"The end goal, the forum posts claim, is a custom architecture of Samsung's own." Not exactly. Until last year, Samsung already had a custom core architecture with their Exynos line. What they want is a custom architecture that doesn't laughably und…

The article glaringly omits the fact that among the companies listed, Apple is the only one that doesn't license the actual core designs from ARM. Because Apple has a perpetual architectural license from ARM, they can design their own completely cus…

Great! I mothballed my iPhone 5s after upgrading to the new SE. But, nice to know that I can activate this feature on a 7-year old phone if I ever take it out in public on a regular basis again.

Would not exactly be surprising, given that the iPhone 6s and SE were each originally released with iOS 9. Supporting 7 different versions of iOS would be unprecedented for any iPhone model. The iPhone 5s along with the 6s are the only iPhone models…

Speaking of longevity, the iPhone 5s received its latest iOS update (12.4.6) less than a month ago. That would be the 5th update since Apple released iOS 13. Yes, they don't add new features or fix bugs that I'm aware of. But, that's still 6 1/2 yea…

Numbers are askew since the iPhone 11 only went on sale in September. The "year old" phones will outsell the newer phones simply because they have a full year of sales to report. If you isolate just the 4th quarter, I would doubt that the XR is outs…

Generally a good series on the Apple A-series processor lineage, but this installment seems even more overly focused on Apple's critics. In the context of the A8 itself, it didn't break a lot of new ground. But, it was crucial to resetting the marke…

The iPad was revolutionary because it created entirely new markets. Most of the comments here want the iPad to add more functions to make it more like a notebook computer. That totally misses the point. At one end, you have users like my mom and my …

Concurrently, Apple released iOS 12.4.4 for those devices running on the A7 and A8 processors. According to Apple's bulletin, it just fixes a security hole in FaceTime. Still very impressive that yet another update was issued, considering that the i…

It's hard to appreciate just how far ahead of the curve the A7 was when it came out. At that time, I was weighing between the iPhone 5c and the 5s. The A6 was already considered a best-in-class SoC when it came out with a custom CPU design that brok…
