ScottC Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 It has the A5 chip It's up to 2x faster than before, with dual-core graphics, which are said to be seven times faster than previous iPhone. it can now intelligently switch between the two antennas between transmit and receive." Theoretical download speeds are now twice, 14.4Mbps versus 7.2 on the iPhone 4. Camera is now an eight megapixel sensor. that's 3264 x 2448. There's an IR filter on there too for better, more accurate colors. 1080p video recording AirPlay Mirroring is now happening, meaning you can get your gaming on the big(ger) screen.

Branners Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 well they obviously hadnt wrung ebough money out of the herd so decided to keep the i-phone5 for when they run short on pennies. My Samsung shark 3500 works fine, I can answer calls and I can make calls, I can turn it off and turn it back on and dont have to be attached like an umbilical cord to a charger!! 5 days standby.

Yes but can it navigate you around France, tell you the local restaurants or tell you how to say something in a different language? They are priced quite fairly to be honest, sometimes only slighter more expensive than competitors. I wanted to get a Samsung Galaxy S2 recently for the wife as they seemed to be getting quite good reviews but when I wanted to get one offline I was told it would be £530 for a 16GB S2, quite expensive considering how plasticky it felt. Same thing with when I got my iPad, I nearly went for the Motorola Xoom but in the end went for the iPad which was the same price but the build quality was difference apart. Using iOS on my phone, laptop made me sway the decision but the OS on the Xoom wasn't too bad but still lacked the fluidness. I just don't like the fact Apple has gone fashionable.
