@AI_EmeraldApple @geoffkeighley How sad and pathetic must you be to see Geoff post about this and think 'I should really tell him this is going to be an insult to his late father because I don't like a film I haven't seen'

Genuinely, seek therapy.

@ClubKamui Oh joy the performative contrarians are coming for LOTR now...

[Jake @coldframed]

@rosecransaint @ianzelbo @MakerInParadise That's true, but as large language models for apple intelligence will be on device moving forward, heat will increase as local compute does, so efficency improvements may not result in an overall reduction in heat but instead simply retain the current level. (I hope I'm wrong)

@MakerInParadise @ianzelbo iPhone is the central pillar of the entire Apple ecosystem. You can dream all you want about it becoming a $3000 overpowered device, but that's not the reality of building a mass market product no matter how much you, in your niche, see it's value.

[Jake @coldframed]

@MakerInParadise @ianzelbo You will see a price bump in September for the 18 models, but it will only be a few 100 bucks. it's one of the reasons so many other products that aren't RAM impacted have had price bumps, to help absorb the cost of keeping iPhone as affordable as they can.

[Jake @coldframed]

@MakerInParadise @ianzelbo You may be willing to pay 3k for a phone with top specs, but the average consumer is not. You are in a niche category of consumers (as am I). so we don't have the bargaining power with a brand as mainstream as Apple when their consumer target is 'as many as fiscally possible'

[Jake @coldframed]

@MakerInParadise @ianzelbo And to your point about using stainless steel - again it suffers the heat dissipation issue, which is the primary reason they changed materials. The cost is just an additional factor, but the heat is the primary issue.

[Jake @coldframed]

@MakerInParadise @ianzelbo Not to mention the chosen alternative is 1. More cost efficient to manufacture for the whole device 2. Is the optimal material for cooling 3. is way cheaper and more stable in cost to acquire as a material and 4. Is easier to work with for things like component integration.

[Jake @coldframed]

@MakerInParadise @ianzelbo It would bring up the manufacturing cost considerably since it's a much harder material to work. We're in the midst of an era of hardware that is vastly cost inflated by RAM, so no manufacturer is going to touch expensive processes just to appease the few who care about this.

[Jake @coldframed]

@ianzelbo @MakerInParadise They are not going to use titanium again, it gets far too hot, and as phones get more powerful, the heat problem will only increase. Aluminium is a vastly superior material for cooling and heat dissapation which is why its used in the updated design and won't be going away.

Went to see and meet Roger Deakins today for his new book Reflections, and during the audience Q&A someone genuinely tried to explain what HDR is to Roger Deakins…

@G_N_G1 @Hidden1837 @Glassdoorgamer This is such a funny complaint when Greg Miller is arguably Starfields biggest fan, he loves that game lmao.

[Jake @coldframed]

@shinobi602 This is nothing more than hardware manufacturers trying to set false expectations that when the price does fall again, their prices won’t come back down to match. To assume spending from these shitty AI companies will remain this high long term isn’t even stupid, it’s just a lie.

[Jake @coldframed]

@IllusionNick_ @dumfairyy @madeon This was also a common complaint of Porter Robinsons Nurture - but that’s pretty commonly considered Porters best work now.

Granted, Porters use was woven into the central themes of that record, but it’s still been interesting seeing a lot of similarities in initial reactions.

[Jake @coldframed]

@OrangeSmileCat Crazy to make this joke when this is the absolute peak of 'unemployed sad tween' behaviour.

[Jake @coldframed]

@SkyAsassino All of the talent that made Destiny are gone. Even if they made Destiny 3, today they lost 99% of institutional knowledge on how to even make Destiny. It's barely Bungie anymore, it's just a random conglomerate of newer devs, a few old leads and is now all ran by Sony CEOs buddy.
