What does it mean for a smart phone to be "more powerful"? Makes for a better viewing experience of cat videos or porn?

My current iPhone X battery went tits up and was only 2 years old. $100 service charge. Not happy camper.

Sadly, LOL Cats are no longer being created.

I’m still using a 5s. The poor ghetto people will be owning those new phones. Somehow.

.....and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made...

On the other hand if you buy a new Apple TV HD $149 or

“Customers who purchase any new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac or iPod touch starting September 10 can enjoy one year of Apple TV+ for free. Beginning November 1, customers can initiate the one-year free offer in the Apple TV app on the device running the latest software.

Sadly, I can no longer find the old Gizmodo “iProduct” spoof from many years ago. Seems to have been scrubbed from the Internet. Hmmmm...

Try watching the announcement and you’d know. Faster processor than the already fastest processor in the phone industry, much faster than the already fastest graphics co-processors in the industry as well. Depending on which model iPhone 11, it adds one, four, or five hours more battery life on a charge. The iPhone 11 Pro Max has by far the best screen on any phone with a Super Retina Screen display with by far the brightest at 1200 NITS brightness.

The iPhone XS with the A12 Bionic Processor was already twice as fast as any Android phone on the market and this new iPhone 11 with the A13 Bionic processor is far faster than the A12.

The Apple iPhone 11’s Neural Engine can process at 1 Trillion decisions per second.

That’s what “more powerful” means.

And, no, Apple does not collect data on its customers. You are thinking of Google and Android, MrEdd.

Ignore strange phonecalls and just text your friends with blazing speed!.

It means you can talk 10 times faster. Read 100 times faster. Type 10,000 words a minute. Listen 1,000 times faster. View videos a million times faster. And get spied on a zillion times faster.

Plus, when you drop your phone, it hits the ground 20 times faster. And, it becomes obsolete 100 times faster, because, it doesn't come with 5G.

FWIW, you folks snarking at Apple’s prices should know that Samsung’s aren’t any lower.

[DAC21]

And a year from now the Apple Cultist will be beyond happy to be shelling out even more when the “fully” 5g capable iPhone XII will be out for $1400

I love how whenever these types of articles are posted here a majority of the comments are from luddites who feel the need to virtue-signal about how they still use smoke signals and soup cans to communicate and look down on those of us who embrace technology that makes our lives more efficient and productive.

[N. Theknow]

Forced into an iPhone because of pairing with new hearing aids.

It’s ok. Just wish I could edit content in Apple news screen as it is all liberal BS.
