I dont think a 20% performance difference is going to make people jump from Android to iOS or vice versa. That's solidly in the "only detectable by benchmarks"

I dont think a 20% performance difference is going to make people jump from Android to iOS or vice versa. That's solidly in the "only detectable by benchmarks" range.
I've personally moved to a ~3 year upgrade cycle, primarily driven by software support. I think I could happily use a smartphone for 5 years if I didn't care about having full support for the latest software.
- huebnerob 9y agoWho's taking about switching? The question was whether YOY increases in performance still matter. I don't know about Android, but on iOS I see developers consistently rise to the challenge of a bigger performance envelope every year with new and innovative use cases. If that's something you don't care about, fine, but that doesn't mean the whole industry finds it pointless.
