You realize you're just arguing semantics right?


While Apple did not specifically claim a 4x real world performance improvement, it's pretty obvious that's what they're implying to their potential customers, and that's what irks most people who have issues with Apple's claim.

For me to be arguing semantics, means you are too, if you're arguing against me.

Honestly, to me, they didn't imply 4x faster real world performance. To me, they said, OK, our screen is awesome, so we had to shove in a GPU which is 4x higher.

To dumb people, clearly this may be misleading, but all companies are guilty of the same 'white lies'.

And we're not average customers - we're analysing the claim at a technical level.

Finally - arguably, even removing the semantics they are still correct, since the GPU can render at the lower resolution and upscale. Which WOULD mean up to 4x faster real life performance.
