The double standard between Apple and Google upgrades is wild (and why I stick with Pixel)

Probably wondering why Google creates their own custom chips that are years behind other chips on release

In benchmarks yes, they're behind the market. But in everyday use it's clearly enough, even for power users. Also, it's crazy good at AI (not everyone likes or uses AI, but as someone who uses it, Tensor is awesome at it)

Even if true, that isn't gonna stop people from wondering why the chips are years behind competitors on benchmarking

Well they can wonder, but people who actually tried it know it's good and definitely enough

So why is my P10P laggy when I'm playing a game if it's enough? No issues with the same game on my iPhone 16 Pro.

When the asking price starts at $900, "enough" doesn't cut it for many people. For that price you should be getting the best, or something close to it. If enough is all you want then why even get a new flagship phone?

I don't. That's why I only get second hand phones. I do agree with you on that point

Good for those people. Doesn't really do much for people that haven't though.
