That's last year's iPhone. Didn't the performance double this year?

It looks like we might get a doubling of performance every year. With Android vs iOS vs Microsoft, consumers should be in for quite a treat.

Looks like the A7 gpu is coming in at 115.2 glops... so yeah... getting close. That's pretty awesome.

That's not that awesome, that's a brand new chip vs a 7 year old console chip. And not even the whole chip, just the performance of the GPU.
Which is running on in the palm of your hand, on battery power.. How is that not awesome?
The horsepower-per-pixel of a 5s is a close match to an Xbox360 game that insists on running at full 1080p. http://timothylottes.blogspot.com/2013/09/a7.html
