The iPhone 5 is twice as powerful as the iPhone 4S. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's more powerful than the Xbox 360. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6324/the

  "Twice as powerful" does not mean much - performance in game is a combination of several factors and a matter of consistency of the architecture, OS, libraries and so on. I have yet to see anything on iPhone close to what the Xbox 360 is capable of. And I am laughing at the claim just like I am laughing at the claims that the PS Vita is just as powerful as the PS3, for example: it's fairly obvious that a game like Uncharted, available on both machines, is way less detailed and less fluid and less post-processed than the PS3 version. You can give the illusion it's "almost just as good" but once you factor all the elements mobile games are just relying on small screens to hide a number of visual imperfections that would be obvious and dirty on larger ones.

    Ok I retract my claim. It's not as powerful as the 360, but I still find its graphics very impressive.
