    Wait for more records to break. There is frenzy all around
    with iPhone 5. I have seen how people are vying with each other to have their
    device. They are queuing up to buy the latest model. You can expect such
    madness with only Apple products.

    Yeah, the buzz is very high. iPhone 5 is creating sales
    history with its pre-order records. Once it is available in the market, the
    sale figures will jump. After a long time we are witnessing such enthusiasm in
    the market.

    iPhone promises to be better, slimmer and faster. A6
    processor, 8 megapixel camera and 4G – there is so much on the offer. Having 8
    hours talking time and 40 hours music time is no joke. Technology is expanding
    at a high speed, at times it even overtakes our imagination.
