Hi,
I'm sorry to go back to the A6 thing, but I never got a chance to respond to it. The CPU itself is dual core, with the GPU being the quad core part. It's just like the A5X found in the new iPad, but with a faster clock speed.

Here, NFC is used on our busses, and to pay for a bunch of things.

I believe APple is banking on the fact there is a wider use of barcodes which would be a very smart move. You can do quite a lot with just barcodes and not include a NFC chip.

It seems that with every release of a new iPhone a certain group of people (and I don't necessarily mean just people on this list) complain and say it's disappointing etc. When the 4S came out it was the same, a lot of people were disappointed it wasn't called the iPhone 5 as if the name matters and so on. I actually think it would have been smart of Apple to just call it "the new iPhone", after all, a MacBook Pro or an iMac doesn't have a model number. Compared to a 4S the iPhone 5 is maybe not quite as big an update as the 4S was from the 4, but of course for the many people who are on a 4 or even 3GS it's huge and who says it has to be this incredible new innovation every year, it's not as if anybody's life and happiness depends on the fact that they buy a new iPhone every year; at least it shouldn't depend on that, if it does maybe you need to spend money on a shrink instead of a new iPhone. I heard a lot of disappointment that there is no NFC, but I think Apple may feel NFC it's just not the thing and they certainly don't adopt something if they don't believe in it or if they think the time isn't right.
