| Chark said: Anyway, thanks for posting the specs. Just one concern, how is the battery life expected to be? Does that A15 take a lot of juice? Will the 2000mAh be enough to make it functional? The Vita has borderline issues with battery life with the 2200mAh, for a phone to have around the same issue... disastrous. You mention it could have better battery life than iPhone 4s (which was disappointing wasn't it?), I want to know how so? To really get the use out of the device you'd have to enjoy high demand programs, is the iPhone 5 looking like a short lived gaming device? I'm sure running idle it lasts all day or more, but what if I play a few hours of the latest graphics pusher? Also, is there and advantage or disadvantage to a dual core? |
Based on what Apple have said, it should be fine for battery life (well, average). Start intense gaming and it drops (3-4 hours for a game like Real Racing 3 is my guess) but considering most users only play Temple Run and Angry Birds I think it'll be fine for most users. It's actually better battery life than 4S apparently.
For a phone dual core is probably fine. I don't think many apps can take advantage of more than 2 cores and considering no iPhone has had more than 2 CPU cores then none of the app store apps are going to use more than that. It probably becomes couter productive with battery life.
