Is Apple planning to soon ship iPhones with quad-core chips?

07 January, 2012

Some reliable people have discovered quad-core processor support into the iOS 5.1 beta code. So, we could expect quad-core iPhones and iPads in the near future.

Shocker? Of course not. But it’s good to know Apple is already working on the next big hardware jump.

core.0 means single-core, core.3 means quad-core

So, what do you think - will the next iPhone be a quad-core gadget or Apple will stick to the dual-core technology for one more generation?
