iPhone 5 is destroying the S3 in Hardware Benchmarks! LOL

lol @ extremely defensive apple fanboys in this thread.

lol @ extremely defensive android fanboys in this thread.

Basically most people posting on here are pathetic.

Everyone will always contend that the phone they have is better. Most are locked into a two-year contract and only wish to see information that justifies their purchase.

This is true of iPhone and Android owners alike. Believe me; I've been both.

True. But still a strawman argument. The truth still stands.
 
Yes, because real world use is extremely dependent on benchmarks. Pandora plays twice as fast on iPhone! :rolleyes:
 
Chill out ppl, iphone 5 feels cheaper, because it is lighter - feels in hads like toy compared to solid feel of iphone 4\4s. Sgs3 feels like toy by default, as it is made of light plastic. Pitty that apple reduced dimensions and weight - could put more powerfull battery and retain that pleasant high end weight in hand. Hell, they could have made it from steel instead of that crappy aluminium alloy.
 
I say the same thing to this that I say when people crow about the benchmarks on the latest android - who cares? It's about the experience, not some artificial number.
 
i5 is a great product.

S3 is a great product.


I'm a bit older so I don't know if many of you posters had phones in 2006.

We are living in tech nerd heaven.

Enjoy the competition! :)

I respect both products and both companies. :D
 
Reminds me of the old Chevy, Chrysler, Ford arguments down at the track.

Each to his own.
 
Once new Android phone releases and destroys iPhone 5 in benchmarks, die hard fanboys will revert back to "Benchmarks doesn't matter, it's all about the user experience"

Yeah, its always "the next version will be optimized for this and that." That elusive next version.

You mean the same way iPhone users have to wait for the next version to get important things like larger screens and LTE? As mentioned, the iphone 5 is running brand new OS. Only fair to compare it to the competition running its new OS. Its Android. There will be a phone out that crushes the iPhone 5 in a month and then another Android phone that crushes that one a month later. Apple can only upgrade hardware once a year. The iPhone 5 will look ancient within 5-6 months

TOTALLY right. Nowadays, people respect the companies and choose what they want. Only in strange areas do people still have some silly loyalties because the market has matured.

For me, it's iPhone.. for my friend, it's Android. WHO CARES?!?

Enjoy the fact that we are blessed enough to even consider this debate. First world problems! :)

And then when better Android phones come (LG Optimus G in a few months) that may lose to the iPhone 5, I wonder how many of these same people will be saying "eh, benchmarks aren't important."

It's usually the same deal with specs. If the competition has better specs, "Specs aren't important / The iPhone doesn't need better specs." But if Apple has the best specs, "Eat it, competition!!"

Ditto the weight argument. Before, it was "I like that my iPhone has some heft to it. Makes it feel premium." Now that it's lighter, "Ha, the iPhone is lighter than the competition!"

Having said that, kudos to the iPh5, not just for the benchscores, but for passing drop tests with flying colors. I'm sure the lightweight-ness has a lot to do with it. Definitely takes away from the GS3 argument that we need plastic to survive drops. I think it's time Samsung (and other Android manufacturers) start paying attention to better build materials.

Please leave. Your post was too well thought out and rationale for this thread, or any Android vs iOS thread for that matter
 
I like competition. If I have the money I will buy iP5, Lumia 920 (maybe, wish it's not on Windows) and the best performing and most good looking Droid (with UI totally different than iOS) for my tastes.

Regardless or even if that down the road future Droids whatever will outperform iP5, no one can take away what Apple has already accomplished with iP5 (designing their own processor) - beating the best of the best right now - not just in performance tests, despite of .... blah blah. :D

Core per core, iP5 is the best looking and the most durable smartphone in the market, it also happens to be the most consistent or topping many performance tests (by reputable groups) right now.

See you in the next round. :D

PS
Not really sure about owning a smartphone with Windows OS.

not really, b.c it is all about software and not hardware...the galaxy nexus running JB proves that. Plus, I don't think anyone would say the 4S is outdated. The only thing it is missing IMO is LTE.
