And a better CPU? I thought I saw that.
It's a newer model. It's going to be more expensive than the older one. Or am I missing something?
I agree, it has a nice new CPU. The thing is, what is actually going to take advantage of it? What apps actually take advantage of the a10? Are you going to see any difference scrolling through home pages and apps? Probably not. That's one of the consequences of supporting 5 year old phones. Apps have to run well enough with old devices that the new processors don't really make an impact. iOS is a relatively simple OS without a ton of features (compared to android for example), and simplicity has it's benefits in that it doesn't need the most powerful hardware to run well, the downside is, because of this simplicity, the most powerful hardware in the world won't do much to change the day to day experience. Basically, it's like driving a ferrari with a 60mph speed limiter. Sure, it can go super fast, but you'll never get to see it or notice it.
