Yes competitors may have worthy opponents to the M1 "just around the corner".

But do you think that Apple stopped innovating after releasing the M1 last year? Don't you think the M2 (or M1X whatever it's called) is well into design and prototyping at this point?

The broader point, I think, is that Apple has never really competed on specs before. Not meaningfully, anyway. They’ve competed on whole product. Competing on specs opens them up to new challenges.

This is like people obsessing over the amount of RAM in iPhones.

Just because it matters on Android, which is a COMPLETELY different system, doesn't mean it matters as much on iOS.

Yes, it matters a bit when switching between multiple apps, but app suspend is handled in a completely different way on iOS than on Android.

Apples to Oranges.
