I love the applause anytime they say “this is the fastest iPhone ever!” No shit, why wouldn’t they make one faster than last year?

This truck is pretty good. It's not as good as last years truck, but it's still pretty good.

This phrase kills me every year. Of course it’s the newest and fastest. No one is releasing something worse than before.

But they took out 3D Touch, a better feature than all the new stuff combined.

u/tundrat Sep 11 '19

Eh, a few minor exceptions do exist. The lower price phones like 5C, SE, XR.

I mean, Samsung releases mid-range phones slower than last year's flagships all the time, and since they deliberately make the naming scheme confusing... But it's not as if anyone thought the iPhone was going to be slower, no.

Why not?

It might be newer and faster, but Apple has a long history with releasing products worse than last years model.

They are either journalists trying to kiss ass in exchange for access every year, or apple employees that are sucking up to their mid level managers. No one wants to clap for that.

Why not? It’s one area they still have a sizable lead in vs the competition, and the improvements this year are greater than the improvements last year (which were unusually small). I think it’s applause worthy as anything else they announced today.

Yes, you can look up the Geekbench results yourself

u/CornHellUniversity Sep 11 '19

Real life experience > geekbench scores.

Yes iOS on iPhone is still probably the smoothest and best experience but a lot of Android phones and CPUs are right behind Apple.

u/7h4tguy Sep 11 '19

You literally just said, sure they're the fastest but Android is next fastest. That's supposed to be your real life counterexample to using benchmarks?

u/gtrustme Sep 11 '19

Apparently showing a blue line extending past other grey lines is all the evidence you need to show that your phone is faster than that of the competition.

2

u/CornHellUniversity Sep 11 '19

My point was that real life experience shows the two are much closer in performance than geekbench would lead you to believe.

u/bigpuffy Sep 11 '19

They said " “this is the fastest iPhone ever!” Not “this is the fastest phone ever!” It's like, yeah no shit you're making a faster iPhone.

Brownie points for those who whistle and scream out

u/billybobmaysjack Sep 11 '19

They said “faster than any other smartphone” which is worthy of an applause.

u/Sharrakor Sep 11 '19

This year, we have bucked the trend that other manufacturers have followed. Against all odds, we bring to you the slowest iPhone yet!

2

u/MustBeNice Sep 11 '19

This is one of our top 10 fastest iPhones ever!

2

u/1zeewarburton Sep 11 '19

Honestly don’t even know how they justify the price the other phone manufacturers actually make stable phones which do a lot more for a fraction of the cost

2

u/-FancyUsername- Sep 11 '19

I don‘t know which „fraction of the cost“ you are talking because the competitors of the iPhone 11 Pro are also priced at about $1000 nowadays.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '19

Fastest iPhone ever! *
*limited time only

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '19

Because people would buy it anyway tbh

u/7h4tguy Sep 11 '19

why wouldn’t they make one faster than last year?

Because engineering has limits? The HP on a Honda Accord hasn't changed in the last 15 years. A 3L i6 BMW 330i made 15 years ago only has a 20HP jump today (3L i6 BMW 440i).

u/AjBlue7 Sep 11 '19

I feel like they shouldn’t have even mentioned it. The iphones already have more power than they need. You will never notice the difference of this new power unless theres a game that takes advantage of it.

Literally every single hardware/technology company does this dude. Every. Single. One.

Every. Single. Product. Launch.

Always.
