Of course it matters. the iPhone is becoming a mini computer, and I certainly want to know what is powering my macbook. I agree that I didn't really care what my original iPhone was using, but now I have something to compare it to. Perhaps Apple thinks people don't care? But I find it odd that it is no where to be found on their site.

No it is. My question was why Apple is not releasing the info...NOT engadget.

kdarling macrumors P6 Jun 9, 2007 17,373 5,925 First university coding class = 47 years ago Jun 10, 2009 #8 Apple also never said what the color resolution of the iPhone screen is, athough I'm pretty sure it's a really decent 24 bits. I think part of it is what others have said: Apple doesn't want to get compared directly against any other device, if they can help it. Especially now, with WVGA OLED screens popping up everywhere, some with 1 to 1.5 GHz Dragonfly processors using half the power they did before. Besides, doesn't it feel more luxurious if the specs are meaningless to the owner?
