I did some measuring. \u00a0As best I can tell, the Magpul case on the iPhone 5 gives me a package that is almost identical to the Moto X or Moto G on every axis – height and weight are within a tenth of an inch, max thickness is within a couple hundredths<\/em> of an inch (to the Moto X\u2019s benefit!) and the weight of the cased iPhone is heavier than either Moto.<\/p>\n

So in basically the same size package, the Moto X has upped the screen size from 4″ to 4.75\u201d and added a battery with 50% greater capacity. \u00a0And the Moto G is sporting a 4.5\u201d display with the same pixels per inch and a battery only somewhat less capacious than the X.<\/p>\n

Much as the Nexus One threw down the gauntlet to the iPhone 3GS, the Moto X and G are doing the same to the iPhone 5. \u00a0Sure, the 5S has the TouchID and the first effort at a co-processor for battery purposes, but Motorola\u2019s gone not that much larger and stuffed half again as much battery into the package for their trouble – and battery, as I frequently insist, is THE defining measurement of a modern phone. \u00a0And both the Moto phones are breakthroughs – the X for providing the best Android experience yet and the most innovation on UI, the G for delivering a modern unlocked phone for half the price normally expected of such a device.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not on contract right now.<\/p>\n
