Depends on the customer. If you're planning on keeping it for five years, you'd like it to last the time. If you're planning on replacing it when the new one comes out next year, you'd rather it got maximal performance during that year. What it comes down to is which customer apple wants to cater to which is fairly obviously the latter.
- greedo 9y agoKeeping a phone for five years isn't something I'd want considering the rate of performance improvement. A five year old iPhone would be an iPhone 5. The improvements in CPU/GPU since then are fairly astounding. Going from an A6 dual-core at 1.3GHz to an A11 six-core at 2.39GHz is just nuts. One is 32nm, the other 10nm. Smartphones are the one area in computing that seem to still be having huge jumps in performance compared to desktop/laptop computers.
