    you could be rendering, simulating, running virtual machines

    On a phone? I guess you could, although 4gb is probably enough for any video game that any amount of people use.

      People use phone apps for photo and video editing these days. The common TikTok kid out there doesn’t use Adobe Premiere on a desktop workstation.

      Phone apps often are desktop applications with a specialized GUI these days.

        i mean yeah, but even then those aren’t significant filters, and what makes you think that tiktok isn’t running a render farm somewhere in china to collect shit tons of data? They’re already collecting the data, might as well provide a rendering service to make the UI nicer, but i don’t use tiktok so don’t quote me on it.

        Those are also all built into tiktok, and im pretty sure tiktok doesn’t require 8GB of ram to open.

          Pretty sure my Adobe Premiere comparison made it clear I wasn’t talking about the TikTok app itself but 3rd party apps to later upload to online services like TikTok.

          Just because you are completely inapt to think of use cases, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

            i mean yeah, you could, but then tiktok doesn’t have you on it’s app, and im pretty sure tiktok has a pretty comprehensive editing tool set, otherwise people wouldnt be making as much edited content on it.

            even then, there are still a lot of people that do edit video intended for 9:16 consumption, and they do it on PC. Primarily because it’s just a better place to edit things.
