The 120 Hz refresh is something I slightly noticed and did appreciate when upgrading. Now when going back to an older device 60 Hz is jarring.
e.g.
- if my Mum could understand my presentation, then I've found a good level for non-specialists to also understand it quickly
To apply it in this case, would my Mum notice or care about the difference between a 60Hz and 120Hz phone screen? I'm pretty sure not, and therefore I'd extrapolate that a vast majority of Apple's userbase wouldn't either.
It's not a scam just one of the many side effects that inevitably occur when doing a major connector transition.
I know, but as a paying customer I don't care what their bs technical limitation was when my old Samsung Note 3 had USB 3.0 10 years ago so it's not like USB 3.0 is some brand new sci-fi tech that's difficult to figure out like EUV litography.
How's this for a fix: They could have put the newer SoC with USB 3.0 in those phones as well and not artificially gimp them like that.
How can I not feel scammed when a company treats it's customers like that?
Apple doesn’t hide that they want to push the “Pro” line and are comfortable not giving too much “new” to the non-Pro models. The iPhone keynote is even split where one is for the lower models and another is for the Pro.
