For the last 4 years the A chips have significantly outperformed other mobile processors. Apple's A series chips are so fast the A12Z outperforms even PC processors. That's why Apple is working on dumping Intel chips and working on their own CPU for MacBooks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why workers should have some sort of PPE too e.g. surgical masks. It's a balancing act between the economy and human lives. We need to save as many lives as possible while keeping sufficient of the economy still running, so that when the crisis is over the economy can bounce back as fast as possible with most of the economy still intact. If the economy is completely shut down, firms will collapse, leading to less consumption and it's a downward spiral from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think it was essential for Apple to release a phone right now in order not to collapse? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even about Apple collapsing or not. Nobody is forcing consumers to buy the iPhone SE anyway. I still don't understand why you're so against Apple releasing a new budget phone.

Oooh thank you sooo much Apple, what wouldn't we do without you First of dear, nobody needs a new iPhone. You may need a new phone, but if you think you need a new iPhone during a global pandemic, I suggest you check your priorities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
