            This nails it for me. I'm going to get one. I've got apps saved with itunes from my 3GS, so it'll be an easy transition. I'll keep my SGS2 just in case though, it's been a great phone.

                      anadatech is athe most apple biased website in the world. Cant trust them not matter what.
                      And besides these benchmarks prove nothing even it they were real...but i doubt it. Apple skipps frames to get these score, they also put a full stop on everything when rendering a frame....imagine windows stopping all services in the background just to draw a window.
                      And no matter how smmoth ios is it.s still not usefull....so what if i find a super smooth rock...its still a rock....it s locked. Its like a clone...
                      Imagine if everybody could only buy one type of car model and only two colors...thats insane.

They put their first step in processors world and blew away everyone with only dual core.....That's something impressive, secondly they managed to merged so many technologies in iphone 5 and still makes it lighter and thinner...!!!

Eventually to me, all that customizing on my android became irrelevant. iOS is truly a smooth operating system regardless of whats powering it. Apple seems to find the right balance. Example, the first iPhone (obviously will seem slow now) ran very smoothly on barely anything, compared to the G1.
