> 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.
