Shamefull.. An product with such potential but always being let down by Apple.. To me an minimum upgrade would be an 90hz screen with a18 pro and stage manager..

Apple doesn’t do 90hz if I’m not wrong

They certainly could if they wanted to. For a while they didn't do 120 or OLED or USB. You can just use the 120 Hertz capable displays but Nerf the refresh rate to 90 to preserve battery or to push people towards more expensive models.

I mean s*** even like the Pixel 7a has a 90 hz display. Hell I think Samsung has budget devices that cost like $150 with 120 hz
