AR uses all the power it can get. On-device ML becomes possible and practical. On top of that, the A series processors are also getting more energy efficient, so longer battery life.
I can't believe people are still making "640K should be enough for anyone" arguments after watching decades of waves of innovation crash over them.
- ac29 9y agoI dont think a 20% performance difference is going to make people jump from Android to iOS or vice versa. That's solidly in the "only detectable by benchmarks" range. I've personally moved to a ~3 year upgrade cycle, primarily driven by software support. I think I could happily use a smartphone for 5 years if I didn't care about having full support for the latest software.
- huebnerob 9y agoWho's taking about switching? The question was whether YOY increases in performance still matter. I don't know about Android, but on iOS I see developers consistently rise to the challenge of a bigger performance envelope every year with new and innovative use cases. If that's something you don't care about, fine, but that doesn't mean the whole industry finds it pointless.
