Has to be.

Why are there fast/slow cores? Shouldn't all 4 just be able to clock up/down?

i was being ironic, it's really stupid that cars are getting rid of 3.5mm when there's no possible argument that there's not enough space

Both my 2016 Honda HRV and my 2016 Fiat 500x have 3.5mm. Did you cheap out on the trim kit?

not really, it's middle of the road. But even so, you'd think 3.5mm would be the connection you'd have in the cheapest model, not USB-only

Apple has a fantastic track record of high performing SoCs .. so no clue what you're going on about. Android handsets doing 8 cores is nothing but catering to people that still don't understand just because something has a bigger number doesn't mean it's actually better.

Good thing it literally comes with a 3.5mm adapter for free.

sucks if I need to charge it while listening to music without buying an adapter tho. Or don't want to listen to music over Bluetooth.

These kind of video game displays at Apple conferences always look awful. Also this game doesn't look as good visually as Infinity Blade has done for years.
