iOS 5.1 beta hints at quad-cores for next-gen iPhone and iPad

13. 530gemini posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:25 10 4

Well of course there would already be quad core phones in the market before Apple releases their own. Remember that android devices get released every month, hahahahahaha

17. c.hack posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:30 9 7

Too bad Android OS is so crippled it can't use more than one core. That's why its flails and stutters on dual core phones when even a single core iPhone 4 is smooth.

Ummm my GN is perfectly smooth, don't know what you're talking about.

Educate yourself dude...

Holy s**t are you spying on me? As far as I knew the only people who had used my GNex were me and my girlfriend...

How do you know how my phone performs? I'm pretty sure it's smooth.

its a combination of factors like the live wallpapers, its code, the fact that it doesent run two cores at one time, unless it opens an aplication. you should stop just calling people idiots when you are the one who does not know what they are talking about

It doesn't matter if its already available in android devices,if the iphone 5 has a quad processor in it when its eventually released in sept/oct 2012 then its a certainty that it will then change everything again again

iPhone 12 Slogan:
"We've changed everything over and over, again and again, and now we've done it once more!"

Android doesn't rush things. The Manufacturers do. Don't blame an entire OS for other peoples' faults. (for gallitoking)

Looking at the other HTC article about their lost revenue, it's obvious that they need to stick to what Apple does: creating a SOLID and GREAT phone and updating it. The Evo line is...okay? I have an Evo 3D which was the first dual core to hit the states on a carrier, and that was great...but it wasn't as big a deal as the Evo 4G when that came out!

Iunno, it's just kind of a toss up. I will be getting an iPhone once a 4" comes. No questions. Especially if that mock up posted 12 hours ago is real...haha

Android does rush things.. Honeycomb was rushed and now is useless and obsolete ( a honeycomb tablet doesnt exited anyone anymore) .. the Nexus was rush in the announment back in Oct when clearly the nexus/ICS were not ready yet .. ( wanted to steal the thunder from Apple). I can go on but want to save my bullets for other fights/debates..

"Android doesn't rush things." -- you might want to check the android history books. Android was supposed to imitate RIM devices and when Apple released iOS 1.0, Android switched gears pronto. The early generations of android were a bit rushed.

Probably still not as smooth as a Windows Phone.

Well, yeah. Apple doesn't have to rush to do things first because even if someone else does it first they can always advertise it as new and people buy into it.

I wouldn't rush either...

15. c.hack posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:27 4 3

Android has always rushed out bug riddled product. I've had Droids for 2 years and they gave been beta products at best compared to iPhone.

Android's version of dual and quad core is irrelevant since the Android OS is crippled and cannot use more than once core.

19. iamcc posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:34 3 4

If you've had Droids for two years that means you've had Droids pretty much since they first started being somewhat popular.

Obviously a new OS is going to have disadvantages over something like the iPhone which had been in people's hands for some time before the Droids became even close to mainstream.

To say they were beta products compared to the iPhone is perfect. So the fact that you know that yet continue to bash Android says something about you.

It took the iPhone HOW LONG to do MMS? Let's talk about beta products.

12. gallitoking posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:22 5 5

you are only giving half truths. as Siri is way better that google voice... you know why people dont use google voice.... because it sucked.. with Siri it doesnt suck.. is much simplier... in other words.. better...

24. iamcc posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:43 4 3

So if you are already in a text message on an iPhone can you press a microphone button on the keyboard and dictate text? Because I can on my Android and it works flawlessly.

If the new iPhone with Siri can do that then my comment is pointless but as far as I know it's not capable of that. You can definitely voice-text but not if you are already inside an application where you would be typing.

Anywhere on my GN where I would enter text using the keyboard all I have to do is press the mic button and say whatever I want.

32. biophone posted on 06 Jan 2012, 12:32 3 1

I hate to take galo's side here but it can do that. also i have used both google voice and siri and siri is way way better. Not that google voice is bad but siri is game changing. Don't get me wrong the 4S was a huge disapointment but attack it in others areas not siri. Anyway I have noticied you been reply to c.hack alot today iamcc ignore him he isn't worth it.:)

I think you may have mis-spoke. Google Voice is completely different from Siri. In fact they have nothing in common. GV gives you a phone number and handles texts and phone calls. It also emails you transcribed voice messages. I use it with out a phone these days for my mom to call me locally even though I now live far away. I am sure you knew all this though.

Not seeing any facts so I will dismiss your comment as "ignorance"

I stated I have been doing this for years is the complete truth.

I have used Siri, I have asked "it" several questions with the response "I'm not sure what you mean" how is that better?

35. gallitoking posted on 06 Jan 2012, 12:38 1 0

ok ocasionally Siri might say that.. but GV.. you have to speak like a robot to understand you... all I know is that GV is not better than Siri.. and is not who came first.. is whom is better...

well apple have seen how the competioin has survived and, how they've reacted. take the tegra 3 for exaple, it doesnt have a neccasseraly good GPU compared with that of the A5, but the CPU and its architechture are relitivly good, if apple didnt make the jump to quad core they probably wouldnt survive the first 3Q of 2012

20. iamcc posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:35 2 3

How many times are you going to post that on the same article?

43. baaam posted on 06 Jan 2012, 13:15 0 1

tegra 3 has 4+1 more core if im not mistaken!! #justsaying

64. thebikerboi2 posted on 07 Jan 2012, 04:01 0 0

yes but android cannot use them and that 5th core is only for powersaving mode, it cannot be used at the same time as the other 4 cores are active.

23. iamcc posted on 06 Jan 2012, 11:36 2 2

Yeah because we all know that iPhone users need to have the "latest" to feel good about themselves.

Let's talk about insecurities...

29. 530gemini posted on 06 Jan 2012, 12:27 3 3

@iam. What? What's insecure about updating to a new iphone every year or two? You fandroids update every 4 months, lol. So who needs to have the latest thing now? Lol

39. iamcc posted on 06 Jan 2012, 13:06 0 1

My point is this...

The fact that you consider it a benefit that Apple only releases a phone once a year so that you always have the latest clearly shows your need to always have the latest.

Why?

That is geat for the environment and this is obvious. Updating phones frequently means more android devices heading to the landfill than need be. As you know, customers want new phones so those obsolete android phones with short life-cycles and poor customer support are just headed for the landfill.

@iam. What a twisted way you have of looking at things.

Is there anything wrong with wanting to have the latest version of a device? Of course not. But how would you feel if the latest device that you bought 3 months ago is shortlived because another latest device has been released? Worse, the latest version OS would not even load on your 3 month old device, hahahahaha. How would you feel? Great?

Be realistic. No one will be happy to spend $700 dollars on a device that will be old news after a couple of months. Excpet of course a fandroid like you. Sheep :)

The assumption seems to be that when a new phone comes out, Android users are upset at the fact that their phone isn't "the latest and greatest" anymore. But that's not always the case. Many users look for a phone they will be happy owning for the next 12 - 24 months. When people shop with that kind of mentality, they don't care what else comes out in three months.

@Zayzay. Siri may be smarter than you are, but Siri will not be able to remind you unless you tell it to remind you to eat at a certain time :)
