Not to mention the VM in Android.Īlso how many Android apps are written in such a way as to take advantage of all those cores? With so many Android devices still being on 2.x, lots of developers target that spec. iOS has a tighter control over memory so it simply does not need as much to accomplish most things (unless you start getting into talking about image processing applications).Īlso, what about the performance difference between Android apps and iOS apps? Android apps have to rely on a garbage collector to reclaim memory, iOS uses ARC which means memory is reclaimed without that overhead. It's really wrong to compare specs between Android and iOS devices directly without considering how the underlying systems are actually used.įor instance, an Android phone needs more memory than an iOS device as it tends to have more background processes. I'll also add the the current form factor (thin and wide) is more prone to an accidental ejection from a hand than the thicker candy-bar or slider styles. I see phones in use driving, walking, jogging, bike riding besides the normal multitasking during a meal or other more mundane activities (including the "dropped it in a toilet" horror stories). And folks aren't stopping what they're doing to do all that. ![]() It's constantly in and out of our hands for social networking, music, news, texting, reading, pictures, whatever. Fast forward to today where "our" noses are buried in the phone most of the day. Aside from an outlier realtor or on-the-go professional that usage didn't add up to a lot of minutes during the day, and often for me there were many days between calls. :) The difference is 10 years ago we used our cell phones for phone calls. ![]() Looking at your ID I assume you are an old guy like me. Maybe rather than a case people should get the Nokia Lumia 920 and wear grippy gloves, since the 920's screen can be used with gloves on. Apple is going to clock that higher than the iPhone 5 (which is at 1 Ghz now, up from 800 Mhz on iPhone 4s), and the iPad 4 (or whatever they call it) will be a screamer.Why is everybody dropping their phones? How does this happen? After years of smartphone use, and over a decade of cell phone use, I've only ever dropped one phone (an old Nokia, circa 2000 ended up with a loose battery connection that would occasionally cause dropped calls if it shifted mid-call). This score also bodes well for the next iPad. And even then, an old one core iPhone will be smoother than it, because of Apple's super efficient OS. It will feature 16 cores, it will be highly overclocked and the phone will be 6 inches thick to accommodate the huge heat sink built into it. ![]() In five years time, there will finally be an Android phone released which will almost be as smooth as iOS. At the end of the day, it still runs a poor OS called Android, which bogs down the whole system and requires much higher resources just to operate.ĭon't worry Fandroids, there is still hope for your phones. ![]() I've said this before, but it wouldn't matter if a piece of crap Android device had a damn 8 core CPU and 4 gigs of RAM. When you combine this mega scoring, custom Apple chip and pair it with the ultra efficient and world's best mobile OS called iOS, you simply get the best damn phone in the entire world! If real and accurate, then that score is incredible! It beats out every Android device in existence, including quad core CPUs and various other Android junk clocked at much higher rates!
