The same goes for Core Text or Core Animation - they are not doing anything especially hard or mind blowing. Android displays text just as well and has an animation APIs that are arguably easier to use that Objective C APIs.
- stephen_g 15y agoIt may just be the (in my opinion at least) bad typefaces Android ships with, but you're the first person I've heard say that Android's text rendering is as good as iOS's... Perhaps it's also that most of the Android devices I've used have had worse displays than my iPhone's as well, but I've not found Androids text to look that good...
