The Apple logo at the back of the iPhone 6 won't be backlit

12 August, 2014
A new photo shows the logo doesn't have any pins for drawing power or any LEDs.

        A7 is comparable to the sd800, while being twice as low Ghz, and dual core compared to the quad core sd800

        If 64bit or the armv8 instruction set is not the cause of this benchmarks scores. Then what is?

        Do take note both iPad / iPhone uses the A7 chip.. and iPad have well over FHD display. And both sd800 and A7 is using quad core gpu. Thats without iOS8's metal implementation, which will further increase performance overhead removed from opengl.

In a year or two, android phone will have 64bit cpu and ram 4gb. There they will be more powerfull from 4gb ram advantage. Apple manage only one task at a time. It cant manage multiple downloads, it suspend later as u press home button.

            Hope you are happy using that Note 4 with the Apple designed metal sides.

              Too many sensors, fingerprint reader, etc, what about something really useful as a rectal thermometer? I'm sure It will be a blockbuster between Apple fans, that's would be a real innovation.

                The logo is not a sticker but a liquid metal inlay. Liquid metal don't block RF and that's why the NFC will work in an aluminium phone.

                      Showing a bunch og stickers isn't enough to convince me they are for the iPhone 6. Apple have never used stickers on the back of an iPhone. Why would they start now? Thyers's a hole on the back of all the recent leaks. Would Apple cover that with a sticker?

                        No it doesn't (that's SIMD, which you DON'T have like that -- google it).
                        What it actually means is that operands can be twice as large, with an increase in the value representation of the corresponding power of 2.

                        Any performance gain has very little to do with the CPU being 64bit or 32bit, but more to do with the changes made to the pipeline and/or register count.

                        That's what happened from x86 to amd64, more registers for better performance. 64bit was the pretext to add those registers, not the reason by itself for the performance increase.

                            Why would the plastic cover have electric connectors - if it was to be lit the led would be on the actual motherboard/sub assembly not in the plastic of the cover.

                                Anyways I'll go easy on you since you showed your "technical skills". 64 bit Architecture means that Every time the CPU processes something it will consume chunks of 64 bits where as 32 bit CPUs will consume chunks of 32 bits. This means your processes will be executed twice as fast at least.

                                As a result of this, CPU is able to address more RAM on the logic board. That is just an added advantage of 64 bit CPUs.

                                Android will never be 100% 64 bit cause of too many forks, too many active versions (GB still active even after 4 years.) So developers will not make their applications fully 64 bit compatible.

                                  No one said that its innovation. Fandroids are the ones who said its innovation and trying to bash it.

                                  No one here said that its innovative. Not even Apple. For all these Android Fans! Chill!!

                                        Note 4 vs iphone 6 or even 5s - i bet you iphone will still be faster and more fluid lol

                                        Its not the RAM (people like just want more, because your samesungs 3GB RAM is still not enough for you lol) thats how slow slow your device is!
