@No RDNA4 or better,no buy:

They don't care lol. There's a reason why consoles are getting RDNA5 (which is going to have way more powerful hardware upscaling h/w than RDNA4) by late 2027... while mainstream laptop APUs are stuck on RDNA3.5/RDNA4m (aka RDNA3.6/3.7) till 2029.

Their roadmaps are fixed. They're not changing anything certainly not for you/us. If anything, I'll be mildly surprised if they don't further have delays. Halo was delayed by 1 year.

It's been said that the best Radeon architectures in recent memory are the ones designed for consoles. As time goes by, it's increasingly becoming clear that this is true. RDNA2 was genuinely impressive for its time (DLSS wasn't as good back then as it is today). The next big one will be RDNA5! Might as well skip RDNA4 at this point, if you genuinely care about hardware based upscaling performance..

I think a lot of people just hate Apple because... its Apple
8GB... what a horrible thing! It doesnt matter that for majority of users its fine as they only need to run web browser, text processor and spotify.  Sure, its not future proof, will not run local LLMs but its ok even for light gaming. And SoC is far better than numbers says. Not because 'magic' of MacOS which is complete bullshit. Because of raw single-core performance 2-3 generations ahead of x86. It will feel simply a lot snappier for longer period of time even if it will be less useful for 'heavy' workload.  It has only two real downsides:
-no backlit keyboard
-MacOS means need to learn a new how to use computer

Succinctly put.

I have nothing against rugged phones, been interesting for rugged smartphone that has decent specs(for the price) and somewhat acceptable cameras and isnt too big, so this could be welcome addition for those who don't care in buying Chinese brands and getting their data sent directly to Xi's office.
As long as it stays well below 300 dollar mark it will be OK, otherwise its just unreal to ask so much money for Chinese phone given how saturated is market with Chinese rugged phones.
Also, for the love of god, what on earth are all these rugged phone makers thinking when they insert cameras inside the screen with punch hole or water drop designs?! There's more than plenty of space above the screen, within the bezel!

Teh.

Echt jetzt, Apple? Immernoch kein HD Bluetooth
