As for a 50% faster chip, how does that extra cost translate into value for a guy who utilizes the phone basically for calls, text messages, and internet? Now that is the true consumer benchmark;)
That’s always my issue as well. The iPhone is the most over engineered piece of hardware on the planet.
The average user would see far more vale in another 128 gigs of memory than a new chip.
The only reason we upgraded was 16 gigs of memory has been made woefully obsolete with many new apps moving close to the GB size range.
So I have a phone now more powerful than my 5 year old gaming PC but I can’t type on it or view details. So why do I care about chip performance?
