Don't fall for the bullshit and I won't tell you that you fell for it.
Or, at least if you do fall for the bullshit, don't post it here.

Apple has _never_ made a best-in-class SOC in its entire history.
Apple can't.

All Apple can do is propaganda.
Never forget Apple's R&D is the _lowest_ in all of high tech.

Not a single similar company spends _less_ than does Apple in R&D.
Nor more in marketing propaganda.

TSMC SILICON! *TSMC SILICON!* TSMC SILICON! (big deal, everyone uses TSMC).
ARM TECHNOLOGY! *ARM TECHNOLOGY!* ARM TECHNOLOGY! (wow, big deal there too).

Apple spent more to buy Qualcomm's modem than my entire phone cost.
And even then, Apple can't figure out how to _integrate_ that bought modem.
Meanwhile, almost every smartphone manufacture figured it out long ago.

And don't get me started on Apple CPUs that are so unstable that Apple
becomes _desperate_ to secretly throttle them (and backdate release notes).

Apple has never designed a best-in-class SOC in its entire history.
Hell, Apple can't even design their own GPU for Christ's sake.

Sandman wrote:

The details are that iKooks fall for the Apple bullshit propaganda.
The details are that Apple CPUs are all bullshit propaganda and no R&D.

Apple spends _more_ on touting that it's "*TSMC SILICON*!!!!*
than in actual design (considering it's all ARM technology).

Nobody on the adult OS newsgroups falls for mothership propaganda.
Only those on the child-like Apple newsgroups fall for the propaganda.

Apple spends _less_ in R&D than any high tech company on this planet.
And more in advertising their propaganda than any other company on earth.

You fall for it.
Nobody on the adult OS newsgroups touts *INTEL INSIDE!* like you do.

That's like saying the 5G modem that Apple can't integrate is Apple's modem.

Sure, Apple spends more per phone on just the Qualcomm modem than my entire
Android phone costs, and yet my Android phone does more than the most
expensive iPhone ever designed can do.

Apple brands their "TSMC Silicon" chip as if that's a big deal.
Apple touts that they use "ARM technology" as if that's a big deal.

Earth to iKooks: Everyone uses TSMC fabs and ARM technology. Not just Apple.

Apple has never designed a best-in-class SOC in its entire history.
The reason is that Apple is all MARKETING and almost no R&D to speak of.

Even Apple's vaunted CPUs are so unstable that Apple felt _desperate_ to
secretly throttle them (and to secretly change the release notes).

The fact is that Apple can't even integrate an existing modem that they
bought from someone else, let alone design a CPU using 100% other people's
technology that, even then, doesn't need throttling to remain stable.

Lewis wrote:

Adults notice iKooks can never respond to facts without turning into what
they are, which is childish low-IQ uneducated ignorant kindergarten kids.

The facts remain Apple's R&D is the _lowest_ in all of high tech bar none.
And Apple's propaganda machine is the highest.

Apple likely spends ten times more in touting their crappy CPUs than in
actually doing the design work even as almost everything they bought.

It's TSMC Silicon (which Apple tries to rebrand as their own)
It's ARM technology (which Apple tries to rebrand as their own)

Apple has _never_ made a best-in-class SOC in its entire history.
And Apple never will.

Why?
Because Apple is all marketing and almost zero R&D, that's why.

And you iKooks fall for it.
Ask me why and you'll find three reasons for why:
a. You're uneducated
b. You're of low IQ
c. You have low self esteem

You gain all your self esteem off of what Apple feeds you to feel.

Read your question again. The OS sandboxing prevented the app
to utilize any speed to read the ipad user guide on the ipad. The
app had an app speed of ZERO because of sandboxing; if you
double the cpu speed, the app reading speed is still ZERO.

sandboxing had nothing to do with what you claim happened.

The Books app has been considered junkier than iBooks. There is
reason why Marvin, MapleRead & FBReader is installed onto many
ipads for READing. The point is that a "faster" cpu does not matter
in all cases as an ebook reader is not able to see where the ebook
is residing for an app to use. Even my purchased explorer app is
not able to find the ipad user guide much less being able to read
the ebook "faster". The claims of PCMag & others that the ipad is
the best tablet device for reading is false; of course, some even say
that an e-ink reader is best for the eyes when reading.

There are many postings about the negative of being "locked into"
the Amazon envionment; but being locked into the apple ecology
is even worst as it also included hardware in the past & looks to
becoming the current & future with special chips in order for the apple
computer to 'see, recognize, connect & use' the device.

I've never seen any of those apps installed on any iPad. The only apps
I've ever seen people use for reading books are Libby (for library
books), Kindle (for amazon's shitty format), and Books (for epubs and
iBooks).

But that is not relevant, because for the iBooks format, only the Books
app can read those books. They are much improved ePub books with many
features that other ebook formats do not include.

That sentence started off seeming like it was going to make sense, but
nope.

No, it is not. I've been using my iPad for reading since I first got an
iPad, even though I own multiple kindles. The iPad is much better, and
continues to be better.

An app that doesn't "know where the ipad is located on the ipad" isn't

Narrow minded. You should check on the Mobileread forum about
apps for reading on an ipad by people who do lots of reading. You
probably don't even use Calibre to keep track of your books. The
books purchased from apple is not a "special" format but just the
open epub format with apple's own DRM.

Insults are the only option you can communicate? guess that is
what apple fanatics can do aside being very NARROW MINDED.
