I’m selling my iPhone mini when this comes out. Apple made a decision by not putting Touch ID in the 13 where they will lose my business because of the pandemic.  I’m constantly wearing a mask and Touch ID is the way to go for me.  

Isn't it easier throw the mask away.... ?

"Single Core Score: 1728 (+7.6% over A14)
Multi Core Score: 4695 (+9.3% over A14)"

A14 @ 2.99 GHz
A15 @ 3.22 GHz
= +7.33%

M1 @ 3.2 GHz Single Core: 1721 (iPad Pro https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/9837998)
+0.4%

M1 @ 3.2 GHz
A15 @ 3.22 GHz
= 0.6%

Conclusion, the difference mainly boils down to an increase in frequency and presumably the bigger cache in multi core score.

Insider info leaked long time ago said that A15 design will be focused on power efficiency. It looks like that . They made it less hungry, probably cooler, better manufacturing process then allowed them to hick frequency and so the performance.  When we see proclaimed battery life improvements we can say that A15 give more juice for the same power. We will see what Anand tech will find up.

So if I build my own phone and my own os, and sell it as a single product, I would be barred from loading my own apps on it?

F**k you politicians.  

I see no scenario where Apple would ever let this happen.  If passed, it will be forever tied up in the courts.  The iPhone has plenty of competition.  There is zero point to this.
