To achieve this, Apple engineers have creatednano-SIM card, which is 44% smaller than the micro-SIM card, and also combined the chips responsible for voice and data transfer - in iPhone 5, one chip is responsible for data transfer and voice.

It also took a thinner display to reduce the thickness of the phone. IPhone 5 uses the Retina touch screen. The thickness of the display was reduced thanks tothe absence of a separate sensor layer from the electrodes: now the pixels of the screen simultaneously form the image and act as electrodes that respond to touch. Thanks to this new display is 30% thinner.
