I'm not necessarily talking about performance but mostly about features.
For instance a lot of friends using Android phones are shocked about iOS lack of a global filesystem.
But to me, this absence is a feature, not a bug. Having every app sandboxed at the OS level is a great thing to limit what can go wrong. I explicitely don't want a global filesystem on iOS.
To be clear, I would hate a full computer without a global filesystem. But I'm really fine with a phone not having one.
(By the way Apple did take tiny steps towards a public filesystem on iOS and I'm not super happy about that)
