Now, he claims she has an iPhone 4, which she updated to iOS 7, which causes it to run slowly. The problem with lying, Nashton, is that it is difficult to keep your stories straight. As you keep showing, again and again.

I believe, Fritzy, that even if I were lying, which I am not (feel free to believe whatever you want), the 4s runs slower on iOS7. Do keep up. The 5s has much better specs. Even a dope like you can understand that a newer OS will run slower on older hardware.

Snit
A new OS will run slower on older (slower) hardware than the same OS on newer hardware, but that does not mean a newer OS will run slower than an older OS on the same hardware. Does not mean it will not, either... but your logic is flawed.

From the benchmarks iOS7 was faster when it came to browser+javascript, disk and memory. But iOS6 was faster in raw CPU and the graphics benchmarks.

There: evidence. Not just blanket claims which are naïve at best. Thank you.

The wife and kids are gone away for vacation for a few days. So after golf this afternoon I decided to surprise the wife by stopping by the mall on my way home and I picked up a iPhone 5c for her (white 32G). For whatever reason she likes the "5c" better than the "5s" so that's what I got her.

She's definitely not a power-user by any stretch of the imagination but she's starting to take a *lot* of pictures with her phone. So I got it primarily for the better camera but I'm sure that the faster speed isn't going to hurt either. It'll be interesting to play around with it and see how the faster processor does.

I do not take a lot of pics but since I have my iPod with me much of the time I am beginning to take more.

I built one of the best digital photo frames I've ever seen and that runs 18 hours/day displaying all the photos I've taken. I sync'd up her iPhone and iPad using the iCloud Photostream. I also created a VM that connects to her photostream which automatically copies the pictures she takes to the photo frame. So once she takes some pictures, they'll automatically display on the digital pic frame later that day. She really liked that so now she's taking more pictures than ever.

Outside it is a decent camera - and it is an older model. With inside lighting it sorta sucks. So be it... not the main reason I got it anyway.

The tiny lens can only capture so much light. Some models have a flash but it's pretty weak and has a limited range. It's not a great substitute for a real camera but if you're outside or in bright light it can take some pretty good photos. It's infinitely better of having no camera and completely missing the shot.

-- Claim: "(iOS) is A POS that needs over 8 GB of RAM."

Proof: "iPhone is available in 8GB and 16GB models at Apple Retail Stores, AT&T Stores or online from AT&T."

A Linux "advocate" that's too stupid to know the difference between RAM and storage. Message-ID: <gprqmf$f87$1@news.albasani.net>
