I feel people nowadays upgrade out of battery degradation rather than new features/specs.
phones became so damn frustrating to service that people just swap them when their batteries start to degrade, instead of swapping batteries and continue using it.
Hope this new iGP sorts out some issues with asymetric memory configs. In my experience with the iris xe 80CU version, going from 4gb soldered + 4gb DIMM to 4gb soldered + 16GB DIMM meant a non-trivial loss of performance. It seems the flex memory (8GB dual channel, 12GB single channel) config doesnt play well with how the GPU uses the memory channels.
Its a shame because its a pretty capable iGP but it is very prone to OEMs handicapping it with asinine soldered RAM configs that inhibit it from drawing all its potential.
My parents paid 14k usd in 94’ for one. Considering inflation, its not really a bad price.
I dont think the new twingo will be A segment like the original one.
The A segment has kind of died down with the years. The need of security features that bulked up the chassis and dimensions of cars meant that A segmentcars were becoming undistinguishable from B segment ones.
Case in point: This new one will be 5 door only. There was no way you could fit 5 doors on the original design considering its dimensions.
To me it looks like a B segment EV car, which is totally fine, you just cant make as roomy A segment cars as the OG twingo because of all the security features that new cars require.
There is a little bit of summary in your very opinionated post.
