Android Authority On Air – Episode 29 – iPhone5 Announced – Apple still playing catch up

1. the oppo finder is the thinnest smartphone.

2. It can't be based off the A15 because Apple has been working on this phone for the past year, before the A15 was even announced, so they had to work on existing architectures. Having said that, they still did a great job at doubling the A5 chips performance. HOWEVER doubling the CPU performance in a benchmark like Geekbench, you'll get 1264 points, the old S2 gets 1133, so it isn't revolution. Yes I realise I am ignoring the rumours of it being 150% faster in that benchmark.

3. Actually…false…its a custom core…its not based on A9 or A15….but if we were to pick one that its closer to, we would be safer saying A15…A9s do not support VFPv4, it supports VFPv3…the only chipsets that go up to VFPv3 are Krait an A15…Look at the tremendous performance gains on the A6…so far, there is literally no other chip that offers as high an IPC as the A6…you're right about the battery life though…just because they say +8 hours doesn't mean it lasts that long

4. There is an issue with the removal of Google Prepaid cards. While it is true you can now add any credit or debit card, you must have a valid US address. For those of us that root our phones and installed Wallet, but live in other countries; such as Australia, we are no longer able to use Google Wallet.

5. A6 is an optimised Cortex A9 core not A15 core…also it's 8 hours of predicted battery life, just because I say it can go for how long, doesn't mean it actually does.

6. same old boring UI on ios nothing interesting

7. No phone has an a15 architecture, try again.

8. jdbdjd

9. Its not a15 based

10. fforblack don't know what the fuck he's talking about.

11. but apple is the only company who makes iPhones n a bunch of companies use android so "android phones" should always out sale the iphone

12. S4 is not A15 based…its similar, but A15 is better in every way…go and learn and stop clamping everything together just because an A15 device appeared on iOS first…Apple might have just gotten LTE, (based on hands-on and reports) its battery doesn't get badly drained from its usage despite how thin it is! Try that on these other bleeding edge devices that had battery killing LTE chips…

13. Really? I thought the term phablet referred to phones with screens at least 5 inches across diagonally…

14. lol..thanks man…don't worry, I'm never surprised to see trolling on the internet..

15. Well if you consider 4.3" behemoth size then a DroidX

16. What do you think about the possibility of NFC and theft of data?

17. Fucking NERDS!

18. I guess I have tiny hands…what phone did you use before the behemoths we call phablets were "innovated"?

19. I don't understand the appeal of skinny jeans or get this joke…sorry for my terrible sense of humor and fashion… 🙁

20. android has like 100 phones with s4 krait CPU based on A15 architecture already that's why apple playing catch up. apple has now navigation and Lte radio really in 2012.

21. 4" screen? Unless you have tiny hands I don't know why anyone would ever want to play with a toy of that size wrapped in glass…

22. Got it up without any issues this time ;p

23. Hahaha….No flagship smartphone in the US is thinner than the iPhone 5…Its got Dual Cortex A15s…most advanced architecture commercially available on a mobile phone…8Hrs of LTE upon all of that and they say that Apple is playing catch up..silly fanboys…
