    That's kinda what I was thinking.
    I'm hoping anyway that iPad 2 will handle rear view, rear reflections and some aa.
    I am curious to see what iPhone 4s will handle because that will indicate the new iPod touch (5th) effects.
    I will have the 5 in hand by the time this arrives so I will be covered on seeing it at its best. But I do hope the iPad 2 doesn't lose too much.

    Wait the iPhone 4s can handle it I'm sure the A5 not that far off from the A6 (like the A4 which is 7X slow at graphics than the A5 the A6 is only 2X better at graphics than the A5 its not a giant leap like the A4 vs A5 it is a leap in graphics power but I was hoping the A6 would of been like 6X or 7X faster than the A5 I think I will stay with an iPhone 4s in tell a quad core phone comes out by appl or maybe will get the iPhone 5 )

    I was hoping for the same kind of chip upgrade myself (quad core CPU), basically same as what you said.
    It's too late though. I've sold my 4s and will have the 5 next week. Luckily it's only a one year contract so can do same thing next year if quad core arrives.
    Or just buy a new newer iPad (4) in march ish.

    I am definitely curious to see what, or if there are any, differences between RR3 on a 4s and a 5. I can see that the quad cores on the gpu on a 5 will have a definite advantage along with the ram increase.

    My only real concern was with the iPad 2 versus 3. But then again the gpu on the 3 is necessary to push for the retina screen. So other than retina I can't see there being too much difference between the effects on them.
    Because its Real Racing, if there did turn out to be a big difference, I'd just have to get the iPad 3 rather than wait for the 4.

    You can move the camera while racing like in an iOS FPS........just my guess ;)

    That's the thing the 5 is not quad core according to apple them selfs it's only a more powerful duel core. Although I could be wrong and mistaken it

    I think you're right. No one knows for sure yet.
    But the general consensus is dual core CPU, quad core GPU and arm cortex a15 architecture.
    I'm sure the ifixit tear down will tell us a lot.
    As long as ram is 1gb, I won't really care too much.

    I'm honestly suspecting a dual core gpu. If it was quad core wouldn't apple've made a huge deal about it like they did with the new iPad? (which honestly was pretty misleading considering the incredibly irritating retina res for 3d gaming)

    As for the ram count I think it could go either way. It's about time for a bump, but knowing apple they might've just decided to wait another year.

    To sum up this problem I believe the iPhone 5 will not have full graphic optimization for a while...why.. Well first off its not out get so developers don't know what they can do to optimize it graphically

    Developers like Firemonkeys will get the newer hardware long before public release from Apple. So yes I would think the game has been optimised for the iPhone 5.

    Major developers get early versions of devices or semi supervised access to prototypes in order to maximise their product on the device and to reflect the devices capabilities.
    How do you think Firmonkeys, while on stage at the iPhone 5 launch with the game running on an iPhone 5 were able to do this if they didn't have pre release access to it? They even released a screenshot at the same time of what it looks like with the 5's larger screen.
    Optimisation for new hardware won't be a problem here.

    Of course not all developers get that kind of access to pre release devices, but some of the important ones do.

    The dev diary shows up that there is some amount of detail going into the cars and the visuals.
    This game is looking better and better.
    Might need to get an iPad 3 after all.

    Off topic: ipads A5X vs iPhone A6 . Dule core vs quad core... Wouldn't the A5X be more powerful A6 or the same in GPU if developer don't use full retina display on the new iPad.

    If the dev doesn't use full retina and just uses 720p with some AA (which is what I wish every dev of non 2D games would do) then I would suspect they are around equal purely graphically speaking, maybe the iPad a tad ahead with the quad core gpu. However, the iPhone has the superior CPU, so loading times will be quicker. That said, the CPU is largely irrelevant for gaming. The RAM and the GPU is what matters.

    Well to be fair, android phones have 2 gig of ram. But ram doesn't mean much unless you like having lots of stuff open at once. Or if you have any ultra demanding games which don't exist yet.
