I have an m2 iPad pro. The last thing it needs is more processing power, what it needs is better software to make use of the power that it has. I’d love to run full OS X on it considering I paid more than some MacBooks.
That’s nice, and it’s cool to see correct lighting and reflections in games, but that’s if those are not broken by fuckload of shaders used incorrectly (that would be most modern games).
As a developer, I find it pretty frustrating having to deal with constant hardware updates. By the time you get something released that takes advantage of the hardware you have, you’re already at least a generation or two behind.
I feel the same way. I feel like we used to buy things and hold onto them for a while, nowadays, everything seems to be designed to have a single year lifecycle. I like AirPods but now that their battery died and I can’t replace them, I’m looking at going back to the cord. But now of course we’re in dongle hell since there’s only one port…

Yeah weird shilling hardware power at this point into tech cycle… short of ML/AI work loads for GPUs, we have enough power for every day shit.
We need better software products to utilize them but all we got is fucking ad laden trash and spyware with every app.
Big tech lost their fucking minds.
100%… for example… they used Diablo Immortal as the example for the new ray tracing capabilities LOL
Common iPadOS L
Raytracing is cool, only why have it in games is beyond me.
Making wallpapers with POV-Ray - yes.
…because it tends to enhance visuals?

Same thing with my 2018 iPad Pro honestly. More ram and a better display? Maybe, but other than that it’s completely software limited

Check out the Fairbuds from Fairphone.
Great repairability. Shit sound quality
