Has apple insider gone mental? This is the worse matchup, one is brand new and one is a whole generation ago. 7th gen cpu vs 8th gen’s latest? When comparing cpu’s This is like putting a 2019 corvette up against a 1999. You can justify this with cost all you want, it is still ludicrous.

Then again, if manufacturer hasn’t done anything to improve the offering during that period, then they may be justified? The question is now how long before Apple addresses this? 

Also, if anyone wants to play games then they may be dual booting their Mac. Knowing the spec gap, may make them question whether sticking with their current favourite OS is the right choice. 

The Apple charger might be more than some knock off brands, but do you really want to trust anything except brands that will back their chargers?

Google seems to have so many messaging platforms it is confusing. Probably best to unify them somehow instead of creating more islands?

This looks like a solution in need of a problem to me. I would think the number of iOS devices, especially iPhones, NOT connected to the Internet is a minuscule minority indeed. My iOS devices are connected 24/7 via WiFi or LTE.

You sound like someone who has never left their city. The truth is this is useful in a large number of situations, where a signal is not available, including: being out in the middle of nowhere, travelling out of service provider zone, such as another country, and not having a reasonable data plan. 

When travelling out of country I am often having to hunt WiFi, simply because my providers international roaming options are so expensive. This is where offline services are handy. 

While pitched as a still camera, I can’t help wonder that video is a large part of the target audience?
