iPhone 4S Preorders Exceed One Million in 24 Hours

[halcyon]

Why do you guys go back and forth trying to prove one phone is superior to another. As if its important. Those that want an android phone will get one. Those that want an iPhone will get one of those.

Why is which one is the best (in your opinion) so important?

[citation][nom]chomlee[/nom]To all the Apple haters out there. I have an HTC evo. I have decided to upgrade my phone but unfortunately there are no Android phones now that I feel are really state of the art. I wanted to get the prime but I hear that is several months away for the sprint network. Anyhow, I decided to make the jump and get the Iphone. I have an Ipad2 and I know what the graphics engine is capable of. My nephew is a graphics engine developer and when he saw the graphics on the ipad he was blown away.As for the "not much of an upgrade crowd". The only reason why people where disapointed is they didn't call it an Iphone5. At least 2x improvement on CPU benchmarks and 7x improvements on the GPU benchmarks. To me that is much more than typical improvements. It is also the first time I have heard of a major upgrade in camera optics. The pictures they showed at the press release where simply amazing. I honestly think people expect too much sometimes are are too quick to judge before the product is even released.Benchmark Comparison to Best Android phone so far - Samsung Galaxy IIJavascript (lower is better) Iphone - 2222 Galaxy II - 4038Browsermark (Higher is better) Iphone - 89567 Galaxy II - 55144GL Benchmark - Egypt (Higher is better) Iphone - 73.1 Galaxy II - 42.5GL Benchmark - Pro (Higher is better) Iphone - 122 Galaxy II - 67That is almost a 2x improvement over the current champion, so don't tell me that it doesn't have the fastest phone CPU/GPU to date because it does.... PERIOD. Now the Nexus prime is supposed to pack a pretty powerful CPU/GPU combination. It will be interesting to see a head to head between the 2.[/citation]
Funny that you left the rest of the benchmark result out.

GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Fixed Time
iPhone 4S - 47930 ms
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 47433 ms

GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt High
iPhone 4S - 57.5 fps
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 59.2 fps

GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Offscreen 720p
iPhone 4S - 73.1 fps
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 47.3 fps

GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Standard
iPhone 4S - 58.2 fps
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 59.7 fps

GLBenchmark 2.1 Pro Fixed Time
iPhone 4S - 21049 ms
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 20870 ms

GLBenchmark 2.1 Pro High
iPhone 4S - 58.5 fps
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 59.8 fps

GLBenchmark 2.1 Pro Offscreen 720p
iPhone 4S - 122.7 fps
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 89.4 fps

GLBenchmark 2.1 Pro Standard
iPhone 4S - 59.1 fps
Samsung Galaxy S2 - 59.9 fps

So in eight of the tests, the iPhone 4S beats the Galaxy S2 in two of them, and those two refer to offscreen performance.

[citation][nom]watcha[/nom]Camera wise, the camera may well turn out to be the best once the phone is reviewed.[/citation]
In terms of camera I still put my money on the Nokia N8. It has more mpx, with a larger sensor, better lens and a better flash.

It's obvious the pre-order will be the largest in history. Hordes of 3GS users are waiting to simply upgrade their device.

From Anandtech:

'The GPU results tell a similar story courtesy of some early GLBenchmark 2.1 results. The 960 x 640 results are useless as they are bound by vsync at ~60 fps. Luckly GLBenchmark 2.1 added an off-screen render mode at 1280 x 720 where we can really see the differences between the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S A5 implementations:'

(in other words - all of the benchmarks in which Vladislaus claims the iPhone 'loses' - are limited due to Vsync, and the 'offscreen mode' is the true comparison because it isn't restricted by VSync. Or, to be more concise, the iPhone 4S is much much faster in CPU / GPU performance.)
