The phone battery will be in a state within two years, or Apple will nerf it with a firmware upgrade.
 
you could get 7 Gucci belts for a 4090 and you'd display your top revenue prowess everyday.

the other 2 are for children.

Which would you choose and why?

Graphics card...

The iPhone is an Apple product and I'm a hater, so the idea of paying actual money for one is immediately out the window.
Also, you can't install the iPhone into your PC and enjoy high end ray-traced games, so again it's pretty pointless.
I also don't believe you can really mine on an iPhone and, even if you could, I'm sure Apple would decide which cryptoes they allowed you to mine anyway.
 
Neither.

I'm currently running a Poco X3 Pro that's a little over a year old, I'll never spend more than £200 on a phone again. My PC I'm pretty happy with for my needs (3700X, 32GB RAM, 3060TI) and have no desire to spend the sort of money Nvidia wants for 4090's on a single part.

I've other things I'd rather spend my money on, currently looking at receivers and speakers to upgrade my home cinema experience.

yes and no....................... the 4090 is an absolute monster (in all ways)......

but as an experience if you are gaming, for *most* games (so MSFS is off the table ;) ) you will still be likely playing the same games at the same details levels if you are coming from the current generation flag ship card......... just at a slightly higher frame rate.

an improvement, sure, but not really game redefining imo.

by the time games are coming out which push the 3090 it its knees, i suspect the next gen will be out and we will be able to get similar performance to a 4090 but a couple of levels down the stack. For those who skipped the 3000 series however it will be a bigger jump

4K 144hz is already not possible for my 3090.
 
My laptop has a 1660 Ti and my desktop has a 3070, so both are pretty decent.

My phone is an S20 Ultra, 2.5 years old now but still pretty "decent" in that it has aged well.

I have enough cash to buy both the IP 14 Pro Max and the 4090. Not interested though because of the above.

My next project with the cash I got is to have my garden landscaped.

If there was some more technology I wanted, then probably a treadmill.

maybe not but that is my point........... 4K min 60fps to 4k min 120 fps percentage wise is a 100% increase in performance.

but for most people the difference in gaming experience is subtle...... i am biased because i am happy with a solid 60fps. For me the jump from 30 - 60 is huge (in some cases the difference between motion sick and not) but anything above 60 is ok to have but not a huge difference.

there are a few exceptions, as well as VR where the extra horsepower will be great, but for most things i think even tho technically the hardware is much stronger, until the games catch up i dont think the difference will be that transformative.
