The Like a Dragon games tend to be very lengthy experiences. Ever since turning into JRPGs with 7, they have gotten even longer with Infinite Wealth clocking in anywhere between 40 and 100 hours depending on how addicted to Dondoko Island you get.

This suggests that it too will probably not support mmWave 5G. What does this imply? While mmWave technology offers fast data speeds at…

While the phone carries similar specifications as the flagship iPhone 16 series, including the same 48-megapixel primary camera, inclusion of Apple Intelligence features, and an A18 SoC, the latter’s architecture is different from its iPhone 16 counterpart.
