Apple iPhone 5 To Flaunt New A8 Processor

An anonymous reader writes "The release of iOS 4.3 beta for developers has revealed updates to gesture-based navigation, AirPlay and Personal Hot Spot in the next edition of iPad and iPhone. However, not all changes are UI-related; it is reported that Apple is due to add an ARM Cortex A8 processor to its iPhone 5. Apple Daily, a Hong Kong-based newspaper, reported that Apple's iPhone 5 will be powered by a dual core processor with SGX543 graphics. It is reported that Apple is in contact with a Taiwanese component maker for the A8 SoC. Currently Apple uses a custom made A4 SoC in its iPad and iPhone 4 and uses SGX535 graphics and video support."

By that time, Android v17.0 should also be out, possibly also running graphically smooth instead of jerky, laggy and stuttering.

You sure told that guy..

I admire the way you sensed a threat to Apple's reputation and sprang into action. Showed them that criticism of Apple will be met with swift retaliation. Let them know that Apple Nation is NOT to be trifled with.

Well done. The folks at Apple can sleep well tonight knowing that you are awake.
