An Osborne Executive portable computer, from 1982, with a Zilog Z80 4 MHz CPU, and a 2007 Apple iPhone with a 412 MHz ARM11 CPU; the Executive weighs 100 times as much, has nearly 500 times the volume, costs approximately 10 times as much (adjusted for inflation), and has about 1/100th the clock frequency of the smartphone.
Yeah, but let’s see that iPhone take a 5.25” floppy.
Great example Blam.
I mean it’s sort of a pain to think of an iPhone6 being out-moded now, but it is. The new iPhone 8s or Xs are amazing devices.
You almost have to feel sorry for the manufacturer having to take criticism because it has done an amazing job of improving the newer mobile phones so much.
250 gigabytes in your hand. Absolutely phenomenal.
The newer camera options, the facial recognition, the software that just keeps on coming.
I made a list of all the things the phone does, and it really is almost a miracle in your hand.
My hat is off to Apple.
Good thing we were strong in those days.
Having a computer "in your pocket" was science fiction.
