I know it’s been a running joke for years now, but jesus christ the iPhones still start at 128GB and the regular 16 is still 60Hz and USB 2.0.

    On one hand, yeah that isn’t great. On the other hand, would you literally ever notice? My new phone is 6 years newer and multiple times faster than my old one and the only functional difference I’ve noticed is OLED screen vs not OLED. Nothing ever lagged before due to hardware, hasn’t changed. Unless I’m using my phone as a USB drive, cord speed doesn’t matter. I presume I have 3.0 speeds from USB c, but it could be slower than 1.0 and I wouldn’t notice. 6 years of storage on my old phone got it to like 25gb used including the OS.

        I used to, should do it again for when internet drops. Idk when USB C phones started being 3.0 so I’m not sure if what I was getting before was 3.0 or if I wouldn’t care. (Redmi note 8 pro is old phone if you care to compare at all)

      I can’t even begin to explain how much I notice it. So much that I made it my mission to replace all the screens I use with at least 120Hz, and I’m not even a gamer.

        My laptop is 144hz and I leave my phone on 60 for battery reasons and I’ve not noticed any issues using my phone. Scrolled my app menu back and forth quickly to see if I was just ignoring it but that seemed fine.
