When you buy an iPhone you have no more money for jeans

XD. This is true. Thankfully I am able to afford it.
But I don't buy them because I prefer Android.

Wait till they release their new clothing line.....Apple iJeans....with pockets made specifically for the iPhone. These aren't ordinary jeans though, they are skinny jeans that come with a pair of reading glasses and a grey hair wig. They'll be subsidized at all Apple retail locations for $200 on a 2 year contract with the purchase of a new iPhone. Remember to ask for the Apple iJeans 5, 5s, or the new 5c that automatically changes color to match your iPhone.

I think that they are pretty much the same price as Android flagships. Both are priced too high!

I don't think so. They have a ton of features so you could say it's reasonable. They're also more durable

Hmm. The One isn't in more durable same price. I don't think that's a fair thing to say since so people think it is worth paying a lot for the iPhone to sync easily with a Mac or such. People place value on different things

Yes. Even in offscreen rendering tests at 1080p the iPhone 5S OBLITERATES the G2 by almost 200% in some tests such as fill rate. Overall all it's faster in every test even run at 1080p.

The higher resolution on the newer phones is completely meaningless. There is no benefit to increasing the DPI any more than the 3 year old iPhone 4.

That is strange since the G2 and Note 3 have the same CPU and GPU... when I ran 3dmark extreme and looked at the final score, the Note 3 was way ahead... i know know.. they cheated by having it run at full speed... after all, no phone should run at full speed. Lol.

But its running over clocked. Those aren't default speeds and THEY did cheat.

If those speeds aren't accessible to the customer consistently, then yes, its a problem. There's a difference between the occasional spike at full power and maxing out everything to get the best possible results in a specific set of apps.

Galaxy Note 3 not the only one free of “benchmark shenanigans” accusations [UPDATE] - SlashGear
I don't think any one knows what apple does in the few benchmarks available to it.


This thread turned into an apple 5s vs N3 thread. Title clearly says S800 vs A7 yet no one understands the difference it seems.

 

[pappy53]

Does it really matter if one phone is a half of a second faster than another one?
If it doesn't fit your needs, then all of those benchmarks don't matter. Any top-tier phone ( Apple, Android, or Windows ) is going to be fast enough for most people.

I have to agree with this.

I definitely agree with this. My G2 and G Pro may not be the fastest phones by far but they meet my needs which is way more important.

The awkward moment when phones now have more ram/processing power than most $400 lap tops

I was looking at the benchmark tests for the nexus 5 phones, and even intensive tasks like 3d gaming use 2 cores max. Even basic multitasking tasks like streaming music while surfing the web wouldn't need that many cores either.

Even for laptops, Apple still ships their MacBook Air laptops with dual-core processors, and they are no less capable for the majority of tasks their customers use them for anyways. The stuff which may need more cores, like video editing, aren't stuff you would typically do on your phone anyways.

Since we are in the topic of cores, can anyone tell me what you do on your android phones that actually make use of all 4 cores?

Solitaire. Solitaire makes exceedingly heavy use of all 4 cores.

Only when you win and it does the bouncy card effect. That's the graphically taxing part

Well considering the Note 3 uses an S800 and the 5s uses an A7, it can easily be construded as a Note 3 vs 5S thread....

Everyone cheats. All that matters is that you love your phone and when you pick it up and use it, it does what you need it to do and you're satisfied.

It is not over clocked in any way ,only thermal throttle is raised.
