I dislike iOS for other reasons but you can use a custom DNS to block trackers and ads on both though. It will work equally fine as it does on Android, basically almost no ads anywhere including browser(s).

Can't block ads on IOS, so point is kinda moot. What, I'm gonna choose a phone that serves me up ads faster? And pay $1500+ for it? No Thanks. Stick with my Android+Firefox and yearly costs of ~$200 (sell last year's model, buy new this year on Black Friday) rinse & repeat.

Quote from: Randy chan on August 13, 2023, 03:14:57This proves Apple made the right decision to buy up all of TSMC's 3 nm process thus leaving none for the competition. The upcoming A17 bionic and M3 chips with the 3nm process will easily overpower their competition. And with Apple's relentless pursuit of perfection and being number 1 who knows, maybe Apple will shoehorn the M3 chip into a iPhone someday. Extravagance is the name of the game.
So you're gonna be one of the few knukcleheads who's gonna render the next iPhone on their iPhones'. Other than that, edit the next 8k movie, sketch an anime series all in your iPhone? Your statement makes no sense as a person will never be able to utilise all that power even if they tried.
Iphone never were the best and we already know that from their baby m1 ultra compared to a rtx 3090 😂


So you are saying Apple is s*** because a system that as a whole uses less than half the power of the RTX 3090 is directly comparable? The guy you quoted is clearly a super Apple fan boy but you are also just stupidly far on the opposite side. Apple does great innovation it doesn't make their efforts useless. is just sad they gatekeep by having stupidly expensive upgrades and anti consumer design,

Actually,  expected rather than stellar would be a more appropriate adjective for the performance of apple's upcoming chip. Considering TSMC's N3 reported transistor density fluctuating between 40 and 60 percent higher than N5 and N4.

However, we need to see SOCs from competitors on the same node to make valid comparisons.  Last time this happened in recent  years was between snapdragon 8 gen 2 and a16 bionic.

On the same node the latest SOCs are for all intents and purposes about equal. Yes , a 16 bionic is about 25 percent faster on the cpu front.But at what cost? By being about 75 percent slower gpu wise and much slower on the neural engine front.

And of course what remains an open issue is sustained performance as mobile benchmarks have some small troubles capturing it. But this is an issue for another debate.

Point being that comparing SD 8 gen 3 with a17 bionic might be invalid based on the info we know until now.

You've posted unofficial scores that really don't mean squat. Until the official Geekbench scores are published everything is speculation. 45% gains from previous gen are a big boast. It all means nothing until they public official scores.

And, do you need it? People doesn't review the features of the mobiles and they use less than 60% of their capabilities so, do you need it?

,that's why geekbench is called Applebench lol

We all know it absolutely makes no difference. If you're an android user there's nothing Apple can do to switch over. It's the OS that matters and a phone is also a statement. If you don't want to be associated with the iPhone, you'll never buy one no matter if it runs on a quantum computer

Quote from: Neenyah on August 13, 2023, 05:11:29Yeah, they should give up already and simply stop being Apple's only supplier for 5G modems, then good luck getting online without WiFi.

Didn't Apple buy intels modem business and aren't they working on their own modem?
They did and they do but they are experiencing a lot of issues with it so their iPhone SE 4 is getting delayed for solid two years (at least two) and the Snapdragon X70 5G modem is going to be in the iPhone 16 next year.

Errr... What *this* proves, is absolutely nothing. I'm not saying that you're wrong about the rest, although I'm far from convinced about the M3 in a phone thing. But you're definitely wrong about *this* proving anything.

*This* is an unverified leak, with pretty huge credibility concerns. First of all the problem stated in the article about the chip having double the compute power of its predecessor, despite having  only one additional core.
Then the fact of it having a bigger percentage gain in single core, rather than multicore. I see four possible explanations for that:

1- A17 has fewer cores than A16. Incredibly unlikely.
2- A17 has worse multicore efficiency compared to A16. Highly unlikely.
3- Some sort of "boost" algorithm has been added, like what happens on desktop. 1 core in use equals really high frequencies, all core loads, it drops a lot. Quite unlikely.
4- Adopted the Android formula of using a super core. Possible, I guess.

Only one of those 4 explanations seems even remotely credible. So Occam's razor says that what's more likely, is this leak bring fake.
