How come Apple is not ready for Quad-core cpu? Almost smartphones out there already have Quad-ccore cpu.
The 5 is so non-compelling that I'm looking to go to a SG3. With all of the money and resources that Apple has, this is the best they could come out? I'm even more disappointed with iOS6.

I don't understand what people expect. The iPhone 5 uses next gen ARM15 SoC, the first smartphone to do so.
Because its a next gen ARM15. Everyone else is on quad ARM9. Apple beat everyone to the punch in implementing ARM's newest SoC.
The first time i saw pictures of the ip5 i thought that i looked at the new ipod, and thought it was a cute music player. Then i realized it was the phone - lol. I still think its cute, i just dont think its going to cut it any more. And frankly who cares if its a15? what argument is that? its a nerd android argument.
It's still fairly unusual to see quad core phones, and for good reason. There are distinct tradeoffs in terms of performance, die size (cost), and power consumption when you use a quad core over a dual core. Meanwhile the benefit of a quad core is mostly lost on such a device since it's a unitasker, as most programs do not have workloads that can properly utilize that many cores.How come Apple is not ready for Quad-core cpu?

I am no apple fan, but think the ip5 is a very nice upgrade.
The ip4 was heavy. It was a brick. Why on earth it wasnt slammed to the ground for it is beyound my imagination. If any - ANY - android phone was going to the market with 140g and a 3.5 screen everybody would laugh - even if the design was super nice.
The IP4 was a record fragile phone. Why on earth you can design a phone using the two most idiotic materials for it, i dont understand. Again if samsung designed something that was so fragile everyone would laugh. Even the fans. Only THE major brand can do it, and turn it into an advantage saying it was because of the design. The ip5 shows it was pure bs.
IP5 is lighter, slimmer and will be solid. Thats major improvement in my book, that makes it competitor on objective terms with other phone with the same size like fx. sgs2. And the phone looks really nice and will have super sharp screen.
If it have the a15 fine, if it have 1.6Ghz A9 with 32nm powergated cores fine. The phone will be plenty fast.
But i think people just want bigger screens today for the simple fact that most people use their phone different from 5 years ago and surf a lot using the phone. One sign of that is fx. the data usage is exploding. Its a solid sign that the phone is used differently. We even see a huge market for fx. the note. I think apple will have to change their strategy for the next ip6, and diverse the product line.
with the 4 being free, 4s for $100, and 5 for $200, it will be interesting which direction Apple's US market share goes.
No they don't. I actually am not too excited that the new iPhone 5 has a larger screen. I want a freakin' PHONE not a f**king tablet that I hold up to my ear. The iPhone 4/4S was a perfect size IMO. The iPhone 5 is a little bigger so I'm ok with it, but no way do I want to carry around a big f**king phone with me. If I wanted a larger screen, I'll use an iPad not a PHONE. Maybe the next Samsung Galaxy phone will have a 10" screen so all the geeks will say, "Oooooo see how much better the Android phones are. They're much bigger than the little iPhones....which means they are better."
So you think it's cute and that no one cares about the ARM15 soc.
Riggghhht......

Anyhow, a quad core processor is a much better fit for a tablet (though whether it's necessary even there is debatable) since you get to pair it with a much larger battery, which helps to mitigate the power requirements.
I really don't think it necessarily does a lot for tablets either. At least in regard to iOS, the software may differ between device types, but tablets don't operate much differently in the background than the phones do.
Thats what all survey shows.
But dont worry, you would have bought even it if it was 4.3. Apple defines what you are ok with. You say the ip4 was perfect, so you are okey with 140g in your pocket?
ROLF.
Yeaa its a cute littlle children phone. And have a little cute improved Av7 variant. You might be disapointed, but you will have to wait for the next android to have the real powerfull 15 stuff if you need a real powerhouse or just buy a sgs3 or whatever just not Apple.
Spin the v7 all you want. Haha
I honestly couldn't care less about size and weight at this point. Even the original iPhone was small and light enough that it was easy to pocket and to hold. I also wish they would just give up on the glass and metal and just rubberize the casing, so I don't have to use a case with it. The design of anything but the front is literally irrelevant as long as they keep building a phone so fragile that you need to be either rich or stupid to use it without a case. Every single person I knew that tried to go caseless ended up with shattered glass and a huge repair bill. Accidents happen to everyone.
You guys are hilarious. Keep on complaining about how Apple is failing while the preorders sell out like mad. And the screen size was exactly what was expected - what crack are you smoking?
No need to lie, especially when the truth is so easy to find on Apple's own website: http://store.apple.com/us/product/AP...are-for-iphoneEvery iPhone comes with 1yr apple care free. Shatter your phone they'll fix it free.
Apple has NEVER offered standard accidental damage warranty coverage on any of their products. A broken screen on an iPhone costs $99 upfront for AppleCare+, and a $49 service fee for the accidental damage repair.Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends repair coverage and technical support to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling, each subject to a $49 service fee plus applicable tax.
