              hjkl, 30 Apr 2025the apps dont stay open for much time on androids whatever ... moreyeah that's "optimisation" for you.

              Everyone talks about Samsung/Apple optimisation and that's it, killing off background apps/slowing down apps to save battery. Normal people dont notice it as they'd be happy with a Galaxy A52 nowadays so they think Samsung/Apple are doing magic. They aren't.

                I know this is like 1 year ahead. but we know A18 fam and likely A19 fam is 16bit per channel. do you guys it STAYS 16bit per channel? or they'll 'finally' expand it too?

                    Huge upgrade i can’t wait for it coming 12gbram can handle all tasks or renders work like butter as always but meanwhile android 34gbram but gimmick sometimes feel lagged on I think 12gb ram on iPhone equals 24gbram on android so don’t worry about it android is android ok peace no war

                          a new soc, more RAM, 120Hz... what's this gesture of unprecendent generosity, Apple?

                          we all know ios is so optimized it can run on 3gb flawlessly and ios 60Hz=android 120Hz. we don't need your sops

                            Dimtons, 30 Apr 2025It's not propaganda, just insider information on proto... moreJust insider information... Yes because apple has been known for years to always leak hardware specs to insiders... Oh wait.

                            No one knows any new specs of the phone, it's simply hearsay and if you look at apple's track record they very rarely, if ever, match the specs of the "rumors" each generation. But yes someone knows that's spoke to gsm what the 17 will be and how a product not in pre production will be in 2 years time.

                            They clearly aren't doing their own research, just info dumping from some other article, most likely to gain clicks n traffic on their site because it's an easy article to make.

                            "Local a.i." so basically what x86 chip makers have been doing for years now anyway with co pilot on windows being awful. I thought most a.i. are mostly all still cloud based too and pixels use cloud based upscaling/recording for 8k video. Most game streaming services are all cloud based and work perfectly fine.

                            Please don't fall in to the marketing trap.

And USB 3 but don’t care either. Maybe the rumored stage manager on iPhone will be exclusive to USB 3 iPhones, which is all Pro models since 15 Pro.

                                    If iPhone 17 gets the display and bezels of iPhone 16 Pro, 12GB RAM and A19 for the same price, I consider this not a bad value. From the leaked dimensions, it will probably have a bigger battery, like 3800-4000. While that’s not necessary for me and I‘d have preferred a thinner and lighter design with the same battery life, I know that many people will appreciate this as well.
