Well, that’s a bummer, but it will be interesting to see how it stacks up on day-to-day usage.
It’s not that the folks on the base M3 are going to stress out the machine with high computation tasks, but the Pro and Max surely will have enough people talking about synthetic benchmarks vs real benchmarks to see what optimizations Apple made that and are not paying off.
Dunno about that. Last time I checked it would depend also on the volume. How much would cost this FPGA alone around 1000 units.
Didn’t know about that. Any way, I don’t think I’m the target audience for this device.

Given it’s very niche and doesn’t play ROMs, I guess $200.
Seems like a NOPE for anyone who only has an iPhone, but if you’re deep into Apple ecosystem with a Mac or an iPad, it seems reasonable if it becomes available in all of your devices and your save data is synced across devices, but if not, then it’s a bad deal no matter how you put it. Imagine running it on the AppleTV.
Honestly I don’t think you’re gonna drive users with a console to buy it again if it looks the same or worse.
I think this kind of first releases is a wait-and-see. If it’s performance is on par with consoles, and there is sync saves, it may be an excellent deal.
It’s not that you can buy RE4 on Xbox and play it on PC too with a single purchase, can you?
My only explanation is that the ProMotion, hence the GPU, decided to consume more. It’s evident on how YouTube and the games depleted 30% of the battery while the iPhone 15 Plus was just chill.
And that seems like a problem on both Pro Max. Videos and Games on 120Hz means low battery life. I wonder how it would have lasted ProMotion was disabled and keep the brightened at the same nits.
I wonder how it would have lasted.
From the comments and the graphics, it seems it’s not the legacy version anymore. My bet is that will be the current version (FIFA 23) optimized rather than the new one (FC 24).
I’m sure there will be concessions somewhere. It’s a 2010 phone hardware we’re talking about. Unless this is for the Switch 2.
I honestly think this sounds legit but only as an R&D. I doubt someone would travel outside HQ with a prototype that didn’t make the cut.
If they do they become the undisputed king of portability.
It baffles me why Apple didn’t push more proactively sharing cellular over their devices, but it always seemed that it was because of cellular models or cellular companies pressure.
I’m still waiting for the moment you can use cellular as a WiFi backup in a laptop without having to push a button.
