Wow...you already have the phone?
Post a video I'd love to see it.
I'll wait until I can see the phone & test it until I post dumbass comments.

"Though the iPhone does benchmark somewhat slower than its competitors, Apple's close integration of software and hardware leads to significant performance gains that Android phones can't easily replicate."
Always look at the bright side of your life.:
Half is not somewhat slower.
So you're already passing on the 5S and GS4 is double the speed? Keeping in mind benchmarks. So you can get to the home screen 2007 faster.
Really cool. My Great great grandma would love it.
I find it ironic that everyone thinks that they need the power of a MacBook 7,1 (Mid-2010) in their pocket. Seriously? An iPhone can run all (not buggy) apps on the App Store smoothly. That Galaxy S4 needs to be that powerful just to run the browser smoothly. Don't be fooled, my entire family uses Android and I use iOS. All my family does is complain how their supposedly faster devices are so slow and bogged down.
Yeah just pitiful because no one in cold weather with gloves on or hot weather with a golf glove on would love this feature.
Android benchmark people are the same people who think raw power is more inportant than drivers for graphic cards
Prepare to be disappointed
I'm was hoping Apple would continue with the trend of being unpredictable (like with the release of two iPads in one year), but I'm afraid you're right. iPhone 5S with Siri: The Next Generation inbound!!!
How does the benchmark work exactly? Sure my 8-core Mac Pro rips through video processing, but it's slower than an iMac for anything that uses 4 cores or less (ignoring my faster disk speeds due to striping). Realistically, I can't see the use for 4 cores on a phone... well at least not on an iPhone.

I said that here about the iPhone when it beat the competitors in benchmarks right when it came out. On top of that, the benchmark was shaky evidence that I think turned out to be unrealistic. People got mad at me. Someone even called me a "butthurt Fandroid" or something like that. No, if I couldn't have an iPhone, I'd have a flip phone. At least the commenters are mostly unbiased this time.

Tiny data plans make LTE useless.

The more comments I see from you, the more I think you're a shill.

Uh... I see a BSOD or the equivalent (a system-wide crash in Windows) about once per week on new Dell laptops and desktops at school. Believe it or not, I got one from visiting Bing.com with 5 tabs, and I was able to replicate the problem on 3 computers.

Some Apple fanbois are just a bunch of hypocrites. The people here saying "who needs 4-8 cores blabla" are probably the same who whinge if Apple just upgrades hardware.
You gotta give credit where credit is due. They made a phone not just a smidge smaller but cramped more oomph and a bigger battery in but even made the screen bigger without jeopardising the overall size.

Is that supposed to be hypocritical? Yeah, those people don't care about specs on a cellphone, so they yawn at spec increases form Samsung and Apple. I don't care either. Sticking with my iPhone 4. But I don't complain about anyone just upgrading hardware.
The bigger screen, more fluid feel, better connector, and nicer design of the iPhone 5 are good but definitely not worth it to me. And LTE isn't an advantage at all for me either.
AAPL will go down further. Drawn into battle screen size. If Apple keep the same ratio while boosting the screen to 5", they will have a winning product again; and launch it by summer to reap it.
The exynox 5 is made by TWO CPU's, one Cortex A15 and one Cortex A7. It is not a CPU with 8 cores
The problem, as I said, is people talking without knowing what they are talking about
Or perhaps, the ones with poor English skills are others.

iPhone keyboard was very bad for me, I can't write like I write with Swiftkey.
You're missing the point, there is choice and no, in the S4 you don't change the keyboard the default one is swiftkey.
And why is flawed?
I'm using a Galaxy S II with AOKP and it's butter smooth.

Yep, more like 4 big + 4 LITTLE cores.
notice the 5 is faster than the S3? You are comparing the next gen phone to a previous gen phone. Wait for the 5S release to compare phones with.
Quadrant and AnTuTu scores are out and the Snapdragon version is beating it.
Quadrant = 11,000-12,000 (1.9ghz snapdragon)
Quadrant = 8,000 (1.6ghz Exynos 5)
AnTuTu closer but similar story
19,000 Exynos, 22-23,000 snapdragon
However these wre run on the pre-production version until we see retail version we won't know for sure if the difference persists.The HTC one actually beats both versions in Quadrant & AnTuTu in nearly all instances currently, but again this might be different when the final version is released.
It's funny watching people defend the iphone. It's like watching a parent of a criminal defend their kid. Everyone knows the kid should be locked up but mom will swear he's a good kid caught up in circumstance.
Let me know when the iphone gets:
- Larger screen
- Faster performance
- More ram
- Better camera
- a back button
- removable battery
- sd card slot
- swipe typing
- A damn file system
- Multiple browsers
- LED notification light
- can install any mp3 as ring tone
- widgets
- a real notification bar
- multitasking
Ugh. Tired of typing. The list can go on forever.

It's the overall performance like display, speed and battery power that matter - and not any individual specs. My iPhone 4 still feels great even when doing some gameplay action (at least running Real Racing 2).
So if you really want a bigger screen, get yourself an iPad Mini. If not, buy a Samsung S4...

Half ot those is complete bs. The iphone 5 camera is still top of the class, for example.
I care about benchmarks, i really do. I think most of you guys are clueless. Let me know when your workflow includes anything geekbench tests for. This is as pointless as comparing 3d mark scores and thinking it translate to real gaming performance. Compare useful crap like spidermark or an actual games' framerates, application launch times, etc
