> specially from competing operating systems. Windows is getting faster on the same hardware since Vista (7 was faster than Vista, 8 was faster than 7 and 10 is faster than 8).

Newer iOS versions are slower on old hardware than older versions, and this is also more or less true for Windows Phone and Android.
