According to wikipedia the processors that PA Semi make are not used in any of Apple's current devices. Which would be part of the reason I'd never heard of that. The A6 chip is designed and manufactured by Samsung. Apple may have had a hand in encouraging them to go 64bit on something that uses a GB of memory, because why else would Samsung do that. But that doesn't exactly count.
It is not much faster because the amount of memory is not enough to make the technology really useful. The technology uses more memory than 32bit. Many tests have been conducted on this kind of thing 64bit isn't new. It has been shown that using less than 4GB of memory with a 64bit processor can often result in slower speeds.
Let alone like I mentioned that all the 32bit apps now have to run on top of another layer in the OS. And, apps that take advantage of 64bit will either not run on any other device, or they will have separate versions for 64bit and 32bit. Or they will simply be 32bit.
Which will I would imagine be the case for at least a little while.
I was referring to the Nexus 4 in my price comparison. A phone which is in the process of being replaced with a new version very soon. It's a good phone.
More pixels my eye can't see at what distance? It's a handheld device I'll hold it at whatever distance I want to. 720p is a reasonable resolution to expect. This isn't 2010 anymore.
Are my criticisms really that unreasonable?
- acchow 13y ago> According to wikipedia the processors that PA Semi make are not used in any of Apple's current devices. This is misleading. PA Semi used to make Power chips. Apple uses only ARM and x86 now, so of course anything from PA Semi isn't in any apple products. But, we won't hear any announcements about PA semi's work anymore since PA Semi has stopped its Power business and its 150 employees were subsumed into Apple. Apple claims to have designed the custom ARM chips in their iDevices. You think they are lying about that? They certainly have the engineering power to do it... > I was referring to the Nexus 4 in my price comparison. A phone which is in the process of being replaced with a new version very soon. It's a good phone. Yes, the Nexus 4 is a good phone. It's not a "great" phone. The camera quality is terrible; when you put it face down on a table the ringer is mostly inaudible; the battery life leaves much to be desired; speaker quality is bad; no LTE; etc. It doesn't compete with the high end smartphones, and it's priced accordingly. > Are my criticisms really that unreasonable? I believe your criticisms are based upon inaccurate assumptions. Please check your facts.
- Kequc 13y agoI now resign myself from speaking to Apple people anymore I am just way too busy for this crap. Check my facts check this.
- smith7018 13y agoWhat a cop out answer. You seriously just said you won't converse with Apple users because they'll actually check your facts for truth.
- acchow 13y ago> I now resign myself from speaking to Apple people I'm actually an ex-googler and have been using Android as my daily carry for over a year. Not sure what this discussion has anything to do with possibly being a member of some nebulous "Apple people" group.
