The iPhone 5 will begin selling to consumers from the early morning hours of September 21st, and with the Cupertino's latest and greatest smartphone retailing at hundreds of dollars ($199 minimum, and that's on contract), it's always intriguing to see just how much the individual parts cost each.
The iPhone 5, which was finally unveiled to the world by Apple on Wednesday, has already spent its pre-order quota for the September 21st launch date.

It’s time to do comparisons! We’ve already compared the smartphone kings, iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S III, and now it’s time to compare different aspects of the iPhone 5 with its predecessor iPhone 4S which, by the way, is still a very capable smartphone. Check it out after the jump!
