iPhone 4S and 5 side-by-side video comparison

http://www.macgasm.net/2012/10/01/video-side-by-side-speed-comparison-between-the-iphone-4s-and-iphone-5/

Just goes to show the iPhone 5 is a lot more than a "marginal" upgrade that's "slightly" better.

Three times the benchmark score than the 4S. Loving the three second boot-up time as well!

Didn't realize how much of a leap the 5 is over the 4S.

What does iPhone 5 do that the 4s can't?Heirren

16:9, five rows and LTE

and boot up in 3 seconds!

-_-' to an educated mind there will be new and great things to see in this update, but to the uneducated it looks like a slightly bigger version of their iPhone 4s. iPhone 5 gets 8/10 on CNET AU, i find them the most reliable.

GS3 - 9.5

4g GS3 - 7.5

One XL - 8.5

"Apple's design focuses on looks rather than ergonomics, iOS is mostly uncustomisable, and connectivity expansions, like HDMI and SD cards, are available only through expensive Apple-designed adapters. Apple probably believes that these are compromises that most users will live without, and in most cases, this might be true. We just wish we could have more of a say in how we use this phone, and we think experienced tech consumers will feel the same."

He is probably harsher than I would be on the review but his gripe seems more with iOS than the phone itself, in saying that he found it very ergonomically unfriendly, and i agree to a certain extent.The rounded edges have always been nicer to hold than the edged design introduced in the iphone 4, the only problem now is that its a larger edged phone.

Anyhow SOC wise its still a great little chip.

So you quote a singled out review from Australia yet disregard pretty much the majority of every other well established firm that makes the iPhone 5 out to be the clear winner in the market as it stands? Real reliable and unbiased. :roll:Kid-Atari

GSMArena mind you had an extremely positive review for the iphone 4S because they believed it still provided the most polished touch experience back then, they dont believe that anymore and rightly so.

Buy a case, ergo problems solved! Don't tell me you guys go naked with a $400-650+ phone now eh?

Oh yeah LTE is a must :P

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="Kid-Atari"] Yes, but an improvement "three" times over. It's a BIG improvement. Much bigger deal than people are marginalizing the improvement to be. Kind of makes you wonder how people say the 5 isn't that much of an improvement over the 4S. The jump from 3GS to 4 wasn't even this huge. >thumbs upKid-Atari

Do you understand how (american) cellular contracts work?

[QUOTE="Kid-Atari"][QUOTE="darkspineslayer"] Some of us can't justify $700 VS waiting a little for things to load. semianonymous
