just a drawing but https://twitter.com/rhl__/status/13...se-not-original shows the minimal size differences. reviews are about as someone suggested earlier, that physically there’s little difference but the mini is ever so slightly more awkward because there’s just more screen to navigate with your thumb

my thumb is precisely calibrated to the SE. giving me more screen in the same sized body is not acceptable. tim will pay for this!

tbh I’d love an iPhone that is as tall as new mini, maybe slightly shorter, and much more narrow. iMessage, email, basic web browsing, a couple of apps designed for the ui, and a camera. then a bigger device that’s for everything else. it’s an unreasonably luxury idea, i know, but i like the flexibility of going light when i really want to, and having a big display when i don’t. the apple watch would theoretically do some of this but you’re obviously not going to, say, read on one.

went from a 6s to a 12 mini, it's smaller than the 6s (and therefore smaller than the SE2) and the square sides feel way nicer, less like a slippery bar of soap and more like an easy to grip bar of soap

The Management posted:m1 Mac reviews are out. it’s a goddamn monster. the relevant anand test: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested as expected things look a bit more nuanced now that we have a broader set of benchmarks, seems to be trading hits with high-end (laptop model) zen3 pretty evenly, both single-threaded and same-count multithreaded. it is likely running in a thinner power envelope as well though. rosetta 2 has something like a 25% hit in the benchmarks, which is pretty drat good. will be real interest to see the fanless performance, i doubt anything will touch the m1 there for some time.

the most important benchmark: 91% battery remaining after spending 20 minutes compiling webkit is pretty impressive too. might actually be able to use it for a few hours of dev work without power

I see no reason for me to get a new one right now. I’ll get a new one when Apple stops supporting the og se. Maybe I’ll get the 12 mini or the newest mini iPhone, if there will be one.

apparently electron apps will have their performance significantly (source formatting) degraded under rosetta 2, and electron apps may interact badly with fat apps and fully double in size instead of just duplicating the actual binaries (that's a guess) lol

that's because xcode is 95% native code, electron should be able to get away with only having arm and x86 variants for the core runtime and sharing the JS between them. but I'm guessing their packager doesn't work like that and it will output a complete copy of the JS for each target architecture until they put in the work to make it stop doing that

I’ll tbh the 7 was always a compromise, it was ok but the size and shape made it less than ideal. the 12 mini is going to be my favorite for several years yet.
