Feel free to perform your own search to find the countless other optimized apps.
Good luck with that!!
Bloatware that runs all the time, kills your battery and you can't delete it. The only way to get rid of it is to Root the Phone, then you void the warranty.
But, don't tell us we didn't warn you.
But, when buy that, it means more IPhones for us that actually want a Performing Phone, not an accessory.
As an iPhone 3GS user, trust me, the effects were fully visible within a month of the iPhone 4 coming out. It wasn't 8 months.
Remember, Apple started giving the top developers iPhone 4's with A5 chips in April (https://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/2...el-gaming-developers-with-a5-based-iphone-4s/). The big time developers have been preparing for this for almost half a year. They'll be ready to release new apps quickly.

Sounds like someone who is abit mad that they won't be getting a new iPhone.

Probably because you didn't have an iPhone 3G when the iPhone 3GS came out. If you can, check to see how ***** slow the 3G iPhone is. You probably won't understand how you ever used that phone.
I'm a 3GS owner -- I've been eligible to upgrade for over a year. I passed on the iP4 because of shoddy materials (fragile glass is not durable enough for a tech item I handle over 100 times per day) and signal issues.
I will not buy the iPhone 5 if it uses the same flawed design as the 4.
Plus, as I said earlier, the A5 could be a beast, but you won't see any major app releases that close the door on iP4 and 3GS users anytime soon (would be leaving too much money on the table) -- at minimum until next summer when the iP6 comes out. By then, Apple will have hopefully ditched the terrible design and I'll be more than happy to upgrade.
Are you sure about that?

Yes, that is an article from April when the big time developers started their development for an A5 chip.
I have the Infuse 4g... It's nice. But having a dual-core iphone would kill the infuse. Especially with the CPU and the GPU that iOS devices have now. I only got Android because I stopped playing games on my iPhone. I got an iPod touch instead. I can't kick iOS out of my life at all. haha.
I sense that PowerBook G5 pic coming on
.Such fun to refresh and see this on the front page. "Faster processor is faster". Really stretching to find something positive in what seems like our fate is to be ... oh go on, down rate me, you know you want to
.
shouldn't this be changed to announced rather than launch since we dint know that bit of info yet

I have dropped my iPhone 4 many times and it has never broken.
Also many apps have already been updated to take advantage of a dual core A5 processor after the iPad 2. If a developer adds optimization for A5, which they will before or shortly after release, it doesn't mean that their apps won't be compatible with A5 or anything that comes before that.

A flash exported game, Machinarium, only runs only iPad 2. The developers main reason was that iPad 1 lacked necessary ram and cpu speed......for a 2D game.
Hopefully Machinarium can finally run on iPhone 5.
Really? After Tuesday I'm picturing him quite happily using a different phone altogether. Easy solution for disappointment - like restarting into Windows and not looking back to get over Lion.
My wife dropped her iPhone 4 from about 18 inches and the front cracked, she then dropped it from about 3 feet and the back shattered. I love the iphone 4, but it is fragile.
You shouldn't have an iphone if you are going to keep dropping it. I dropped my iphone once in 4 years. Your ihpne will break one day and it will be an expensive mistake, but I can say "Told you so".
Yeah, because it's a flash game, ported to iOS via Adobe Air.
Too bad they couldn't port it right; it's an awesome game.
And yet he clearly said he wants to wait for a redesigned iPhone 6. He didn't buy an iPhone 4 because of the fragile glass backing?
LOL ok bro, whatever helps you sleep at night. Dropping any phone will not be good and there are quite a few in this thread that said their iPhone 4 was fine after they dropped it.
I have a 3gs. It lags, takes forever to get the camera app up. Takes cruddy pictures especially without fantastic lighting. Volume up/down buttons are sketchy. Headphone jack is unreliable. Dock connector is about to die (stuff has to be plugged in just right. I have to smash the home button to get it to register.
I want a phone that flows through the interface like water, gets to the camera app quickly and takes good pictures, even without fabulous amounts of light. I believe I will get all of that on tuesday.
