    That is why Apple stands alone in the crowd of phones made of cheep plastics, off-the-shelf users.

      They did a great job -- that 200k BrowserMark score is just fantastic. They also did a poor poor job with the GPU -- the scores are "2x" more than 4S but they are almost matched by the Adreno320 and probably will be matched (at least) by the new GPUs comming early next year

        Thats good to see but just wait for all the silly backlash from droidheads obssessed with spec and more is better attitude.Superb attention to detail and testing and coding make the iphone the fastest,slickest smartphone on the planet.

          The Exynos 4412 Quad on the Samsung Galaxy s3 is faster!

          Even S4 CPU on the LG is faster

              Hahaha don't want to own one thanks.....can't even look at pics or watch normal bids without the black lines because the screen ratio is a joke lmao....I could go and buy one but no thanks my 4s is miles better. Well done you lot for spending a lot of money on a extra row of icons! My 4s runs with no lags on anything so doesn't need to be faster!!!

                sure apple have put some hard work in this A6 nd bought inovation in the Mobile CPUs...it feels like Intel VS AMD where Intel goes after less cores and great IPC performance compared to AMD's MOAR CORE strategy cant imagine what the Quad core version of this thing will be

                        Ok processor is well made, but rest is very poor. Battery is weak, no matter how this a6 is good.
