Buy a main frame then.

This is not a device claiming to be a main frame but a relatively inexpensive impressively powerful work station.

My Hasellblad medium format camera took stunning photos and a face the size of my index finger nail on the negative could produce a full quality natural size (8 x 12) photo of the lady. However, portability was not a part of their marketing claims. I think my case was close to 50 pounds with several bodies and the fantastic lenses from Zeiss.

And results were delayed until the film was developed.....

My digital Leica took great photos in Africa but we were in a vehicle so the size was not an issue. We also took lots of iPhone photos that turned out great as well.

One might think the iPhone could disappear when Apple starts putting 5G modems in their laptops and larger cameras in the iPads that have the space for bigger lenses.

Actually the maintenance staff at the White House was more qualified....

Somehow, my iPhone 13 Max Pro 1TB and iWatch 7 45mm with cell service cost almost half as much a my Leica camera. Last fall the expense crowded $2,130 at list price plus sales taxes. We use the trickle down theory on iPhones so my wife gets the 13 when I get the 14. One of her four daughters gets the 12....

The iWatches are traded in. I do get the military 10% discount, but it still is a significant cash flow.

We get great photos with the iPhones so the Leica sits in it's case on the shelf. I have the iPhone with me all of the time, just like Steve Jobs said. 

Apple was wise to get to complete vertical integration and have their own processors and can design the iOS or MacOS exactly to their processors and on Apple's time schedule.

The copy cats using off the shelf parts from a myriad of vendors can not really expect to get the total performance that custom silicone provides.

Kind of like rushing out to buy First Class tickets for the Titanic. Whoops, it has already sunk. Just like Peloton. The equipment will be nearly valueless without the internet access parts.....
