I remember trying Windows XP tablets at CeBIT 2004. Apple released their first Tablet in 2010. There‘s releasing something that does a job and there‘s releasing something that does the job. What I‘ve seen from Android foldables was underwhelming, Apple could do something differently, which still fits into the category but has improved aspects not only Apple considers necessary to release such a device.

You‘re right. That‘s why we need a strong EU and multilateral partnerships to counter US and Chinese ambitions.

Correct. But hardware is not the problem here, I‘d say.

Just like him. It‘s a match made in ~~heaven~~ hell.

It‘s a duopoly and I doubt the US will tackle this problem. At least the EU has started doing something about it.

The whole world will move on, sure. But I think you‘ll stay wound up a little longer as this brain sprain of yours seems to have worn you out quite a bit. I hope, AI may solve this problem for you in the future. I heard loads of RAM help with that.

You still haven‘t come up with a multitasking smartphone use case that an iPhone can‘t handle compared to an Android smartphone due to lack of RAM.

Sure. I have just never encountered any problems. I used to, to be honest, as mentioned back with the iPhone 4 where Safari tabs were reloading because of the lack of RAM. But Android had its own problems back then, for example with the update policy of most manufacturers leaving my wife‘s Android phone obsolete after only one year.

What exactly do you do? Hook up your smartphone as a desktop replacement with a bulky USB dongle, firing up some CAD software on two 6K displays while rendering an 8K HDR video in the background? People never disappoint creating completely made-up scenarios just to discredit.

Never talked about tablets, so it’s reading – again!

I work with my Mac every day. It‘s not a toy. I chose the platform in the early 2000s because I liked the OS, the far superior app experience across many 3rd party apps and because I like to work with things I like aesthetically. I chose a 32 GB MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and paid for the upgrade. Because I could and because I wanted to (100% tax deduction helped as well). No need for pity or anything.

Okay. But why is it that Android phones don‘t all just have 128 GB of RAM built in, then? I‘m still talking about smartphones only. And there, RAM is completely irrelevant for users unless it‘s a necessity for the OS and for apps to run well. This is the case for Android smartphones. This is not the case for iPhones. Because everything you want to do just works, without thinking about RAM. This has been the case since the iPhone X.

But here it seems to be really hard to accept that getting an iPhone is the far superior choice for many people, also for tech savvy people. While others choose an Android smartphone and are happy with that.

And for computers: just accept that it‘s plain economy calculus to offer 8 GB RAM as standard because this will lead more buyers to choose an upgrade and pay more than the standard price, instead of accusing Apple to offer this without this plan in mind. Just don‘t buy these machines and continue your life as a superior tech being, where companies like Samsung or Dell have the sole purpose to make as little profit as possible.

I‘m talking about smartphones. Funny that you‘d call me bright lights when you even lack the basic skill of reading.

Never had any problems with „multitasking“ there since the iPhone 5.

That‘s exactly what I was criticizing. So how is “more RAM = better“ as an absolute statement right, then?
