Apple said the handset would ship on 21 September. Faster speeds The new screen offers a 16:9 ratio, matching that of widescreen televisions. Phil Schiller - Apple's vice president of worldwide marketing, who unveiled the device - said existing apps would be shown with black borders until developers updated their products. The handset also features a new Apple-designed chip, called the A6. Mr Schiller suggested this made it twice as powerful as the earlier model.
