The s3 isn't faster than the 4S in opening apps and loading times, its faster at booting up though.
Hard to say depends what they put into the s4. It will be close though. The s3 does some stuff faster than the the 4s and vice versa. Atleast that it was has been the results on YouTube.The s3 isn't faster than the 4S in opening apps and loading times, its faster at booting up though.
Well im thinking the S4 will contain a full blown a-15 processor so the performance jump will be clear imo
yeah you are so wrong.
A plethora of Windows Phone 8 phones are faster than the iPhone 5.
Not true. Here is a screenshot of Megamind without bars running on my i5

LOL, i will admit that the windows OS is nearly as smooth as iOS but the 920 takes a second longer to open apps (the few that are available lol).
EDIT: haha i just checked some videos out, haha turns out the lumia on W8 is worse than i thought. http://youtu.be/ECJGZoqvLrI
Wow it boots up slower than an iPhone 4S xD If you want i can send you links to it being flogged in opening apps and loading times if you want to go there. I think its faster than the S3 at least.
Source?
I have yet I see a Windows Phone run faster than the iPhone 5, either in benchmarks, real usage, or graphics.
I think he means in actual usage, as in iOS on the iphone 5 will still be more fluid than Android on the S4.
Theres no way a windows phone 8 is faster, the fastest CPU they use in those phones right now is a measily snapdragon s4 lol

Okay and whats the difference with a Android? You swipe through home screens with apps on them or you go to your app drawer. The i5 cameras both front and back are superior to the galaxy S3 and my i5 beats any S3 in browser speed tests and fluidity. The GS3 has a quad core for ****s sake give Apple a quad core watch what type of performance they would be able to squeeze out of it unlike Android
Who cares? There's only a small population of people who will choose phone A over phone B because of a few specifications. Most people purchase the phones that have the user-end features they want, good apps and a good ecosystem of accessories.
MacRumors readers/members are not typical users.
Despite higher-spec'd devices, the iPhone still has a HUGE market share because of the user-friendly UI and deep ecosystem of accessories (and conversely, has a great ecosystem because of the huge market share).
Insofar as multiple iPhone models with differing screen sizes, I wouldn't hold my breath. While its possible they will make two models (say 4" and 4.7"), I wouldn't bet much money on it. Apple's business plans have never, ever included being #1 in volume sales. It's amazing the iPhone is as popular as it is, but that was never Apple's intention. They simply wanted to make the "Mac" of smartphones. Sleek, well built, sophisticated software, and a targeted market - not a commodity smartphone for the unwashed masses.
Can you name a few? I cannot find any support for your claim. I'm not saying you're wrong; however I can't find any evidence that agrees with you.
That's an excellent point. Currently there are several phone one the market with far more CPU power than they will ever need (the 5 being one of them). Price, screen size, ecosystem and battery life are really the only factors that separate modern smartphones right now.
Back to the Forum question.
Apple needs to have 2 sizes of Iphones just like they have 2 colors.....let the customer choose what makes them happier. Proof of this is that a gamer would prefer larger while a businessman might prefer a more pocket size Iphone Or maybe even a 'high end Iphone that incorporates extra features

3 days before my Note 2 return window I wanted to try my wife's iphone 5 one more time. Played a few games and I was impressed. But when I started web browser on the 5 it was no contest. The Note 2 holds so much information on that large display it made me forget about the iphone.
I've been saying this for the last 2 years but there's 2 problems. If you increase the screen size you have to increase the resolution; pretty obvious. But most important you have to redesign iOS to accept these various resolutions. I don't see how Apple can impact customers and developers with black bars all over again.
If Apple releases another 4" iPhone in 2013 in a sea of 5" 1080p phones I don't see Apple gaining market share and they might actually lose some. The only positive point for Apple is that they did release a smaller iPad with the larger one. That in itself gives large phone lovers hope.
Google's own data shows that only 6.1% of all Android's sold are larger than the iPhone 5. The latest third party sales data for the last quarter shows the iPhone is currently outselling all large-screened phones combined.
I don't think these big phones are as popular as you think they are.
I want an iPhone that is the exact same as the iPhone 5 but with a SMALLER screen. I would love for it to go back to the 3.5" size.
But equally, IF their is a big enough market, why doesn't Apple offer a 3.5" model AND a 4.5" or bigger model for all you lot? I guess as long as all the apps and games work on both devices like present.
Another voice with the same idea:
And one of the reasons I want a 3.5" iPhone:
And I have big hands!
This thread seems to be full of people with the same feelings as me. I guess we will have to see what happens this year, but a cut down iPhone with cut down specs isn't going to do it for me, that's for sure.

I have both an IP5 and HTC Butterfly with me and I can honestly say that IP5 needs to be in range of 4.5" atleast ... I can easily reach all corners of the screen on the Butterfly with one hand ... its not at all like the crappy Samdung design on N2 ... very slick and sleek .. doesnt look too bigger in size when see it next to the IP5 ...
The next iPhone will be 4 inches. Today, I looked at the iPhone 4 and thought, what is this? Is this real? I can't believe I was ever using this square phone.
The longer phone seems like the normal size now.

iPhone What ?
Just came across this rumor.
What an odd model name
Apple to debut 4.8" 'iPhone Math' device alongside next-gen iPhone in June

Actually it's not. Read the original posts and don't just comment based on emotion or make comments that make no sense.
There's a difference between a fact, (e.g. iPhone runs iOS) and opinion (e.g. I love iOS so I want an iPhone)
Sorry but this thought no longer holds any truth to it. Nobody from Apple has clearly demonstrated this.
Pinch to zoom
URL entry
Contact Entry
Email Contract Entry
Alarm setup (I'll give Apple that)
Any other PIM data entry
For singular or static consumption of content ... meh.
Sorry from what I've seen with BB10 first-hand data is truly designed or one-handed use.
With the exception of pinch to zoom, why can't you do any of those things one handed?
