It has been around for more than a decade now and despite all the barbs shot at it by the competition, the iPhone remains special. Why so? Well, these seven factors might have something to do with it: Inspiring a lot of design imitation…or flattery A lot of what the idea of the iPhone is about stems from the way the series has looked over the years. Just like certain features, Apple has also managed to bring certain smartphone design elements in the limelight which were then scooped up by the rest of the world like free cakes....

Asynchronous Spacework works by intervening every frame in order to time wrap the last submitted eye buffers and this works even if the application is taking long to render the next frame. The low frame rate of 45fps is compensated by adding artificial frames and achieving the 90fps required for VR experience.
