Whoever leaked that it would drop iPhone 11 is going to find themselves finding a new job soon.

Probably leaker bait.

AI wasn't even useful 4 years ago so no.


Except if you don't have the memory, you can't even run the models. While an older neural engine would simply run it slower.


Literally false.



Ultra 1 was released 2022 which means chip designers would have nearly finished the chip design in 2020. ChatGPT 3 was released in 2020.

You're literally wrong.
Keep telling yourself it’s about memory and not about moving $800 units every few years. I am done here.

Okay, that was a really unexpected surprise. Those performance improvements will be super welcome on my legendary iPhone 11. It's still running iOS 18.7.8, but think it'll finally be time to upgrade. Thanks, Apple. And thank you to everyone who stayed on iOS 18. We clearly told Apple what we disliked about iOS 26.
