TYLER — Today, Apple revealed the long awaited iPhone 5.

It's thinner, faster...and taller...so you can fit 5 rows of apps on the screen instead of 4.

A longer battery life...a better 8 megapixel camera that takes cleaner pictures at night...and even does panaromas...a new Apple-built 'Map App'' telling you where to turn when you're lost...

In the U.S., pre orders will start this Friday, the 14th.  The phone will hit store shelves the following Friday.

Today, KETK's Casey Claiborne spoke with East Texans at Best Buy who were pretty excited about the new gadget.
