The decision has nothing to do with performance concerns.

Bcuz Toyota has more sales, which means they have a better product than Rolls Royce.
And Rolls Royce is inferior because it has lower sales than Toyota.
If you want to make an argument, at least make it makes sense.

    Good. This is exactly why i talked about sales number.

    More inferior product = lower sales.

    Better product = bettwr sales.

    End of story.

      Some people are still in Helifurnace X times in their heads I see, they haven't seen dimensity 9300.

        Jesus, can you do something right? These are renders for Flip5 / Fold5

          DeepIn2U, 24 May 2024What? NO! Apple never used to opwrate this way and ... moreI'm not sure who told you that planned obsolescence isn't real...

          1- Everytime you go to an apple store for a repair, there's a higher chance that you'd pick up a few accessories on your way out.
          2- Apple cases have no bottom edge, apple tells you "It's for better gesture navigation" but the real reason is it makes your phone easier to crack! They didn't even have a bottom edge on the older iPhone 6-7-8 with the home button design.
          4- The lip around the screen & cameras is low profile... it doesn't offer a lot of protection.
          5- The reason you have glass on the front & back is it increases the chances of you cracking your phone & it increases the weight of the phone which makes it hit the ground harder. (Yes, it allows for wireless charging... but i'll get into that in the next point)
          6- The reason apple wanted to make a portless iphone & completely skip USB-C is because magsafe wireless charging is extremely inefficient & it heats up your phone like crazy compared to a cable. A lot of Qi wireless charging pads keep heating your phone even though it reached 100% & it stopped charging a long time ago.
          7- The heat will subsequently degrade your Battery Health which will make people change their batteries more frequently + Used iphones will have a worse battery health which will make them less desirable.
          8- Titanium iphones had less weight than stainless steel iphones, but on the other hand JerryRigEverything proved they crack much more easily than stainless steel.
          9- They don't even want you to be able to repair your own device... they went out of their way to serialize every part. Louis Rossmann have extensively covered how Apple's "self repair program" is actually anti right to repair.

          Wake up dude, they don't care about me. They don't care about you. They're just figuring out the most clever anti-consumer (yet legal) way to milk our wallets. And you've fell for it! Heck, you white knight for Apple on the internet for free! And you're not getting paid for it... It's the same old consumer tribalism that we see in cars, in consoles wars, in sports, in politics, etc...

            [deleted post]Ok floosy!
            Lets get you off to school as the competing chips old man schooled you on are STILL shipping in new products just announce the past 3wks and one on the 21st!

            Don't start none else they'll BE none!

            Do your research before talking smack!
            You're literary on a site with such information.
            So sit down amd jot notes before the playground time hits and you get merked lol.

            Calling someone old as a way to insult is asinine as they'd have more experience than you and maintained a society you take for granted and many built the tech you have enjoyed all of your youth.

              Anonymous, 23 May 2024I read the comments here, and it seems to be unanimous that... moreTrue.

              Yes it's ONLY due to past and current performance.

              What if the upcoming fabrications for Exynous DID beat Qualcomm on every aspect for tablets and smartphones? You would STILL have doubts of every spec test and review even if AnandTech did an indeoth ... it would take time to change mindsets.

                NO!

                Apple never used to opwrate this way and battery gate is the exception, and keyboard gate (2016-2018 MBP's) is a mistake,Apple's BEST interest is for the customer to be VERY happy and sing the praises of the product as the PRODUCT makes the purpose for the software and OS to exist and vice versa. Happy customers are MUCH MORE powerful than marketing costs and wwdc events because long term happy customer affects by inception others around them to BUY more product as well as themselves buying more product and conrinually upgrading as necessary!

                Proof:
                IPod 1st year came with FW400 ONLY and no PC software!
                IPhone also came originally with no PC software iTunes was Mac ONLY!
                Macs after the OG only could run Mac software and once again after Intel to Apple Silicon again natively without 3rd party parallels or VMware they run Mac software without any emulation or help ONLY.

                Loads of customer anectdot experience of out of warranty products being fixed or replaced for servers issues again out of warranty without extra cosst all over Macrumkrs forums for decades!

                Remember Apple's PC global market share only in the last 10 yrs went above single digits either in USA only, N. AMERICA both North and South American continents and globally!!

                If your THAT small you do NOT SHAFT your customers you'll never last!
                Aka Commodore original ownership, Sega HW division gone. Palm. Handspring. Casio. Nokia cellphones (brand sold to HMD).
                BlackBerry phones (again sold to HMD).
                Danger Inc

                            Big problem with the Z flip 5 was that it would be always hot even when idle. This thing is gonna straight up melt in your hand...

                              While the huge gap in power efficiency for TSMC chips and Samsung chips remains, the gap does appear to be shrinking.

                              The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (Samsung 4LPE) used to consume 50-55% more power than Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (TSMC N4) for the same task.

                              Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is based on TSMC N4P, which is one generation ahead of N4, while Exynos 2400 is based on 4LPP+ which is two generations ahead of 4LPE. Based on preliminary numbers, the power consumption gap has now reduced to 35-40%.

                              Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is likely to be based on TSMC N3E, which is barely 1.5 generation ahead of N4P, based on TSMC's own claims (N3B barely brought any power efficiency as compared to N4P). On the other hand, Samsung 3GAP, on which Exynos 2500 will be based, is around 3 generations ahead of 4LPP+ based on Samsung's own claim. Therefore, power consumption gap should further reduce to ~20%.

                              Basically, the power efficiency of Samsung 3GAP should end up at the level of TSMC N4P on the high-end and at the level of TSMC N4 at the low end. Therefore, if there is a substantial cost differential between using its own chips vis-a-vis TSMC N3E based Snapdragon chips, I think using its own chips would make sense.

                              (Note: 1 generation gap in terms of power efficiency means 5% more performance at same power, or 10% less power consumption at same performance.)

                                Exynos is ok if it will be priced low enough to justify worse performance, drivers and battery life.

                                If it is same price and worse case only Exynos on certain regions then no buy.

                                  snapdragon have better efficiency and fold series are known to be lower for thermal dissipation than normal candy bar phone, so that one point. The other thing is the fold series is expensive top of the top so it seems samsung want to make the image of a flagship without making some compromise to the part since exynos known to have bad image as a chipset, even the 2400 which is quite good still got fire from the communities about its gpu

                                    Probably battery concerns, base S24 gets about 20% less battery when using 5G. The flip and fold have way smaller batteries due to the form factor.
