Ask HN: iPhone Chips vs. App experience

3 points by filipo ↗ HN
It is really great to see Apple announcing A14 Bionic chips with 5nm architecture... on the other hand, my iPhone 11 Pro still struggles to scroll Twitter (mostly text, a few auto-playing videos)...

Why is app optimization still such a poor experience? and what is the purpose of even faster chips when Software optimization still suffers like that...? Shouldn't list scrolling be better understood by now?

As a developer myself (but not a mobile developer) things like that feel incredible frustrating.
