Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models simultaneously, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 17 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect from Apple's 2025 smartphone lineup.
If you skipped the iPhone...
According to Apple, your looking at 5 hours of battery life, that's with wireless on, browsing websites and the display at 50%. 4.5 Hours for the 17 incher.
So without wireless and the display pretty dimmed down, we're looking at 6 hours? I'll wait for the official tests.
Just makes me want to get a MacBook Pro again...each update better then the other.
For those who have been waiting -- was this really worth it?
Yes. VERY MUCH. The people who don't like this update are either made at themselves for not waiting or are one of those people that are never satisfied.
My question is what kind of difference would the L2 cache make (form 3 to 6 MB)?
where on the store does it say Penryn? I see "Core Duo"
This "Penryn" or "Coppermine" junk is just code names for sometimes-trivial improvements in Intel CPUs. As the code names are followed only by CPU enthusiasts you won't ever see them on Apple marketing materials.
sorry where are you getting that from? The processor is described exactly as it was yesterday, core duo, no speed change. What tells you thats' Penryn?
Dude, try learning what penryn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2) is.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
