Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / December 2007Apple slowly bumping up the speed on iPhones?
With the new 1.1.2 firmware many users reported that their iPhones 'felt a little snappier'. This could be in part due to the fact that with the 1.1.2 firmware the processor is actually being used at a slightly higher speed. iPhones ship with a 624mz processor, but originally Apple capped them at 400mz for typical use to help enhance the battery life. With 1.1.2 that's been bumped up to 412. While this may not be major news right now, it does hint that Apple may have more features planned which require the additional horsepower. Another side of the coin may be that as Apple continues to refine the iPhone code base and make various functions more efficient they can ramp up the processor without adversely affecting battery life. Whatever the cause we can hopefully look forward to seeing our iPhones get faster and faster with each coming software update. --- > With the new 1.1.2 firmware many users reported that their iPhones > 'felt a little snappier'.

The iPhone Chess game is downright unnerving with the other side making a move in the blink of an eye just after you complete your move. If you blink, you will fail to even see the iPhone's move as it happens. 4phun <vic.healey@gmail.com> wrote in news:8d970ac5-5596-416a-bfee- 0c29081befa9@i3g2000hsf.googlegroups.com: > With the new 1.1.2 firmware many users reported that their iPhones > 'felt a little snappier'.

Oh, no, that only happens in mere mortal computers. iPhones can run for weeks at 12, even 14 Ghz, with the display full bright on a 300ma battery pack. It's part of the Apple Perpetual iMotion Device in every iPhone. The new model will not even require charging! You'll be able to crank your SUV off its surplus power, if your SUV battery goes dead! version 1.2.1, coming out in another few weeks, will turn the iPhone into a whole-house power plant! Utility companies are terrified, stock dropping....

This has been going on with Macintosh users since day 1. "Oh, look--I just went from System 6.0.7 to System 6.0.8, and my system is SO MUCH FASTER and MORE STABLE! It's INCREDIBLE!" People want to think they got something for their efforts, so they imagine things that just aren't true. "Elmo P.

MAC OS-X is much faster than the Apple 2 was..... They been gettin' better'n better!

Agreed, but it's not exclusive to Apple devotees. Everytime a new ROM is released for a WinMo phone, posters on XDA-developers and Howard Forums make equally ludicrous claims of phones seeming "twice as fast" or battery life lasting "twice as long." > With the new 1.1.2 firmware many users reported that their iPhones > 'felt a little snappier'.

The battery life on my iPhone is far better than my Treo ever was. I charge about once every 3 days.

But real world use is about a day, day and a half. I've played with a friends for a weekend and starting at a full charge talked about 1 hour, with Bluetooth on for that hour call. Surf over the painful slow edge connection and the battery was showing one bar left. 3 days on standby, yes. using the other functions, not going to happen. Sad part of not letting the user swap the battery has the user watching the battery more and more. Will I have enough to last and If so, how long ? Can I make it thru the day ? All of which could have been avoided if apple were to have allowed the user to change the battery on his own. > All of which could have been avoided if apple were > to have allowed the user to change the battery on his own. Being designed for the most incredibly stupid amoungst us, they left out many tasks it was determined were too complex for "web appliance users" to accomplish, without driiving tech support bananas, such as changing batteries, memory cards, plugging and unplugging external data gadgets, or pairing useful bluettooth devices like the external keyboard I'm typing this message on from my Nokia BT keyboard, paired with the n800 Linux tablet bluetoothed to my MotoROKR SELLphone to the home XP box via another omitted feature, installable free software, rdesktop. Same reason disposable flashlights were invented...(c;) Larry Signaturehttp://kitco.com/charts/livegold.html 9-11-2001 gold was $270/oz TODAY its $838/oz, up $40 since Christmas, up $11 just TODAY! 1yearchg +204.60 +32.26% When does a "slide" become a "crash"? > Being designed for the most incredibly stupid amoungst us People who like things to work without spending all their time troubleshooting and finding third party software that doesn't crash the unit?

One can only imagine what Larry's refrigerator looks like, and how much time he has to devote to keeping it running. In fact, I wonder how he has any time to read news at all... > Sad part of not letting the user swap the battery has the user watching > the battery more and more.

Sad part is, Apple didn't deploy an iCharger function to charge (pardon the pun) users to charge the phone on their own. |
