Your statement of iPhone 11 Pro not being able to run PUBG Mobile at balanced 60fps or higher? False news 🙉 it can even run HDR 60fps smoothly while recording with nearly no chopped framerates and good audio synchronization (some Androids can't).

Of course it's not a gaming phone, it gets warm quickly, so stop comparing it with a Red Magic. RM's camera performance is much weaker.

                  Look I've already conceded to your ramblings, the ROG is a world beater as evidenced by the approval it enjoys from you and its world wide sales dominance......oh wait, sorry, regional partial sales sucess. Still, Apples days are indeed numbered.

                  though it's funny, your oblivious to the irony of wanting to speak of rating how companies perform in the real world, then being dismissive of Apple. Trillion dollar company wasn't it? I'm guessing thats a degree of success ASUS are simply not interested in right. On the other hand, I'm certain Apple's share holders are eager to never hear any suggestions you might have.

                  Look, GAMING smartphones are a niche most mainstream tech companies are simply not interested in. That is because market analysis would suggest there is just not enough interest to support the investment.

                  The result is the ROG series look like a big fish in a small pond, no pun intended, but the thing is just ridiculously large. Seriously at some point it surely just makes more sense to carry a Switch around with you.

                    Would've, could've, should've... Blah blah blah!
                    We rate products and companies on how they perform in real world.
                    Not based on the potential of those companies.

                    Just like Samsung had potential for best camera on market with 108mp HM1 sensor. But that was on paper. In the real world they weren't any better than other 2020 flagships.
                    So we judge them on real world results not their potential.

                    Apple has potential to make gaming phone? Sure, being a trillion dollar company sure they do.
                    But did they make one?
                    Apple has potential to give 100W fast charging? Have they given it though?
                    Apple can buy Asus. But have they?

                    You live in your own fantasy world.
                    We live in the real world where ROG 2 is better for gaming than iPhone. Also in day to day performance.
                    We live in real world where SD865 running phones are outperformimg A13 in speed tests despite better potential of A13 on GeekBench.

                    You have a huge problem comprehending simple real world results.

                      But your right everyone else is wrong, and the ROG 2 is the best device in the world, one that Apple despite being able to afford any talent or resources in the world they would like, at any time, could never hope to reproduce. Why, because it’s the one some anonymous dude chose as his daily driver.

                      Heck, they could even buy ASUS's smartphone division if for some reason they chose to (i'm sure ASUS would be flattered by the offer at least, after all they are not exactly racking it in with the ROG phones) and still not be capable of such, why, because some anonymous dude who doesn't like Apple says so.

                        Trillion dollar company still can't do widgets better than 100 dollar phones from relatively small Android manufacturers.
                        Same with fast charging. Still giving 18W coz they lack the ability to innovate.

                          If the results were the opposite with A13 beating SD865, you would have been singing a different tune.

                          A13 with 40% more single core performance than SD865 on GeekBench 5 miserably fails in the real world.

                              How one comes to the conclusion that one the most profitable and wealthy companies in the world somehow lacks the ability to technically compete is beyond me.
                              There is no reason for apple to pursue such a niche avenue, the market simply is not large enough to entice them to do so. Just ask ASUS and the several dozen ROG phones they have sold.
                              No, smarter business acumen would suggest you consider GAMING as an aspect of the smartphone experience, not the focus.
                              Should that change, and Apple do decide to compete on those specific terms, they will simply turn to their existing engineering talent base or purchase as necessary, then implement the results into their own solution. ASUS and many others like them have until Apple decide to make such a choice, because they won’t be around much longer after that, not in the smartphone space anyway.
                              You and them will want to hope that indeed doesn’t happen until at least 2030.
                              Sorry though, I’m probably going over your head and confusing you again.
