How tech companies are lying to us

[Redaktion]

Two of the world's best-known tech YouTubers have teamed up to shine a light on the increasingly opaque and sometimes seemingly deliberately misleading information that marketing departments at major tech companies like Apple and Samsung regularly bombard consumers with. In many cases, strictly speaking, it may actually be fair to call them lies.

Every Industry Does This

Commercials are manipulation.
You don't need 90% of the food in a grocery store to survive.
Insurance is a bet that very, very well trained people have already calculated that you will lose.
I can't think of a single industry that doesn't use manipulation on some level to get you to buy their services/products.

of course their lying to us, but so are tech journo's !

[some args are pushig it]

Yes, they're lying, as much as they legally can get away with, but the part about the resolution was pushing it? and M1 to M5 improvement of 5-10% per APPLE M series generation is actually false:
M1: 68.3 GB/s
M2: 102.4 GB/s (+ 49.9 %)
M3: 102.4 GB/s (+ 0 %)
M4: 120.0 GB/s (+ 17.2 %)
M5: 153.6 GB/s (+ 28 %)
(+ 23.8 % gen-over-gen on average)

Lookup the GB/s values here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_silicon#M-series_SoCs.
Calculation for e.g. the M5: 153.6 GB/s = 128-bit * 9600 MT/s / 8/ 1000.
