    I was going to say that I agree iPhones are smartphones are of no benefit, they don’t do anything, I’m being sarcastic, but looking closer at the list, how did they get it all so very wrong?

    Don’t need 64 bit for more than 4GB? Every new computer should have 32GB and 64GB is not unreasonable.

    Don’t need full HD? How does 8K resolution sound with 16K being developed?

    I question their basic knowledge and experience with technological advancements for higher demand, more complicated work loads, and adcancements for security protections like 64 bit memory address randomization that can’t exist on 32 bit hardware.

      Did you even read it? They don’t say anything of it is unnecessary or bad. Just, that it’s not there yet.

      And iPhones only really became what we think of today with better mobile network and the advent of 3rd party apps.

      64bit explicitly mentions the lack of 64bit SOFTWARE. Meaning no software could make use of your 64bit cpu.

      FHD was said to only be the first step and that it would promptly be replaced by UHD. Which it did.

      None of this means anything on the list is bad, just not as great as sold, aka overhyped.

        Haha, I mean I’m using up 8 gigs of ram with 10 chrome tabs open, 16gb is definitely starting to look a little lightweight than I’d like at the moment. I built my PC in 2020 with 16gb and around the end of 2021 I ended upgrading with two more sticks, just to keep things running smoothly!

          With you adding my RAM, that’s exactly why I say 32GB of 4GB per core, to make sure everything runs while making sure not all hardware is being used so everything runs at max performance.

          For example if an 8 core 32GB system is using 6 cores and 14GB, then all programs are running as they should be with ease. But if a 16GB system is using 14GB, there’s not enough memory and might already be starting to pagefile.
