1.) The previous connector plug had been around ... 9 years. The new connector is smaller, thinner and thus takes up less space in the iPhone. ...
which is what makes it a beautiful example of Apple's profiteering:- the Micro USB connector is a standard off-the-shelf connector that you can readily buy supplies for at affordable prices, and most of us already have stocks of in the office, at home, in the car and wherever else we need to plug in to recharge or synchronise data
oh,
excuse me Apple crowd,
Apple's special connector does something nobody else's connector does, doesn't it?? Of course it does: by design!
PS I didn't know about the A6 benchmarks, that's certainly interesting and I'll watch out for that in the press.
But, I have to admit I am scratching my head a bit -
- if it's double the speed of the Galaxy S3, why didn't the launch lead with specific metrics about its speed and the improved user experience it creates, instead of talking about the slightly bigger screen, slightly thinner body, and the other small changes? I mean, Samsung haven't held back from promoting performance in their communications, so it's clearly something the market is responding to.
Or am I missing something?
