This article is slop.


I like what Kagi are doing, even though I don’t pay for their search engine. I’ve been enjoying browsing the Kagi Small Web portal recently.


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?


If you are wondering what exactly is causing the freezes and hangs, the culprit is the “Secure-Boot-Update scheduled task”. As the name suggests, this runs a scheduled Secure Boot update whenever you are online or connected to the internet. That is why many affected users initially thought the issue was related to the internet as they noticed the bug won’t show up when they were offline.
I’ve seen this talk before, but right at the beginning he links this blog-post which I didn’t read the last time: https://blog.aurynn.com/2015/12/16-contempt-culture
It’s worth linking here because it’s highly relevant to these kinds of discussions, and I like that he starts off his video acknowledging it.
