Reply to comment by Carrera992 in Question on CPU/GPU power of 14 Pro Max by Carrera992

Thanks for explaining. You might be missing the point: your shiny new phone makes almost no difference in performance for most apps. You’d have been perfectly happy with the older, slower phone for a few more years.

Enjoy the tangible features. Don’t buy the latest and greatest if there aren’t any.

Ok good to know. Thank you for explaining. Only reason I got this is they gave my $800 for my 12 which I know I’ll never get again. I guess I was expecting to see a noticeable difference like upgrading a 3090 to a 4090 GPU

Upgrading a 3090 to a 4090 also makes almost no difference for the average user, it will only be noticeable in certain games and/or on a 4K display. In these scenarios you’d notice it on the iPhone as well, but there are almost no apps that utilise the power of the SoC fully like that.
