As long as it doesn't want to become a Galaxy Note 7 I'm fine with that.

Re: Users report iPhone 15 is overheating
#62Apple has put such an emphasis on increasing the performance of their mobile chips and honestly I just don’t know why at this point. I don’t need nor want to play Resident Evil 4 Remake on my phone. I much rather have more battery life. With that said I suspect this is probably a software issue and can probably be resolved with an update.
I suspect they are trying to compete in the console market without having a console per se. AFAIK the iPhone 15 Pro has 1/3rd of the TFLOPs of the Playstation 5. They also have a smooth TV-connectivity system.
Most people who have consoles in the US already have an iPhone in their pocket. Now you just need a controller, some kind of dock for the phone, and pay off a lot of devs to make games for the platform to get the ball rolling.
This aligns with the new changes on Mac OS and IOS and the Metal API: https://developer.apple.com/metal/

#6313 was solid AIUI, 14 had and still has battery issues and 15 runs hot and possibly battery issues too? Let’s play iPhone defect excuse bingo: - it’s just indexing data it will be ok after a week/month.
Why a bunch of software folks think “eh, it’s just indexing” is reasonable fills me with dread. It’s almost if “indexing” is some excuse to do whatever the hell you want with the hardware in question. This isn’t beyond the realm of engineering to fix if it is the issue. Stop holding it wrong, folks.

Increased performance in case of this architecture style actually contributes to better battery life. The faster any one operation can finish, the faster the whole core can go back to sleep - remember, just idling has a very significant energy drain.
It seems that in this case the performance per watt is essentially the same. There is no point in rushing to sleep if perf per watt is constant, you will only end up giving the chip a higher amperage and loosing even more to heat in the power delivery (internal battery resistance, traces and power supply). The slower cooler phone will perform as well and also deliver better sustained performance over time as the peak burst current of the battery decreases.

On the hand, I agree. But on the other hand, I love the innovation here, because it could lead us to a day where your phone is your computer. Plug it into a keyboard and monitor and get to work.
I'm still waiting for the day when my phone just "slots" into a dock on my desktop, and all the apps will "automagically" transform into desktop apps with keyboard/mouse shortcuts. Not just talking scaling to whatever, or running a phone app on my laptop, but a complete "reskin" of the application for environment that is currently executing it. If we're talking Word, i want the mobile word experience on my phone, but…
yeah I mean the 15 pro max 1TB costs as much as a laptop so.. it should slot in with a keyboard and mouse.

People keep foisting DEX forward as a reason why convergence isn't demanded by the market. But, demand is created by early adopters (the people here), and those people don't use DEX because they don't use Samsung, due to Samsung being considered janky-to-insecure, depending on who you ask.
Samsung is the Android market leader.
Body count means what, in a market like ours?
Marketing budget? Good distribution?
What technology-related point are you making?

> due to Samsung being considered janky-to-insecure, depending on who you ask If you ask a member of the Church of Apple, yes, you'll get that answer. Ask any heretic and they'll give different answers ranging from 'I want to keep things separate so I don't flush my PC down the loo next time I forget to take it out of my back pocket' to 'I want to keep my PC personal and don't trust ${vendor} to abide by that promise…
Samsung's particular flavor of Android is not "Android".
