Customers have been lined up for days outside apple stores all across the country.

To be the first get their hands on Apple's latest gadget that's the iPhone 5 of course you've heard about it ago that tomorrow morning.

If you're still debating whether to get the new device we have a last minute look at what you need to know ahead of tomorrow's launch joining me now tech expert Lance you'll enough.

-- -- that com's editor in chief Clinton used to having you right here on set with me -- all confused.

Come on now is this everything it's cracked up to be for goodness sakes people get a grip.

You know I think this is really gonna appeal to the iPhone fans the people who are already devoted to this platform.

This gives them a little bit more of everything gives them more screen real -- so if you've looked at the iPhone four S and iPhone four that you take a look at the iPhone 5.

On the outside it looks quite similar but it's actually bigger it's longer.

And it's got more screen real estate it's about that Retina Display but it doesn't feel bigger in the higher out KOK -- -- -- -- It models it turns it to a -- -- let's get down to brass tacks here this is you know worst look at the map.

Function on this that's right not Google -- this is no ridiculous apple right nobody liked that yeah -- reviews.

-- you know and apple and Google used to be best of friends not so much anymore and apple had a pushed out Google services on Google Maps and YouTube off of IOS -- off iPhone 5.

And what this means -- you have a kind of brand new map a brand new apple Buffy and its interest staying but they know in fact apple said today that.

They're working on -- they want to make it better than taking the feedback because for his cool as some of this the -- flyover stuff is.

It's not -- detailed the 3-D fly over stuff and in some areas the Eiffel Tower lying down fly.

Consider the notion come on now and -- okay -- you this question because I saw this really interesting story today.

-- if he actually took the components.

Of this phone.

And price them it comes -- -- like.

You know 115 dollars I mean it's not worth that much money really just because we're all in love with apple we'd you know we drank the Kool Aid we're all really excited we really.

All right so it's 199 and it's based price right for -- eight gigabyte model if you get more storage -- -- it's going to go up and up over 200 dollars 300 dollars.

So you know it's close to its component price at that at the base -- But it's really about the ecosystem it's a not just look out.

-- -- -- -- Only originally thought I would -- yeah.

It's yours yeah now it should -- and and yell at your access to the Internet don't forget it now has RE -- what I car adapter not thrilled with yes.

That is a very big change so for years the iPhone has had a thirty an adapter all of them and now they changed is really tiny one great news Asia duplicate and by the way bad -- that's all your peripherals will not work without the 29 dollar adapter now.

And that is probably going to annoy some people are.

-- critical thing the LT he's there and yes very good but boy -- is inexpensive.

Yeah well here's -- thing about LTE you're going to love it and then you're not going to love it when you see how fast -- weak data.

And how it chews up your battery life now we have not tested the iPhone 5 so we don't know how it's going to do out there.

But my experience with forgy which is the other names LTE is that it's great until you phone dies three quarters of the way through the day.

Right -- -- last word here in the -- have been really really nice about this product.

You know what I think it's exciting because they've improved the product yet it still feels the same in your hand.

That's why like it I think that's -- people excited it is a gorgeous looking product it does that things that I needed to do but if you're an -- -- I don't know figure assuage.

Interest thing hospital -- -- -- -- through there at -- at the end okay I am an apple fan.

I just think people of -- -- over this -- plan takes free out tonight it's always a pleasure to see you it was my pleasure.
