subject: iphone overclock [print this page] iphone overclock iphone overclock
Is there any way of overclocking iphone. Any such applications are available? I was curious about this as i would like to develop some game applications for my iphone and was wondering if i could increase the processor speed to some extent, then my work would become easie my Overclocking & Computer Modification
Even if there exist any such thing, i feel like there is no need of it in cell phones, be it iphone. Like PCs that requires a lot of power for various applications running simultaneously or for playing high definitions video or 3D games, there is none of this in a phone so no point of overclocking iphone. my Overclocking & Computer Modification
There aresome very ill informed opinions circulating on this thread. I signed up to this forum to set a few points straight.
Firstly: of course mobile phones can be overclocked. I ran my previous Windows mobile handset substantially overclocked 24-7 for over a year before replacing it with an iphone. I won't discuss the methods by which one may overclock a mobile phone; if you are lacking the faculties to use Google to find your answer, then you are ill advised to be fiddling with your phone's clock rate. Needless to say, if you want to make fundamental changes to your iphone, jailbreaking is a pre-requisite. If you have not done so already, then you may wish to start by looking here.
My second point: mobile phone processors (typically a varient of the ARM) are often, indeed usually, shipped *underclocked*. The reason for doing this has little or nothing to do with heat dissapation, mobile phones are very low power devices and output very little heat. Underclocking processors reduces power consumption drastically, allowing manufacturers to achieve acceptible levels of battery life at the cost of performance.
Last: what is this nonsense some members are talking about 'charging an iphone' at 110V/230V? The voltage applied is entirely indepentant of the AC outlet voltage available, and the charging current draw is no more than a few hundred milliamps, which can be capably provided by even a very moderate transformer.!
I wouldn't say about over clocking an iphone or any other mobile phones, but don't talk crap, The charging is only done at some miliamps as said by LjpGT. The volts remain the same no matter what your AC power is.
