I just made a more expensive Android phone in my head, now this article is invalid. It's $100,000,000 if anyone wants to buy it. Samsung is the Apple of Android. Big marketing budget and bright screens to make you THINK quality.
Great, I’ve got $100,000,000, how do I buy that phone of yours?
Btw, I'm an electrical engineer specializing in embedded. Email me
Tell me when it can use that powerful processor to run an engine other than webkit

Use an enterprise cert.
And then what? Can one grab the source and compile chromium or firefox in such a way that it can use JIT and all the other things? Would that even be "supported" as a compile option or up-to-date branch? I thought PROT_EXEC was limited to Webkit.
Curious what the next steps may be / what details I'm unaware of
i don't care. what i care about is that the cheapest iPhone has a longer support period than the most expensive Android. it's actually insane and infuriating because I don't even like Apple but there literally is no other choice if you don't want to switch your phone every two years.
The cheapest iPhone is also as expensive as some mid-range Android devices and completely inaccessible to a large chunk of the world's population. When a device that most will spend $449 on is "cheap" you have to admire Apple's price anchoring[0], they release a $1249 flagship and suddenly what the largest iPhone 5S flagshp cost ($442.09 inflation adjusted to 2020) at launch is considered "cheap." It is undeniably a…
Author conveniently forgets to mention that the 865 has hands down better AI performance which is considered a key benchmark for high end devices. Multi-core perf is neck and neck.

I still can't get over the fact that apple is still putting in less than 2000hz batteries. Sure the life is great the first year, but as they make updates and increase the processor usage, suddenly that battery can barely last a day. I know people hate phablets, but if that gets me a 2 day battery life, so be it.
I do agree though that even with potential battery savings from the newer CPU architecture, it could be a problem in the latter half of the SE 2's life.
Serious question, has anyone installed Android on their iPhone? I love the idea of budget iPhone, but I hated iOS. Does it work as smooth as Pixel?
