    They released the $400 iPad mini 6th gen on the same day, and with the same chipets, as their $1000 iPhone 13 Pro. If they’re serious about selling “console-quality” games they should get to it on the thing that people already have connected to their TV.

      I mean it just seems sort of insane to use 3nm silicon companies like Nvidia are desperate to sell GPUs costing tens of thousands with margins of well over 500% on… selling a smart TV box? Saving a few dimes on bandwidth for the minority of users that are Apple TV+ subscribers? Helping push games which most Apple TV users don’t play?

      I wouldn’t be shocked if the last gen chip can just brute force av1 decode in software too. It just seems hilariously uneconomical.
