"Up to 23x faster performance"^4

4: Testing conducted by Apple in January 2025 using preproduction 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M4, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 32GB of RAM, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and 16GB of RAM, all configured with 2TB SSD. Tested using Super Resolution with Pixelmator Pro 3.6.14 and a 4.4MB image. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Air.

What a garbage piece of marketing, I can't believe they posted this on their official website. I used to like Apple, but virtually everything they've done over the past few years has made me despise them more and more. Excited to ditch my iPhone.



People will defend this kind of intellectual dishonesty forever.

"But they should compare to ancient laptops in case anyone is switching between these specific models!"

10 years from now I'll be reading the same justification for 200x speed increase benchmark.
