^ True, I guess. The reason that sucks is because that list I referenced also includes CONS! Making that transition now, years before smartphones have the RAM capacity to provide benefits, means we're getting all the cons but none of the pros. It's another example of widespread consumer ignorance leading to devices that aren't as good as they could have been, similar to QHD resolutions at 5", or low-end devices moving to quad core CPUs where the individual cores perform worse than last generation's cores. These moves are made because companies are tasked with building the best selling device, not the actual best device.
Apple is the only company that has the freedom to stick to displays < 400ppi and powerful dual core CPUs. Counter to popular belief, that's not Apple selling inferior products, but doing real performance and battery life optimizations, rather than spec sheet and marketing optimizations.
When Apple moved to a 64bit CPU, they were at least able to extend the instruction set with a few cryptography related capabilities that made use of the wider registers. Qualcomm doesn't seem to be doing that. Their move to 64bits is done to please the masses, who will gladly buy them up, despite the end result being worse. These devices won't be worse overall, primarily because other improvements will make up for the slack, but they just won't be as good as they could have been.
