Where do you even still buy 60Hz displays, honestly 😭

If you're a content creator planning to buy the iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max for video recording, this post is for you. Don't go for the 1TB and 2TB variants, both come with slower QLC storage. Once your phone is 60% full, write speeds can drop to 1MB/s, as slow as an old SD card. The 256GB and 512GB variants of the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max come with TLC storage, which is newer and faster.
I mean, why Apple? This is not what we expected from you. With Android smartphones, the lower storage and RAM variants get the older memory type, while the higher variants get the newer, better one, and that's how it should be. We're paying more, so we deserve better read and write speeds.

Apple’s new focus on influencers for events and product “reviews” — people who say nothing but positive things and never ask a legitimate question of Apple executives in exchange for free devices, travel and more, is a serious issue. This echo chamber will lead to mediocrity.

I predict we will get a lot of early "reviews" from Apple YouTubers who try and show that 8gb of ram is enough and that it performs well.
Then after the review they go back to their $4000 MacBook pro and only use the Neo to show off on camera.
The issue is, the Neo will probably perform fine out of the box with minimal programs installed. But after months of installing programs, it will bog down. The Apple YouTubers won't talk about that because they don't actually use the machine.
I think I'm a little less impressed with the new MacBook Neo than a lot of people are.
The $600 model comes with 256gb. That's not enough for people buying a laptop to use for several years, especially students.
So you upgrade to 512gb, but now the price is $700. Not terrible, but the kicker is that you still only get 8gb of ram.
The A18 Pro is a fine chip. I believe it will give similar performance to M1, maybe slightly better even. But we all know 8gb ram MacBooks have not aged well. Even for the low price, we still need a level of future proofing that I don't think is happening here.
Makes much more sense to catch an M4, M3, or even M2 MacBook Air on sale for a similar price with 16gb ram.
I think if Apple simply put 12 or 16gb of ram it would have made a lot more sense.

This will be the reason the "AI bubble" bursts..
The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.
