      To be honest, right now chipsets should just stop caring about peak performance. I do feel like chipsets have an insane peak performance but very weak sustainable performance. Snapdragon and Apple should just follow the lead of the dimensity 8100, which destroyed the iPhone 13 pro max and also the S22 Ultra in the Genshin Impact test. Yes, it is nice to flex your big 1 million score numbers in Atutu , but can you hold it? No? Big numbers doesn’t mean anything if you can’t using it for prolonged period of time

            I'd rather buy a midrange android instead of pro iphone. It makes my everyday task easier and not complicated.

              Very few upgrade yearly, i definately felt the difference from going 11 Pro to 13 Pro!

                All that power, too bad the OS is still useless. If Apple didn't restrict iOS so much, iPhones would make the best gaming phones over ASUS, Xiaomi, and Nubia. But there are still so many steps after jailbreak if you want to install emulators on them.

                Shame too. Emulation scene is moving into more powerful systems like the Wii U, Switch, and PS3. Great PS2 emulation is becoming yesterday's news although we are still loving AetherSX2 since PlayStation 2 is so beloved by so many gamers.

                Retro gamers who play retro games on their phones wouldn't mind all that power to run those games but iOS will always be restrictive.

                  Who cares when they can't cool A15 as it is.
                  I was unable to play demanding games for more than 10 minutes on my 13 pro before the screen started dimming. Useless crap.

For example, all 2014-2015 phones quickly died when playing Pokémon GO, but when I opened up on iPhone SE 2 yesterday, it barely drained battery and didn’t even get very warm, while my old phones from that time would get hot and need a powerbank.

                              Still no passive or active cooling it seems either

                              All this power upgrade to help iPhone fans use Instagram and type angrily on twitter

                                George399, 25 Jul 2022Apple fankid detected, go defend those 60hz 🥱News flash: 120FPS at 60Hz is better than 60FPS at 60Hz. You'll be getting more up-to-date frames when the screen refreshes, which is crucial for faster-paced games. You're acting like refresh rate locks the framerate, which is obviously BS. Obviously 120Hz is better, but saying 60Hz makes faster GPUs irrelevant is just wrong.

                                You call it fanboying, I call it facts.

                                        Newer SoC, newer modem, newer screen and newer storage/ram. All made with newer fab processes. Add the latest iOS.
                                        Still does not last too much compared to iphone 6, even if you turn off 5G.
