I know battery life is a consideration in what to add or not add to iPhone 5. Given that both 4G and dual core eat battery, which would you think is more important to have in the iphone 5?
4G isn't widely available yet, plus I'm sure AT&T will screw the hell outta iPhone users on 4G plans. Dual-core improves battery life, not hurts it.
I'd bet on dual-core over "4G" easily.
You got that backwards. How is more processing speed save you battery?

Given the new tethering options, I'm committed to getting a 4G phone for my iPad and laptop. Wanted to know what other users are thinking.
Maybe it's the same answer, but my question was whether it would be more desirable (for the user) to have 4G vs. dual core? Clearly, there will be more users capable of using dual core than 4G, but that wasn't the question. My goal isn't improving Apple's bottom line.
Given that Verizon covers 110 million with 4G right now and that they are planning 147 cities by year end, I'd say a good chunk of the U.S.'s 300 million would be covered.
As for dual core improving battery, I'm not reading that from the evidence offered. I'm reading that power management and separation of processing allows better power management from dual core than a similarly configured single core. However, I'm not reading that the addition of more processors is yielding more battery life and I'm certainly not reading that adding faster processors is yielding more battery life.
I can almost guarantee it won't be LTE. I am hoping dual-core is on it, but not needed.
