Dont' waste your time, this article is rife with speculation, all based off of a rumor that the new chip will be 7nm.

This. The article in 3 parts:

1. A clickbait title.

2. Real news from Mark Gurman out since a few days now.

3. Extensions of previous years changes ("the camera improved with the iPhone X which had a new processor, the camera might thus improve this year for the same reason!").

I hope at some point these chips make their way into an Apple laptop.

I think its only a matter of time before apple unveils what's basically high spec clamshell iPad pro and stops making new macbooks.

I thought the point of ipad was to ditch the clamshell design?

I disagree, I think they are doing a full about-face with these latest generation of garbage MBPs and I am hopeful for the refreshes. A lesson many will learn the hard way, eventually, is you don't scorn your power users because they are an endless source of evangelism and free marketing for your product.

Also... bad article if it’s meant to be hyping iPhone.

The worst scenario for Apple is if the CPU of the new phone is the “best feature”.

Phones are crazy fast right now. You know what they aren’t? Crazy though, crazy efficient, crazy helpful if you don’t want to be distracted, etc... phones are really stale.

Typed on an iPhone8 that I just can’t not tell the different between my older7 and was almost identical to my older iphone6.
