Schiller says the new phone will have a battery with eight hours of talk time and eight hours of Web browsing. It will have an 8-megapixel camera, with special features to eliminate noise in images and perform better in low light. There’s also a feature that lets you stitch multiple images of a landscape for a panoramic view.

The new phone is made entirely of glass and aluminum. Apple calls it its thinnest and lightest yet, at 7.6 millimeters (0.3 inch) thick and weighing 112 grams (3.95 ounces). It’s 18 percent thinner than the iPhone 4S and 20 percent lighter. It also has a bigger screen, measuring 4 inches diagonally.
