This sort of thing won't convince HNers or iOS Devs or other software devs who heavily use Mac hardware but it will convince tech journalists who aren't as tech savvy as they like to think they are who will spread the 'good news' to enthusiastic Apple buyers.
I recall a few years ago calling out a journalist on Twitter who openly stated he was getting a 8GB machine because Apple's new innovations means it was as good as 16GB.
- bombcar 3y agoI could see someone going from a 16gb x86 Mac to a 8gb M3 Mac feeling it was a great improvement. That still doesn’t make 8=16. Now if they had some argument based on system reports showing that RAM use excluding cache is below 8GB for x% of users, that would be a different thing.
