I&#x27;ve concluded that spec sheets in advertising are at best excuses, and at worst lies. Most users don&#x27;t care what the exact pixel count is, they just want enough pixels that everything looks great. They don&#x27;t care exactly how much RAM or storage there is, so long as they don&#x27;t run out of it (either &quot;brick wall effect&quot; or discernible slowdowns). They don&#x27;t care exactly how fast the processor is, so long as it&#x27;s perceived as &quot;fast enough&quot;. If specifications are presented, it&#x27;s done so precisely to convince the user &quot;this is good enough&quot; ... but if it <i>was</i> good enough, customers wouldn&#x27;t be looking at those numbers to see if it&#x27;s at least above some criteria indicating &quot;well, I guess I can put up with it since you put it that way&quot;.<p>That&#x27;s precisely why Apple doesn&#x27;t give specifications for as many products as they can get away with. RAM specs are limited to regular computers. Devices with &quot;retina&quot; displays don&#x27;t list pixel counts any more (or at least overtly so). Given how they&#x27;re pushing to make storage size irrelevant on mobile devices (iCloud, dynamic app deletion&#x2F;installation, Photos cloud storage, etc), I expect they&#x27;ll eventually drop exact local storage specs in most ads (opting for &quot;small&#x2F;medium&#x2F;large&quot;).
