Apple A6 found to have custom Apple Core instead of A15 or A9

17 September, 2012
It seems Apple went through the trouble of creating their own ARMv7 based design for the A6 chip.

[deleted post]Well, it makes sense to care about specs as long as better specs actually help you. But this is not the case. Not in iOS or WP7, for example. I can run my Titan with single core and half-a-gig RAM and still be smoother and faster than most Androids out there. (not saying it is better, don't jump). So specs are overrated for non-Android users, it's all about hw-sw interaction.

Apple fans have long been used to a lack of innovation, that's why they get so excited at a humdrum size increase (vertically but not horizontally - wtf?) and better processing power in a phone that doesn't really need it since it only runs apps designed for iPhones. Fans of Android, Windows etc would regard the new iPhone as a ridiculous let-down, Apple fans crow about how it's the best in the world because they don't know any better.

            You Androids fans only cared about specs because your OS itself craves for it. It requires a damn high of processing power and battery just to run smoothly. Unlike the iOS, which has a processor that we are uncertain of it itself, still runs smoothly. Take example the iPhone 4S, it can still play all its games well. Then again, why do you guys cared so much about Apple's product anyway? Just leave this page clean of bashing and negative comments. Or at least keep it clean from stupid comments.

                      As long as the phone runs flawlessly without any lag at all, ever, and plays all the new HD games without a glitch, the rest is just details. Even the 1.5ghz dual core krait cpu embarrassed the hell out of exynos 4412 quad core cpu in evey single benchmark test, more cores is not always better performance people

                              Apple fuels sales on the speculative wishes of die-hard i-fans.

                              When the phones eventually get tested, inevitably we will find that they are not up to the more modern capabilities of certain Android phones....

                              ....then Apple will eek out any trivial marketing ploy to sell their device as more superior.

                              There are plenty of bias sites willing to help them for some sort of gratuity. Is this one?

                              Anyway, doesn't take a genius to see that their offering is no better than than phones released over a year ago. For this reason, I am disappointed and moving on to better things; probably Sony. Apple are late and behind. They are not innovating and I was waiting for something magic, not this rubbish!
