alongside a brand new line of iPod Nano and iPod Touch products at the Yerva Center in San Francisco, where Apple's Tim Cook and Phil Schiller took the stage.
With the reports that Apple sold two million units already of its new smartphone, it is still far to conclude that Apple will reclaim the top spot of the smartphone battle that was once stolen by Samsung with the release of Samsung Galaxy S3.
However, the new Nokia and Samsung smartphones have the possibility to hinder iPhone 5 sales because of its great specs and features that further intensifies the competition of smartphones in the tech market.
