i checked the apple watch 3 tech specs and it doesnt have bluetooth 5 yet. this is a disaster

why would you put bluetooth 5 on the phone but not the accessory which needs it for 95% of its functionality. how can tim cook sleep at night

maybe because the changes in 5 for the LE spec don't impact usage in a meaningful way. hmm HMMMM 🤔

butttooth 5 spec is mostly a revision to compete against zigbee and other lovely IoT specs to allow for longer range and higher throughput mesh topologies so a bunch of stupid lightbulbs can be yelling to your phone at once an means about fuckall for your phone sitting 10 feet away from your watch

It's too bad your 6P is working perfectly. Google warranty swapped my old one for a 128GB Pixel XL.

should have made the iphone x an se sized phone with a 4.7" display instead of an even bigger phone with a plus sized display

The last perfect iPhone was the iPhone SE. I’m not saying the iPhone SE is the best iPhone. I’m just saying it’s the last one that is perfect in design. No camera bump, no notch, perfect back, perfect front, perfect sides, every button feels nice and is well located. ↩︎

a large % increase of a small number can still be smaller than a small % increase of a large number

also the A10 can only use either the high power or the low power cores, the A11 can use all six of its cores at the same time. that definitely helps boost the multi-core score a bit.

yes i get that but does no ones else see the paradox i see? like wouldn't it make sense if the low powered cores were 70% faster but then the high powered cores were at least 70% or more faster?? why not just have 6 of the faster ones? why have 2 extra cores that are for high powered situations, but they're only 25% faster than the old cores and not 70%

surely someone understand my confusion but also understands the reasoning and is willing to explain it?
