Now that was funny, I literally spilled my beer, yes beer, not coffee.
I appreciate the correction because if there’s one thing I hate, that spreadin FUD.
Still a powerful chip and I game on it all the time, so I know exactly.
A11 will easily last another two years keeping my phone speedy and stable, which will be more than I will need.
My next future phone will be a X3, Pixel 4 or S11.

It was translated poorly from Chinese.
The original video shows:
"You busy?"
"Yeah"
Which makes more sense given what was happening.
This I will admit is my BIGGEST disappointment with the whole mobile gaming scene, and one that coul dbe to blame for a little stagnation.
We have heard and seen from Apple, year after year these amazing tech demo's, and talk about what is possible on the latest iPhone at the time.
Then we wait, and nothing.
We just get, for the vast most part some other little silly games.
The reason, I think a LOT Of us understand this is that people are not going to pay $40 / $50 for example for a Triple A phone game.
However, I do think Apple could help a LOT here.
If the phone CAN act like a console, then ok, let's have a dock and a proper controller, sit your phone in the dock, sit back in front of your BIG SCREEN TV, the phone could charge, and you can relax with the controller in your hand and play an amazing game.
Zero reason this could not be offered by Apple tomorrow.
Apple Switch, if you want to call it that

Apple might be able to carry this a bit further than others from brand name alone, but this has been tried before. The Ouya, and it failed. I think also the shield?? Though honestly I couldn't really tell you anything about that system has I have no idea aha. Apple Tv? While I do agree, mobile gaming could, and should go A LOT further than currently. As you said, I think the major reason for this, is people simply aren't willing to spend money for mobile games, and as a result developers wont make the investment. Couldn't tell you why, but its the simple truth, and it makes me cry at night holding my beautiful, powerful, iPad Pro 10.5
i actually thought it was pretty cool. They didnt have to bash the competition unlike *cough cough samsung*

speak for yourself. I have a iphone 6s on ios 10.3.3 and have no random stutter you talk about
What, what? You should really try to document your stories somehow, They are so contradictory to most people's experiences, that you just sound like a troll. Not saying you are, but people might say you were, not me, that wouldn't be right, but people.
Seriously, Not saying that in some circumstances you might be right, but what are those circumstances? I know your iPhone 5 is only 32 bit, so that limits some stuff. Did you replace your battery on your 6s? It is well past its expected life now, your phone might be throttling to avoid the bad battery from causing a crash. iOs 12 is a beta and does not support 32 bit, not a production OS, so maybe you are not a good candidate for beta testing if you are using software that has hiccoughs.
What are you saying? That running some undisclosed 32 bit software on an old phone and an old iOS is somehow a better experience than running a 64 bit, version of the same software on a beta version of iOS? Details, details man
Oh, try running it in the freezer.

I love the X, it never ever ever does what you describe. Are you making a video while running it in the oven?
I can see why they changed it. It's sort of a rude brush off. Most people I know would just not respond.
its not so mush that Samsung bashes the competition that makes them deplorable, it's that they bash people. Hey I get it, choose Samsung or Apple, either is more than good enough, but call people names and call them stupid? That is so Faux News!
Apple did the same thing back with those Mac vs Pc guy ads. Back then I had a Pc and those ads pissed me off. I think that’s why Apple stopped doing comparison commercials.
iPhone 8. Girlfriend's iPhone 8 does it as well, as does my iPhone 6.
When I press-hold a link and select "Open in Background", it does an animation showing it load into the background. Throughout this animation and for about a second more, the current app is entirely unresponsive.
This is just one example. Going between menus is another. See how quickly you can go back and forth between a message and the messages list, or a song and the songs list. It's more than 1000 ms each time for me.

When 'animations' are running and the device will not accept any input. I put animations in quotes because it still happens when the animation is visibly complete, but the input blocking lasts a bit longer.
It's better than it was, and I hope iOS 12 makes it a thing of the past finally. Repeating inputs is actually quite annoying, especially when you aren't sure if it's just taking time or ignored it.
“Even”? What else is becoming worse? Best iPhone yet. Best iPads yet. Best Macs yet. Best Watch yet. What exactly is getting worse?
And at the end of the product cycle right before they're to launch new phones. Probably just trying really hard to clear inventory.
I know this is off topic but I love this ad. But then again I love Mr Bean so yeah. I can't stop laughing. And did I see he was wearing an Apple watch?
