Do care about upgrading the **** camera the thing comes with
iPod touch = $299
iPhone 3Gs = $375
iPhone 4 = $549
iPhone 4s = $649
And why wouldn't they use the A5X chip ?!I'm betting the iPhone 5 gets the same type of CPU: a 32nm version of the A5 (which Apple may be able to run at the full 1GHz speed this time, as the power consumption should be lower). The raw components and core designs needed for a next-generation "A6" SoC are not widely available on the market yet, so Apple can't really make a move to totally new silicon yet. They would need ARM Cortex A15 CPUs and the PowerVR Series 6 GPU design, neither of which have been released.
And why wouldn't they use the A5X chip ?!
you dont have to buy it on a contract, I never buy my iphone on contract
edit. I see others got there first
Better graphics wouldnt hurt ,right ?Because 4 GPU cores is overkill.
If they update the screen resolution on the iPod touch, how will anyone know that I have the iPhone?
Apple has been rumored to be splitting its iPod touch line, perhaps keeping a current A4-based model with 960x640 display at the low end in order to achieve the lowest entry-level pricing possible while bringing the upgraded hardware to higher-end models.
Thanks for the explanation. What you just said boils down to iPhone screen being more kick a** than the iPod touch screen. IMO.The current generation iPod touch has the same resolution and the same overall screen dimensions as the iPhone4 and iPhone 4S.
But the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have displays with true 24-bit colour using superior IPS LCD technology; the current iPod touch has a display with 18-bit colour (using dithering to simulate 24-bits) and apparently uses inferior TN LCD technology.
TN vs IPS tech will result in a narrower viewing angle; 18-bit colour with dithering vs 24-bit colour will result in fewer perfectly reproducible colours.
Better graphics wouldnt hurt ,right ?
Is it confirmed anywhere that they wont be using the A5X chip ,maybe underclocked ?!
A) The chip is MUCH larger due to those 4 GPU cores
B) Yes, it would hurt battery life
C) It runs hotter
Why wouldn't be 28mm? Snapdragon's S4 is 28mm and is already used a lot by manufacturers
producing high yields.
And why wouldn't they use the A5X chip ?!
i think this means the iphone 5 will also have desame processor unfortunatly
The current iPod touch has the same screen resolution as the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.. So what are you talking about?
You mean the **** camera that took some of the best pictures at the Olympics?

It's not a **** camera, more like **** photographer. There's nothing wrong with the camera, it's you.
Edit: (If you weren't talking about the iPhone 4S, I apologize now. )
this thread is all about the iPod.
As long as they double the ram. If the new touch still has 256 mb of ram then they can keep it as it sucks now with low memory which causes Safari and app crashes.
