Was meant as rhetorical question really but.
The iProduct has 10x less pixels and custom hardware & crafted firmware,
no upscaling or deinterlace & only one screen.
No openGL & other 3d stuff ?
The h.264 source data is possibly massaged to reduce burden & it could
skip computational demanding frames (guessing). Apple do make beautiful
devices & have changed the gadget world.
