I'd be interested in seeing how well a single core A5 manages to run iOS. My 4S gets plenty of stutter as it is.

I'll freely admit that I don't have any numbers handy and you guys raised some good points. Still, post #7 quoted some numbers that indicate the potential of significant savings by going for an off-the-shelf SOC. Hell, Apple could just buy Qualcom…

You're just being obtuse at this point. Whatever, I'll bite. First off, yes, in terms of semiotics, dime-store jewelry and a Patek Philippe are both, very, very broadly speaking, fashion statements. They both speak "the language of fashion", as Ro…
