It’s honestly amazing what these chips can do.
Unfortunately it’s stuck behind the Apple ecosystem.
Linux is inevitable
Apple will fight it with everything they can. Latest MacOS27 hides linux partitions from the bootpicker so it is blocked in firmware.
Not exactly, the bootpicker just won’t show partitions that are not flagged as bootable. This is a departure from previous versions, that would check to see whether partitions were bootable without looking at the flag, and took a little bit of investigating to figure out this undocumented behavior, but it is an easy fix:
I’m sure many will disagree but I don’t see a point to this; it’s neat I guess but why?
Edir: Well, I’m listening…
More speed means you can do more stuff faster
The phone has been out for 10 days and this article is from 6 days before it was released.
Why are we looking at an “early benchmark” from before release instead of an actual real benchmark of the device. I don’t get why Geekbench doesn’t have results for iPhone 18, or why this “early benchmark” calls it “iPhone19,2.”
If true, the single core performance of this chip is almost identical to the single-core performance of the new M6 chip.
Something doesn’t seem right, but I don’t know a lot about Geekbench or iOS benchmarks to know if this seems legit or not.
Edit: apparently they haven’t shipped yet?
What reason do you have to believe these would be significantly different from the public release ones? They were all manufactured weeks or months ago.
