Get up to speed. On CDMA/LTE networks (like Verizon), iPhone 5 does not do simultaneous voice and data. On GSM/LTE networks it does both but it's not LTE data either as the phones switches to 3G. Android phones on Verizon do 4G data and voice simultaneously.
Got a tip for us?

I'm the Fandroid who doesn't use or want to use Android! It's an indication of being an Apple fanboy when you call an iPhone user a Fandroid. I think the iPhone is much, much better than the competition.
OK, I'll admit for you that the iPhone 5 is about to be the fastest phone on the market, not that I ever doubted it. I just said that it would be unimpressive even if I were to theoretically care about phone specs.
iPhone does LTE and voice on GSM. Android phones use LTE for data and 3G for voice.
i'm gonna play devils advocate here and repeat what i've read from many apple fans. it's not the hardware that matters, it's the software. so why does hardware all of a sudden matter now?
the fact is, android has caught up to iOS and has a hugh potential to surpass iOS. in some ways, it has and some ways it hasn't.
don't get caught up with silly ads like samsungs. as a person who likes the latest technology, i'm not devoted to one brand of another.
I think you've got it wrong. On GSM/LTE networks it uses 3G for voice and LTE for data on a call and on Android CDMA/LTE phones they use 3G for voice and LTE for data.
Wow, what a surprise, a phone that is about to be released has a slightly better performance than the S3...
Reactions here are amusing.
the real surprise here is that a dual core ,1 gb ram phone beating quad core ,2 gb S3.
I'd like to point out that the SGS3 in the browser list isn't the fastest as there is on that runs on Jellybean and scores just over 1800.
Also, we cannot take one benchmark as proof. We need more cross-platform benchmarks.
I think the speed increase is great but I have a feeling Android is holding the SGS3 back :/ We only got true SMP support in ICS and I think there can be a lot done to improve performance.

Of course NOW the benchmarks don't matter. How pathetic can some people be. LMAO
They don't matter. It's just amusing that Apple's custom 1Ghz dual core outperforms quad core chips running at much higher clock speeds.
So while benchmarks don't matter, Apples design prowess does, so the iPhone 5 is sure to be a great phone.
Also, almost no one buys an iOS device for benchmarks. It's the experience that sucks people in.
I have an 8-core Mac Pro. I understand how minor the significance is. My machine is noticeably slower than a quad-core MBPR.
He was from Sweden, where I'm sure this didn't get any press since there are no CDMA networks. Yes, the GSM model drops down into 3G when taking a call, but I don't think that any manufacturers build in a second radio to keep LTE going on a GSM phone during a call since it is a lot of work for marginal benefit. On CDMA phones, it produces a more tangible benefit.
So these could be faked and it's a week before launch. Who would have an iPhone 5 right now to run GeekBench besides a handful of Apple employees?
OMG, elitist jerk attack.
Are you involved in the development of S4? Is it out already?
Were you involved in the development of A6? Any source you can quote about the A15 elements?
You don't know jack about the architecture behind these procs, but here, have a medal for being registered on the forums longer than I am.
Grats!
Looking at the details of the SIII and iPhone5 GeekBench, it looks like the SIII is faster on all CPU intensive tasks but completely fails on memory performance.
Weird, especially since the memory itself in both devices is from Samsung. Either Android does a bad job here or Apple is doing some magic in iOS and/or the iPhone hardware to boost memory performance?

Not sure if you're trying to make me jealous or what but, yeah, go enjoy your iPhone 5, I'm sure this "magic and revolutionary" device will bring you a "completely new experience" when compared with the 4S. I'll stick to my 4S and Galaxy Nexus.You keep telling yourself that while I enjoy my iP5.
The 2gb S3 is most likely the dual core Snapdragon based model with LTE. The quad core international version has only 1gb of RAM.
Probably not gonna happen.
Damn, the iPhone 5 will officially be the fastest smartphone out there. And that's just theoretical performance. In practice the resource-efficiency of iOS will make this phone even more of a beast. I'm impressed.
As above posters have so aptly put, APPLE's meticulous engineering has yet again placed it at the top of the heap. Can't wait now to see that A6 in the next iPad!!
This is for raw processing power. I believe you can compare the two. Computers from 2 years ago still get about twice the score.
Here is my nexus 7 overclocked:

Except Apple has never had a CPU wipe the floor of anything.
This is the first CPU that even comes close to competing. Apple will recycle this thing over again for another year and you might see the A7 2 years from now.
But its kind pointless when the OS is so locked down you cant use the power anyway
