I don’t think you can use that argument yet. I’m not sure we’ve quite reached the tipping point where all phones are so fast, that you need some special use case to notice performance differences.

My iPhone SE is only 2 years old and there are websites that give it trouble still.

As opposed to my 6 year old Air where I can’t tell the difference in performance with my work laptop unless I’m running multiple docker instances or transcoding some video.

Maybe the A12 is the tipping point. 7 years from now, all phones will be at least this fast.

I have a Motorola g6 plus, which, together with uBlock origin browse the web just fine, and I only block the worst offenders.

The only thing I notice is that my tuner (Tunable) starts about the same speed as it does on my friends old iPhone 5. There is some touch input latency, but I'm not so easily bothered.

Which web pages are too heavy for your SE?
