Apple is Talking About the New iPhones Right Now

[blackened144]

[citation][nom]istank[/nom]Wrong mister!!! Raw processing power goes to the Tegra 2. The A5 and Tegra 2 are nearly identical for raw power except for the cache, the Tegra 2 has nearly double the cache. Apple has done a great job with optimizing the OS for the A5 making it benchmark great. But, with the restrictions placed on the iDevices there is no way that any of them can perform on the same level as their competitors on a Tegra 2. IF Apple were to use the Tegra 2 and optimize the OS for that processor you would see even better results.[/citation]
You should do more research. They both use the same Cortex-A9 CPU, so on that front they have the same exact CPU horsepower.. But the GPU in the A5 package completedly blows Tegra2 out of the water.. Just read todays review of the Galaxy 10.1 tablet on the homepage..

[citation][nom]xcomvic[/nom]What I am surprised about, especially with this whole Apple conference is that there is no partnership between Blizzard and Apple to release WoW and Diablo to their phones and tablets. Obviously you'd have to scale down the resolution/graphics, but I know it could be done and I've been wondering when it would happen. Guess not today[/citation]

Silly Rabbit, you know Apple and Gaming don't mix.

Very disappointed. Well, the Android fans can rejoice, Apple fans have absolutely nothing to be excited about.

The thing i dont understand is that if you are getting your phone to read your text message to you and then replying by talking to it why would you not just call said person and have a little chat. Unless you are blind.

Except for having the most powerful CPU/GPU package you can purchase in a phone, there is absolutely nothing..

I did my research. They both use the same ARM CPU. The A5 modded by Samsung and the Tegra 2 is the NVidia flavor. Both identical, only the Tegra has double the cache.If you had bothered to read what I posted you would have seen that I mentioned that Apple optimizes the OS for the processor and that had they been using the more powerful Tegra 2 their performance would have been even better than the A5.

[citation][nom]The Greater Good[/nom]Yeah, it's not the same. I don't have to deal with that crap they call iTunes.[/citation]
I have been using my HTC $G Inspire now for 7 months and I carry my iPod 3GS with me for my music....because iTunes is easier to use, looks better, and functions better.

Dear Apple and Iphone haters, please go read some other story. You don't have Iphones or any other Apple products, so just scoot and find something else to complain about. And no I am not an Apple fanboy, don't own anything Apple. I use a Motorola Atrix 4g Android phone and Windows 7 on my PC. Just tired of the stupid comments from you, every time there is a story about Apple or the Iphone.

it's almost as if you can talk to god himself.....

ROTFLOL

[citation][nom]quantum mask[/nom]Agreed. If anyone remembers, this is the same mistake Palm made. They had the market for a while. Then they sat on their laurels while WM6 caught up from behind and surpassed them. We loyal Palm users had to sit and watch other mobile phones make advancements. Seems like the same scenario for iPhone now.[/citation]
But the bigest diference is that this is Apple and not Palm, Palm never had the numbers or the followers that Apple has, so there is no way the Apple will follow the same fate as Palm

 

[blackened144]

It all boils down to the fact that the PowerVR SGX 543 GPU in the A5 package is better than the GPU used in the Tegra2 package.. You can ignore them and make all the excuses you want but the benchmarks prove my case unless you think Toms is biased and lying..

Very insightful but I fear the audience here can't (or won't) see your point. They need something to hate and Apple makes a good target.

Looks: the most important feature in an mp3 player.

"Apple touts that Macs have grown by 23 percent while PC only 4 percent."
Also let's put it in perspective and just say for example 23% of 100 is 23, and 4% of a 1000 is 40. So while Apple's % might seem impressive, there could still be a lot more new people who got a PC.

[citation][nom]blackened144[/nom]Actually assuming the iPhone5 is using the same A5 silicon from the ipad2, then it will be the most powerful phone on the market until Tegra3 devices come along.. And it still has advantages like the highest resolution screen and best battery life.. So you have to take a very narrow view of what phones are "better" if you are going to assume its something other than the next iPhone..[/citation]

You know what the battery life on the Iphone is before its out? Have you tested it with the A5?

Sadly people prefer looks over music quality, that's why you have people walking around with IPODs with the stock earphones in.

The presentation guy can't even speak in sentences. Get an education Mr... what's his name?!
Loser. Not impressed at all. Sold all my aapl stock after this bad presentation.

Selling your Apple stock may not have been the wisest move (since Apple seems to be making money hand over fist) but I am certainly disappointed with today's announcements. I had silent hopes for something neat. Didn't happen...at all.

Dear Maddad,
Apple is easy to hate because it's super-fans are annoying as f*@!

Also, anyone else watching Apple's stock price? Slightly up during press conference, down fairly sharply after the news was allowed to sink in a bit ha!
