  • Users report iPhone 15 is overheating
    I suspect they are trying to compete in the console market without having a console per se. AFAIK the iPhone 15 Pro has 1/3rd of the TFLOPs of the Playstation 5. They also have a smooth TV-connectivity system. Most people who have consoles in the US already have an iPhone in their pocket. Now you just need a controller, some kind of dock for the phone, and pay off a lot of devs to make games for the platform to... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
  • Hi. It seems that everybody is using the GPTK on its own to run games for them to play... Does this tool really help for game development to actually port a game for a commercial penetration to MAC environments?
    Hmm, I don't think that's how they have presented it from watching all the WWDC videos. From the link I sent (https://developer.apple.com/metal/) it's also in a different header. But this is probably kind of a pointless semantics argument haha. Maybe internally Apple can't agree on this anyway. Source: 10 months ago
  • Personal GPT: A tiny AI Chatbot that runs fully offline on your iPhone
    Barring 3D games, this is perhaps one of the heavier apps that run on a phone. The model takes up about 2.2GB of memory, which is more than half of the memory on most iPhones (except the 12, 13 Pro Maxes and 14 series). Also LLM inference is surprisingly light on the CPU, but quite GPU intensive (because the iOS app uses Metal). So I guess the analogy of games is quite apt. Source: 10 months ago
