Totally get this from a business perspective but speaking for myself, I was actually far more interested in seeing the new chip in the iPad. I have no doubt that the iPhone 12 will be another confident black rectangle. Having usb c and the stronger processor work its way down the price points was far more exciting of an announcement for me. I don’t really ever find myself yearning for a stronger CPU on my iPhone XR but if Apple is serious about replacing PCs with iPads, it seems like having strong chips in their cheaper models is a great position to fight from.
- nicoburns 6y agoIt's the mac chips I'm really interested in seeing. That's the unknown quantity.
- josephg 6y agoLikewise. I'm still rocking a 2016 13" macbook pro with a dual core CPU and integrated graphics. I'm looking at picking up this year's iphone, and it might be faster in every way than my laptop. (But with less RAM and storage) If true, I'm not really sure what to do about that. I doubt I can offload rust compilation to an iphone.
- nicoburns 6y agoYeah, I have the 2015. You can actual compile Rust on an iphone (but I think you'd have to sync the code thei manually), but I think for Rust you really want one the AMD processsors with 8+ cores. I guess the new macbooks might be able to compete. We'll have to see.
