                  Also because im techy i know what optimization can do and how big difference it can make, and thats why iOS doesn't need quad core.

                  Apple can optimize their OS and hardware run perfectly together, thats why apple had for example smooth web browser in 2009 with 600mhz processor, while android phones couldnt run browser smoothly even with 1ghz processor.

                    Still Android Leads Worldwide. I will never buy Apple iPhones until they will be innovative as they should be like Samsung does nowadays. iPhone 4S was Awesome in 2011 but that iPhone 5 was a complete crap and Mess. Aside from its lack of Innovation, still Boring and Not worth it for its price. Apple dies when Steve jobs past away.

                            Showing growth in numbers is very important for corporates especially the listed companies. If Apple's usage shows only as sliding in terms of usage among masses then this is bad and CEOs try to get positive growth numbers. Infact market research analysts sometimes lead management of companies by giving them what they want, they have their own ends. Its hard to see Apple gain usage in numbers in an already saturated market and one that has been harvested for growth numbers for a long time. A reason why Apple is releasing an affordable iPhone so that growth numbers can be created abroad for the share holders and wall street. If the usage in masses is not growing then it means it is going down, hardly can one keep the number stable. If Apple wants iOS to not die like the "classic" Mac OS, then they have to come up with growth numbers. And market analysts understand this.

                                  It doesnt matter if its dual core or not if everything runs supersmooth and fast. Only samsung fanboys thinks that spec numbers mean something and also they know exactly what processor their phone has, well thats all what they know...

                                  Apple users see their devices works smooth as butter and see how fast is it, they dont care what parts are inside, because know why? It doesnt change anything because you never feel that you need more power.

                                  For example i have iPad 3 which came over year ago, i have never thought this device is underpowered like of course all the sammy fanboys said right away when this device went public. I havent ever thinking this device should be faster.

                                  So yeah more cores doesnt make better sell numbers, if that is what you thinking.

                                  "Other companies should just stop making better smartphones"

                                  And this, well its not about phones, its about OS and ecosystem.

                                  If better phone means more sells lumia 920 should be on top three on that list, but it isnt because of OS and lack of ecosystem.

                                    Other companies should just stop making better smartphones and learn their lesson well, you just can't compete against a dual-core 4 inch display smartphone this is the future dual-core and 4 inch. :P
