Imagination Announces PowerVR Series7 Graphics, Likely Headed for Apple's 2015 iOS Devices

[oftheheavens]

Put me down in the minority that never play games on my iPhone.

Sure I'll download them but they go untouched

Same here. Battle heart legends was the last one that really made me want to play an iOS game. Before that I don't even remember.

except the whole device currently has less memory than the PS3 or Xbox likely has just for graphics memory

Except you would likely be wrong.

According to Wikipedia, here's the graphics memory specifications of the last-gen systems:

• Xbox 360 has 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM clocked at 700 MHz (but that memory is shared by the CPU and the GPU via a unified memory architecture)
• PlayStation 3 has 256MB GDDR3 RAM clocked at 650 MHz
• Wii has 24MB of internal 1T-SRAM integrated into the GPU and another 3MB of embedded GPU texture memory and framebuffer

6S/6S Plus are going to rock.

My prediction:

A9 - remains dual core and gets another 50% boost in efficiency.
Camera: 16MP and a sensor/pixels sufficiently large to maintain current low light performance.
4K video @ 60fps
Full HD 240 fps slo-mo
Body: No more bendy 6 pluses. 😛

Star of the show will be the camera.

You're dreaming if you think the sensor will be more than 10-12MP and 4K video. It wouldn't shock me if they stuck with 8MP.

This made me laugh.

Wife/kid/longboarding/school but I'm still on my iPhone like 5 hours a day easy, just haven't had a game that grabbed me yet. I think it is my old school ways needing buttons, so games get like a 30 second trial by me and either I get addicted (not often) or I never touch it again.

They should just outright buy IT. They do good work, those guys.

Instead of doubling the resolution from 8MP to 16MP, I would rather Apple double the pixel size! 😎
Also opening the aperture to 2.0 would be nice too.

I'd prefer the same pixel size but more of them. 8MP just doesn't show enough detail, it's starting to look bad compared to higher MP phones in that respect. Actually 12MP would be sufficient for finer detail, and it would be a reasonable increase in sensor size to maintain or improve current low-light performance.
