Dan Luu @danluu / I've been reading old articles about mobile performance and I think it's interesting how quickly pessimistic predictions were invalidated, e.g., here's a '13 post on why JS web apps will be unusably slow on mobile CPUs for the foreseeable future, where the top HN comment agrees.
この後にも話が続いていて、"Contra the quoted post & comment, Apple started really running away from the competition in mobile performance circa 2015 and producing mobile chips with performance that was at least semi-competitive with typical consumer laptop & non-gaming desktop chips circa 2018. / OTOH, bloat has outpaced hardware, e.g., opening up current apps on my unbelievably fast iPhone is slower than opening old apps on a 2013 iPhone (I tried the major apps on my phone; it's now 2s to 6s before the app is usable) / The prediction was correct, but for the wrong reasons" となっている。いまの iPhone の方が遅いという話は前にも Hacker News で話題になってたな。それも、この人物の記事だったはずだ。
