The screen is beautiful. The two cameras are a clever trick that I hope work as well as advertised -- and their cameras have been historically very good. Splash resistance is overdue, but appreciated.
But A10 is a bit of a disappointment [1][2], only as powerful as the A9X. Do they have any new hardware encode/decode blocks at least?
With A9 they were having yield issues and had to different traces being manufactured by two different fabs to enhance capacity. What do we know on the chip front?

- srikz 10y agodamn! here I was thinking that A10 is a big jump. I guess A10X Fusion will be a hell of a chip in the next iPads.
- frankchn 10y agoRumors say TSMC is manufacturing most/all of the A10s on their 16nm process [1]. [1]: http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/07/11/apple-chip-builder-tsmc-expected-to-see-record-q3-on-a10-chips http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/07/11/apple-chip-builder...
- Synaesthesia 10y agoA9 is amazingly fast - benches like twice as fast as every other phone out there. With Apple's great SSD it's a pretty powerful package for a phone. Instead they have lower power consumption now which I think is a fair call.
- Brakenshire 10y agoA9X has a far higher thermal envelope than a smartphone processor, if the A10 is as powerful I'd say that's very impressive.
