>Faster performance today means longer lasting tomorrow.
only if CPU performance plateaus in future generations. as long as new phones keep having drastically better performance, apps will keep updating to use it.
- mmcnl 4y agoThat's precisely what is meant right? If the phone is faster today, there is more headroom to accommodate for future increased hardware requirements.
- notatoad 4y agobut if the phone is faster today, apps will start building features to use that CPU today. when the next phone comes out with a faster processor, you're still going to be behind the curve. maybe less relevant in android, where phones generally have a wide spread of capabilities. but in iphone land, where most people are on the two most recent generations, you're always going to find developers assuming you have more processing power than you actually do if you're not on the latest generation.
