The iphone’s hardware is commodity or worse—they give you basically no choice for form factor or functionality beyond the disk size. You buy it for the software

- dodobirdlord 7y ago> The iphone’s hardware is commodity or worse The iphone has the best mobile processing chips and it's not even close. The intel modems they use are inferior to qualcomm's modems, but "commodity or worse" is a bizarre take.

- SomeOldThrow 7y agoBetter in a very limited sense. It’s a smartphone. Nobody cares about the chips. Everyone makes the same phone: screen, battery, antenna, camera. When it dies you buy another that is mostly the same. You’re browsing the web and taking photos; why would you care about who manufactured the cpu? Software, brand, and culture play much larger roles than a milquetoast smartphone offering. What’s this chip that customers are raving about? The only points of continually tweaking the hardware are to shorten the lifespan and remove the ability to customize and repair it with any real scale.
