I remember this video, from way back. Then, it was impressive, but it also felt logical that machines of that era were able to do it. So it wasn't magic. Just good engineering. Now everything is jank & stutter and my 64GB 25 times more powerful machine just refused to play back a YouTube video in my Safari tab since I have too many windows open.

My iPhone 16 Pro is the jankiest user experience I’ve had on a new iPhone ever. On my Mac the settings app pauses and stutters. Jobs would have thrown things if he ever saw this.

My base 2019 macbook pro 15 on Mojave is actually faster than new macbook pros today on some tasks.

There’s no way Apple doesn’t know about that internally. So I don’t see any other explanation… other than a lack of care, or a bozo explosion.
