It goes away if the person with conspiratorial neurosis dies of cancer because they refused to get the cancer vaccine, though.

Meta spent $10 billion this year on VR, but they're a social media company, not a hardware manufacturer, so a lot of that was spent on things that Apple has already solved. Apple's annual R&D budget is $28 billion, and if the rumors of an impending headset are true, that means they've been working on it for years at this point. They've most likely outspent Meta by now, while having the advantage of decades of experience producing top tier hardware and operating systems, plus hundreds of hardware and software patents in their back pocket.

Thanks for that, her performance is spectacular.

Yeah, the article says that Apple is using the same Snapdragon modem that most current Android models are using. I couldn't tell you why the iPhones are faster, but Apple has historically been able to wring a lot of juice out of their devices. iOS needs and uses less RAM than Android, for example, and iOS has had low-latency MIDI for a decade or more, while many Android devices still struggle with it. But, who knows? Also, this speed test was only conducted in the U.S. and the U.K., so it's not necessarily the case that iPhones are faster at 5G everywhere.

You're complaining to the wrong person, I just pointed out who conducted the study.

MacWorld is one of the biggest sites on the web for Apple news, so this shouldn't come as a shock. The study was done by Ookla, which has no affiliation with Apple or MacWorld.
