    The main advantage of using custom silicon is that you can decide the naming and so you deceive users that the minor 0.1 update is a full generation advance

    Kinda like I saw someone saying “apple skipped A17 for the iPhone 16 and gave the faster A18” - they’re in charge of the naming and they can easily decide that A18 = A17

      This is not true. A17 pro is an existing chip that is slower than the A18. It wouldn’t make sense to call A18 A17 instead
