That reminds me of the joke about the A7 in the iPhone being faster than the old PowerPC cores in the G5s, which wasn't the first time that a phone's processor beat an older laptop's, but the first time that the comparison was Apple's to Apple's. Terrible pun, but it happened in what, a 5 year span?
I play the same game, and I love it (no one ever believes me about it, either).
- shalmanese 13y agoThe equivalence I use now is that the iPhone 5s is roughly as fast as the first gen macbook air.

- fournm 13y agoAh, no, you're correct! I had originally misremembered the statement (going with G4 and laptop), and forgot to change the word laptop to desktop when I switched it to the G5. That was totally my bad.
