Do they actually do that though? Feels like BOM reduction exercises like removing the short power cable from their $3000 laptops and headphone dongles from their $1000 phone, laptops still shipping with painfully low space that triggers space warnings on their OS after you add just a few files to them (complete nightmare if you work at a company that cheaps out on laptops).
Feels like the user experience is actually secondary to maximizing ASP and minimizing BOM.
- noir_lord 8y agoAgreed, GF has an iphone 8. I have a Nokia 6.1 (the black copper one). Side by side if I knew nothing about either I'd be hard pressed to tell which was the 800 quid phone and which was the 200 quid phone. Throw in AndroidOne and recent Android and the experience is largely similar, I mean sure the processor in hers would murder mine in a benchmark but in real world use do I ever care about it, they feel equally fast on a human time scale (and I have a better adblocker). There was a time that putting an iphone next to a 200 quid phone would have been a laughable comparison not so much anymore.
