Has anyone else been having issues with the responsiveness of the touch screen on the iPhone 5? There are often times where I have to hit a button multiple times for it to register, as when I type it will often push keys I know I wasn't pushing. I never had these problems with legacy iPhones, and it has been pretty prevalent for me with this one.
Only with "legacy" apps. I'd est, apps that are windowed. And usually on the low-leftism corner of that windowed app. I'm guessing this is a SW issue but if you are having this problem with "native" apps all over the screen I'd return it for a new one if a restore doesn't work.
The reason android fans shout so loud is because they are desperately insecure about their platform, OS, and device. They are hoping if they scream loud enough they can slow Apple's growth and make Android a more permanent platform king. Some will argue Android already is the king in total worldwide marketshare, but those numbers don't tell the whole story because so many Android phones sold are to people who don't know how to use the data plans and never intend to. For them, the free Android upgrade offered by their carrier is just the latest feature phone.
iOS still has the largest App Store. Of greater significance, iOS doesn't support porn apps. There are bazillion porn apps available on Android so the disparity in apps between the platforms is even greater than what the raw numbers show.
iOS gets apps first. Nobody likes sloppy seconds.
iOS multi-touch features such as pinch to zoom, etc. have been proven to be defensible in court, and those features are either going to be remote wiped from Android phones, or those phones are suddenly going to be a lot more expensive.
Did someone mention the iPhone 5 is about twice as fast as the best Android phones available already?
Yeah, the list goes on, but why bother. Insecurities will abound.
Apple paid Anandtech, just like they paid the jury to get Samsung declared guilty. If they can afford a jury and judge, they can afford a little review.
First of all, Apple is such a devil, it's been paying more than a thousand engineers.
LOL. The pretty much sums it up right there. You couldn't answer a single one of those points. Any basic computer can do those things I mentioned, which is why the iphone isn't a smartphone. It a dumbphone with a crappy web browser built in. Hell, it took how many years just to get tabbed browsing? How about a simple thing, like 'find on page'? No? Ask yourself what even the most basic of functions are for a computer and you'll see just how woefully inadequate the iphone truly is. One day, you may wake up and actually realize how much you have been brainwashed to believe the crap Apple spews.
As for benchmark scores, my S3 easily beats those pcmag scores for the iphone 5, as does every S3 owners. There are tons of benchmarks out there showing this, and turn you have one benchmark from pcmag. It is funny how before this benchmark came out, all you iTards claimed specs didnt matter, it was the ecosystem, or the os, or cause Jobs said so. Now all of a sudden specs matter. Typical hypocritical nonsense from the iDiots.
I do get a good laugh out of the pathetic ramblings in here. You entertain me. Keep it up.
The GS2 Quad Core only manages to be 11% faster than the iPhone 5 in Geekbench. But it's clocked 40% faster. And it has 4 cores instead of 2. So please tell me what's so impressive about a processor that should be at least 100% faster but only manages to be 11% faster?
- Just a slight correction, something I understand you couldn't knew before:
iPhone is running on 1.3 GHz while running the Geek.
- Geekbench consists of multi-core tests and single-core tests so you cannot scale the tests between a quad-core and dual-core system in such a simple fashion.
- Also the clock speed alone is not scalable in a way you mention because of the number of instructions PER clock is different in iP5 and S3.
You are right that having a quad core is beneficial over a dual-core. But again the scalability would be linear (meaning double the speed) only if the rest of these systems were equal. Since they are not equal the scalability is not linear.

U mad about getting banned from Macrumors, bro? Continuing your terror campaign here?
Clearly your S3 can't make you that happy, because your bitterness is still shining on yet another Apple site.

Well if I am buying a phone to chop wood then I would most certainly go for iPhone 5

http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/26/apple-a6-cpu-13ghz-geekbench-confirmed-overclocking/
So S3 clock is about 8% faster.
- Geekbench consists of multi-core tests and single-core tests so you cannot scale the tests between a quad-core and dual-core system in such a simple fashion.
- Also the clock speed alone is not scalable in a way you mention because of the number of instructions PER clock is different in iP5 and S3.

Still, a result is a result.
