Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Our reading

    iPhones start a sustained processing task at peak performance and then throttle down to a lower level after a couple of minutes.

    Their wordsiPhones always start out really high, and then after a couple minutes will throttle down and settle somewhere.

  2. Our reading

    MacBook Pros sustain peak processing performance indefinitely during heavy workloads without throttling down like iPhones do.

    Their wordsthe MacBook Pro just starts going and will literally just keep in the same performance window from now until the end of time.
