I'm a longtime iPhone and Mac user who isn't likely to switch to a new ecosystem anytime soon. It's not just about iOS or macOS. It's about having these devices work together to support my computing needs. And performance plays a key role as well.
That's why I'm excited to hear rumors that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 might beat the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro performance and that Microsoft believes its next-gen Windows on Arm AI PCs running on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite platform will outperform the M3 MacBooks that Apple just launched.
This type of competition will not benefit me immediately. But any pressure on Apple in the chip department, particularly as on-device AI becomes a thing, will ultimately lead to faster, better-optimized A-series and M-series chips.
