Watch for iPads to run PS5 tier graphics soon enough. With an OLED display too? Mama mia. And these iPhones will gain in performance every year. 

The M1-M2 chips are legit, M3 is gonna be crazy. Apple's silicon is amazing and they get access to the best node processes over anyone (Sony is not even on the radar). 3nm is theirs for now. 

I think this is going to be a turning point for the industry more than people think.

Also great for Mac gaming in general, think lots of devs will make games for Apple silicon and now they know they can scale all the way from a Macbook Pro to an iPhone as they all use the same family of processors (ie: Death Stranding was announced for M1 Macs, but it today was also announced for iPhone because it's likely the same version just scaled in settings). 

Dumping x86 while I was skeptical about it at first was the best thing Apple ever did. 

Let me know when the iPad has a 55 inch screen and Dolby atmos surround sound speakers.  

Also I wouldn't touch Apple and their closed systems.  

Plus when something seems to good to be true....  well you know what they say.  I'm simply not buying these mobile chips are going to do what is being promised.  

55-inch screen? lol, this is 2023, Apple devices can easily stream to any kind of TV via AirPlay. If Apple releases like just a dock for the iPad, which is a fairly simple thing to let it full clock ... gonna get real interesting real fast.

The M1-M2 chips have been put through their paces, they're legit. Apple's iPhone processors also get benchmarked to death. Their performance is legit. They make incredible chips, that's just all there is to it, and they have more sway than any other manufacturer so they get access to all the best and latest transistor nodes. 

The iPhone 15 is the worst the graphics will ever be. It will get better and better every year from that point on for console games. 

About I think 7-8 years ago, Apple really started to buckle down and make processing power a big priority because they were running out of ways to keep selling iPhones and lagging behind Android in a lot of ways. Well it's really paid off, today iPhone market share is on the rise, Android is sinking, and in the US they totally dominate the teenager/college age demographic.
