The "super retina" designation doesn't refer to PPI, right? Seems like 458 isn't that much higher than past models, if at all. Is "super" just a reference to the increased color gamut and true tone functionality?
Does anyone have more information or insight into about Apple’s GPU design? The Apple A12 chip has 4 GPU cores vs. 3 cores in the A11, but GPUs from Nvidia have orders of magitude more (3584 CUDA cores for the GTX 1080 Ti, each of which can run 2048 threads). How do these numbers compare?
Anyway, no matter how you define a "core", GPU core counts don't matter except when comparing different SKUs of the same µarch.

- XS Max $1099

For people with aging parents that don't really use mobile phones, I could many watches purchased as safety devices. (Though the battery life doesn't make it ideal for th…

Yeah, agreed. I have never thought of buying an Apple Watch for myself or as a gift, but after seeing that, I would at least consider buying them for my mother and mother-in-law.
