They have some unique exclusives. But some game decisions are very questionable at times due to the lacktherof of funding for development.

The hardware is there, but the market may not. Take for example, people on console are significantly more willing to pay for a game to play. Mobile is the oppisite (where paid games barely get buyers unless its top cut (e.g minecraft, terraria, stardew valley)and people play F2P games instead)
Resident evil is capcom testing the water for higher end mobile gaming.
Well, that and Apple has a history of not supporting the open standard graphics APIs, requiring devs to do more work in order to port on Apple Devices(well this is more in particular apple on laptop/desktop where molten is a requirment) ios iirc has support for vulkan.
Its less about copying the work, its more like looking at patterns that appear in a work.
To bring a very rudimentary example, if I wanted a word and the first letter was Q, what would the second letter be.
Of course, statistically, the next letter is u, and its not common for words starting with Q to have a different letter after that. ML/AI is like taking these small situations, but having a ridiculous amount of parameters to come up with something based on several internal models. These paramters of course generally have some context.
Its like if you were told to read a book thoroughly, and then after was told to reproduce the same book. You probably cannot make it 1:1, but could probably get the general gist of a story. The difference between you and the machine is the machine read a lot of books, and contextually knows patterns so that it can generate something similar faster and more accurate, but not exactly the original one for one thing.
of course not, its always gacha that profits, as thats the current situation its that AAA titles moving onto it open up a new market. it just terrible timing that opening up the new market coincided with the hottest iphone in awhile
buying a case actually exacerbates the scratching issue, as any small piece that gets into the case scratches it over time, hence experiences with Essential PH-1s. its just a symptom of titanium.
as a material, titanium is actually softer than some aluminum based alloys, so its softness allows for some dust, which have a higher hardness than it, to scratch it up. a common material that would scratch it up would be a grain of sand, and if caught inside the case, would do damage overtime.
I do miss the weight and ceramic as well. Ive replaced the screen (multiple times, my fault) towards the end of its life and batteries, but tmobile cutting off 3g was time for me to move on from it (to a Zenfone 9)
The pixel to me isnt there yet to where i want it let me want it(outside of my preference for smaller phones) with the SOC(which is tied to battery life). Maybe until a generation after google launches its fully custom SOC where id consider getting the A varient of the phone only because its the smallest model.
Its why imo if youre going to get a 15 pro or better, get the titanium color. Its a “new” color with a titanium border with the least color problems.
It depends on how youre using it and what youre actively doing from what ive seen. Its common for it to get hot for those doing the initial, just bought phone and transfering data due to the amount of data transfered between devices.
The other way people see it is when gaming, one reviewer I believe had the phone throttle while playing genshin impact, and heavier gaming is becoming a bigger marketing tool for Apple recently, as its actively advertising Resident Evil on its phone, and theres a few more devs coming along too. While phone gaming is a minority in cellphone use cases, its actually considered the largest paying base when considering the entire gaming industry.
The source on the physical and edge aspects are jerryrigseverything tests
Physically, i think the other ones were that the phone is more fragile (can be broken with bending with only hands), and the phones with darker colored titanium edges gets its paint scratched off easily.
Titanium is very sensitive to scratches, just telling people as anybody who used an Essential PH-1 could tell you (I didd for 4 years)
The main purposeni see people upgrading is if youre trying to reduce the number of chargers you carry around to 1, if youre a person who carries other devices like a macbook (and choose to charge over usb c instead of magsafe) or other devices like handheld gaming and such. Else. Smartphones in general have gotten to the point where people are only upgrading to fix a bad battery.
what do you expect from a company that sells a 19$ polishing cloth and a 1000$ stand. its part of their business to sell you accessories.
As a person who works ewaste, which includes apple devices, youd be suprised on how little people return the chargers for their devices
Part of the reason was because of sms pricing on thr earlier days. Sms was quickly free in the U.S, so they used sms because it was there. Many regions used whatsapp and similar to avoid sms charges in the early days. That usage habit still exists today
I mean on AMDs side, their overclocking tools are actually in the driver install itself, Its just that a far majority of people use Nvidia. (At least for windows)
For usage in smarphones where the vast majoirty of people use it for point and click purposes, yes. For applications where cameras are hand focused and settings are dialed automaically, no.
For smartphones, its not as useful because a lot of post processing ends up happening to the image. There are times where you dont want the post processing to happen (the raw image)
Its why I think companies need to pick up the Valve model of reviews in the area of splitting overall score and recent review average. Recent review reflects whether if something changed and is bad, then the product would rate poorly, despite overall reviews.
An alternative choice is having an external drive formatted for Linux, and setting up the bios to boot to linux if the drive is plugged in. Doesnt require any modifications to the windows drive, and allows you to run Linux natively when you need to.
My only gripe with it after trying it this year is that it makes you go through the first few steps of filing for state, without iniially asking you if you were planning on paying the fee for state filing.
I always like to say, editions labeled SE are the “Shit Edition”
