Yeah, it seems petty to punish people for not being among the first to buy the Neo. That extra GPU core would not be a selling point. The fact that the MacBook Neo, with its binned A18 Pro, can play Cyberpunk, but my iPhone 16 Pro Max, with a regular A18 Pro, cannot, is already an advantage over my phone which cost over twice as much.

It's worth noting at this point that phones not having AAA games is down to developers. Any game on the Switch 1 can run on your iPhone if your iPhone gets major updates. Any game on the Switch 2 can run on newer iPhones. Because those games were coded for ARM64. The only reason we don't have Skyrim on the iPhone is because Bethesda hasn't put it in the App Store. They already did the work. But they decided people wouldn't pay $60 for a phone game. So they transitioned it into a free-to-play piece of shit called The Elder Scrolls: Blades and nobody liked it. They can let Skyrim go on sale for $10-20 on Steam and the Switch store, but they can't swallow their pride and drop it on the App Store for $20? The game is 15 years old. But they've already done the work. This idea that you need an Xbox, a PlayStation, or a "gaming PC" to play AAA games is a farce. Even if you have a recent Android phone, you have the necessary performance. Phones running both platforms have had desktop performance for years now.
