The only people who thinks the iPhones are inferior are people who judge books by it's cover.

The iPhone 4S is in every way superior to every Android phone designed to be the best mobile phone.

Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone but it's got so many weaknesses.

- Worse battery life
- LTE that does not operate 90% of US.
- Bigger screen is not preferred by everyone.
- A Graphics chip that is atleast 1.5 generations behind.

When will people realize that with mobile phones GHZ is not everything.

Some people actually use their phones to make phone calls and appreciate a good long lasting battery.

    Anonymous, 06 Jan 2012The answer to that question is NO. If they do, it will be i... moreThey are not going to do a lite version because its only America that has lite and then Apple would have to make a second version for the rest of the world. That is why they made the 4S a duel band handset so you can use it anywhere. Plus they would need one hell of a battery so it would last longer.

      I don't think the new iphone will have quad-core. They're are already facing issues with battery life, hence the reason why they're using over-clocked processors. I think its questionable...

          The answer to that question is NO. If they do, it will be in the iPhone after the next one. They should be more worried about an iPhone that actually has LTE or even a comparable HSPA+ data rate.

              I don't think the next generation iphone needs a quad core processor unless the next ios has some crazy new sophisticated features

                if they can optimise the software to run on 4 cores then that would be good. If they are planning on quad core phones though, doesn't this mean that Samsung will be planning quad core phones too? As they provide the chips for Apple last time I checked? Which also would probably confirm that the GS3 or next flagship of Samsung will be a quad core phone? Just imagine the speed of these monsters :). Aright its probably not needed but why not if its there, might as well put it in. Not going to hurt is it? :)

                  Dave, 06 Jan 2012The ipad 3 will have one but the iphone 5 will come in octo... moreI agree with you 100%. Would make sense to release a new Iphone before October. Ipad 3 should come out in the next few months

                        I think they will jump to quad cores because at the time when apple make the Iphone 5 the quad core will be nearly outdated or at least no one will surprise because those makers such as Samsung and Htc are going to soon release their quad core devices

                          more core/hardware surely good for marketing & sales

                            The ipad 3 will have one but the iphone 5 will come in october. If anyone thinks it will come sooner your an idiot!
