Talking about how expensive the phones have become lately, the max out specs on new iPhone 13 Pro Max costs $1,600 and if you add taxes it would be $1,760!
Your 10% sales tax is robbery. Where is that ?

I don't know to what extent the display itself needs to be different, but hopefully Apple planned ahead.
> Video of the monterey beta shows it works without being fullscreened. That is so confusing. Doesn't that mean you could create a malicious video which basically freezes the display for multiple seconds? And wouldn't your interface feel super laggy if it's reduced to something like 30fps? That's what most content is produced with, right?

There's a big difference between under-clocking phones with older batteries to prevent random shutoff, and what you're claiming.
And this is exactly where I feel HN had really gone downhill. The quality of the comments keeps decreasing. There’s plenty of technical information out there on the underclocking to prevent reboot issue, and years ago I would have expected this audience to be well versed in it before commenting. All good things just come to an end, I suppose. The question is where to go instead?
Marley suggesting something akin to planned obsolescence get hive mind downvoted. Yar har capitalism and apple.
Apple releases same product for years now, them having a strategy for x years forward is not outrageous claim
In general, I moved from Android to iPhone a couple of years ago and must say the battery on iPhone lasts so long compared to my old Android phone that there's no comparison really. Apple's work on iPhone battery management is impressive!
I don't want to question wether Apple's work on battery management is better than Google's, but want to outline the meta of such statements. In general, I don't think it's good to compare a new bought device with the device you are replacing, since the old device is probably a couple of years old. So the specs of the old one must be worse than the specs of the new one. Another example would be Tesla buyers who are re…

I've been running my M1-based MBP since April I've been able to use it for well over a full work day (on the order of 12+ hours) before dropping to 30% battery (from a full charge) And that includes 8+ hours of using VDI, streaming video from YouTube, random other web browsing, etc My iPhone 11 (if I'm not running some poorly-optimized games) will run for over 14 hours between charges of "constant" use (streaming aud…
> hard to believe that the two-generations-newer, more-efficient (and powerful) A15 + larger battery is not going to be more performant The last generation, 12, had less battery life than its predecessor :p

Nope - the 12 lasted better than the 11
