Overkill hardware is OK with me. As long as it meets the need and has good battery life, I’m happy, but I don’t see overkill as a selling point.

My iPhone is absolutely overkill in the CPU department. I never push its capabilities. but I didn’t buy it for the benchmarks. I bought it because it’s a pretty good phone.

and has good battery life

Not sure about this pro, but the previous models had kinda lacking battery life in some workloads because the CPU was just too damn powerful (and power hungry)

My pre-M-series pro has stupidly long battery life. Tablets are nuts.

I kind of wish that they had kept the same battery size and had absolutely stupid long battery life. “Charge it once a week“, that type of thing.

Sadly that is not true at least for the M1 iPad pro.
