Apple does the thing with screens where they cycle between more shatter resistant and more scratch resistant and tout “3x more shatter/scratch resistant than the previous model”

Don’t forget “up to…”

My apologies for bringing insane US politics into a non-political post but I saw an example of this just today.

Not Apple though. Apple just hand waves the numbers.

False. They also stick fake numbers in there with zero regard for consistency.

That’s a difference of 100.000.000Hz, so it is totally legit to show it like this. /s

It depends on what are you are trying to compare

I guess a good way to view it is, a stand mixer, a hand mixer and a whisk. All have purposes… but you have to be using the right tool for the right workload to get the best performance.

It isn’t better to scramble 6 eggs with a stand mixer before you put them in the pan, just use a fork. Doesn’t mean the stand mixer won’t blow the fork away when making ground beef.

very odd its not going 3.18, 3.211115, 3.222224, 3.233333 must be before the ipo announcement
