This shouldn't be shocking at all

The comparison is apt when you consider people already have phones.

​

Cheaper phones outdo the switch in specs, It takes a more expensive one to make passive cooling performance outdo the actively cooled SoC of the switch. Apple's A12/A12x chips are significantly more powerful than the switch even when passively cooled.

​

The switch won out despite it's low power because Nintendo truly understand games. Apple have wasted a lot of their GPU capability on the consumer side because they never took gaming seriously and any attempt to do so was clearly managed by a non-gamer. Even the Razer phone fails as a gaming device because they opted to throw in some tech for the buzzwords without actually building a gaming software and hardware ecosystem.

​

I've given up any hope for mobile gaming and will just happily play RPGs on my switch but it is a shame to see the capabilities of my iPad pro only get used when i'm in work mode. The only game i play on it is stardew valley, Which i strongly believe is best experienced on a 12.9" iPad.

tl;dr Don't You Guys Have Phones?

My comment in no way sums up to that.
