How do phones get faster every year?

911 views

Like when apple releases a new iPhone and there’s a new A17 bionic chip, or whatever they’re on now, how is it 40% faster than the last one? What did they discover in 1 year to make it faster? Why didn’t they make these changes in the last one??

The elephant in the room is that the chips are throttled to reduce capacity from their actual capabilities, so the company can simulate regular innovation and motivate people to upgrade devicesmore often

If they sold a chip at full capacity the first year it was available, people would be less interested in upgrading their device until the a new chip was actually developed.

Differences between last year’s phone and this year’s phone are already usually miniscule, companies use this tactic and many others to make the devices seem more different than they actually are.
