According to this: http://results.rightware.com/b...

The iPhone 5S, with a dual core 1.3Ghz, is performing comparably to 2.3 Ghz quad cores, coming in at #8.

Can you imagine what the phone market would be like if Apple decided to say "eff the lot of you" and doubled their clock speed and then double the number of cores...?

All of a sudden, that 1019 will turn into 4000. Wonder how the other phones will even try to keep up...?

Seeing that the iPhone 4S runs iOS 8, and iOS 9 will be out next year, this means the iPhone 4S will have 4 years of iOS updates.

iPhone 5S is one year old, and based on track record, will be running iOS 10 fine.

How do you propose they force the 5S into obsolescence faster?

As opposed to Android phones, half of which are sold pre-obsolescenced? How many Android phones are running 4.4 again, and why are there still Android phones sold today that is running 2.x?
