Wonder if this is just the pro vesion?
Judging by the identifier "9,2", I'm led to assume this is the plus, since the 6S+ was labeled "8,2", as the article stated. Maybe the pro would be labeled "9,3"? Maybe it's just wishful thinking...
Wonder if this is just the pro vesion?
Can I ask , what tasks on the 6S are slow currently ?
Since the iPhone 5, I have not noticed a performance boast each upgrade, sure they benchmarks improved , but daily usage, almost identical .
I'd take a new look phone over Almost identical performance. Instead of almost identical design and identical performance
You mean the skylake chip that just came out? not all processors are release at onceI hope Apple goes with the Kaby Lake processors and not a dated processor.
I am certain that I will enjoy a "noticeable difference" when compared to my 5S. It's getting used to the "noticeable difference" of the Plus size that concerns me; bye-bye one handed use.Some impressive numbers there!! Nice performance bump, question is, will there be a noticeable differnce in Daily use
ARM, ARM, ARM. Coming to a Mac near you soon.
Would certainly explain the next Macs being "the most significant upgrade ever undertaken by Apple".
So we had 1 GB RAM for centuries...

You're kidding right, it's not even out yet for Desktop...I hope Apple goes with the Kaby Lake processors and not a dated processor.
Jeez, not this uninformed argument again.
Name a mobile Intel chip currently shipping that is more powerful than the top end i7-4980HQ 2.8GHz in the 15" rMBP. The only one I can think of is i7-5950HQ and even that isn't much more powerful by even a mild margin. Practically identical in performance to be honest.
The Xeon E3-1545M isn't any better.
So come on: what chips should Apple be shipping?
Microsoft did. No one wanted it so they withdrew it.Hmmm, these chips are quickly catching up to desktop CPU power in every iteration. They'd definitely give mobile i5s a run for their money. And these are chips without fan cooling, running in mobile devices. If Microsoft released a version of Windows 10 that would run on the ARM instruction set...
I honestly think Apple do have ARM Macs in the backburner. Certainly not contemplating a release in the next 5 years, but more than likely a 'what if' scenario. Hypothetically, if they had control over the chip pipeline, development, and design macOS to really scream on these chips -- who knows.
You're kidding right, it's not even out yet for Desktop...
I think the goal is one computer you carry around and plug in. Instead of laptop with plug in your reduce the footprint to a phone that plugs in and use keyboard when sit down and bigger monitor. Right now the phone could power every computer before around 2008 so in a few years it will be a reasonable option for everyone. Will not be as fast as a desktop but we compromise for laptops and this would be some more compromise that will work for a sizable portion of people. We will always need real computers but for many people this will work pretty well.If only Apple gave us a desktop OS on the phone/tablet. That is what I am waiting for. Tim statement and commercial that the iPad can replace a computer is not real until the OS gets there. The hardware is close enough I think.
If I'm understanding you correctly... Apple is still using the 4th generation i7-4980HQ in the 15" rMBP.
And Intel has since released the 5th generation i7-5950HQ... but Apple decided not to use it.
So I'm not seeing how Apple is stuck waiting on Intel.
Until you starts to do real multitasking that the iPhones can't do to begin with.Apple's chip architecture is second-to-none. Most tasks run on single-core anyway.
Serious question. What the hell are people doing with their phones where the iPhone 6 is not powerful enough? Is this a spec bump just for the sake of a spec bump?
All that speed boost probably came from twice the ramI upgraded from an iPhone 5S to the iPhone 6S and saw significant improvement in browsing, opening apps, camera response etc. but year - to raise the bar from here might be more a question about future proofing than solving a problem right here, right now
LOL. Again with "real" multitasking.Until you starts to do real multitasking that the iPhones can't do to begin with.
On Samsung's high end smartphones, you can run like 4 apps at the same time. And for that, you absolutely need more than just 2 CPU-cores lol.
Come back later when iOS actually can do some of the cool things the Galaxy Note 7 can do for example and tell me if 2 CPU-cores are fun to use?
Just wondering, what 4 apps do you have running at the same time?Until you starts to do real multitasking that the iPhones can't do to begin with.

The claim was made that Apple is stuck waiting on Intel. And that Intel misses Apple's release schedule.What is there to gain from those CPUS? Basically nothing.
