I dunno he kind of lost me when he was promoting Louis CKs comedy last week. CK admitted to some pretty bad behavior and supporting him without more than his half apology is pretty sad to see.

What does that have to do with the iPhone ️?

Those benchmarks are impressive. iPhone SE beating the 2019 MBP in single core performance? That's fantastic!

I wish I could comment on or know what he was talking about with the iPhone X vs "old iPhone" interaction paradigm. I personally thought the "single button" hardware interface was an incredible innovation that changed everything. Even Android relies on it. My Galaxy S9+ has a "software home button" (like most Androids do) in place of the iPhone's. I'll have to find a friend with an iPhone X or later to try the new swipe up gestures and see if they are indeed better.

Fun fact: iPhone's buttons are not mechanical buttons starting with iPhone 7. The click you feel when you press it is just the taptic engine.

If you have an iPhone 7 or 8, try turning it off and try to press the button.

You can also adjust the "clickiness" of the button from your phone settings, which is amazing.

This is exactly the phone my wife wants to upgrade from her showing-its-age, 5-year-old 6S. It'll fit into her existing case. It's not too big. It's affordable. It still has a home button.

She's hardly a power user, so this might be the one phone she gets for the next five year, too.

> a $400 iPhone SE bests a

> $3,000 top-of-the-line

> MacBook Pro in single-core

> CPU performance.

Whenever I see these sorts of benchmarks, it just makes me focus on how much iOS is the limiting factor of these devices.
