The lower end iPhone still outperforms the higher end Android.

  Except they aren't comparing straight price. Here's the quote again. > There's simply no reason to choose Android - iPhone does everything better, for the same price. The person you replied to, then replied > I'm sorry, but - "for the same price"? You must live in a very different place than I do. They are saying that android phones don't have to cost the same as iPhones for the same functionality. A point you made for them by having to compare a pro of one to a bigger screen normal version to get the same price.

    You're struggling a little here aren't you. 1) it wasn't me that compared them, 2) "There's simply no reason to choose Android - iPhone does everything better, for the same price." - which it does, even for the same price, and 3) "They are saying that android phones don't have to cost the same as iPhones for the same functionality." - it's not the same functionality if we've already established that the iPhone does it better, even if you spend the same amount of money.

  In what? What are you doing that hasn't become so fast it's imperceptibly different on all modern phones? They all seem to text, browse, email, and play media at the required FPS and load time to me. Yes I have seen synthetic benchmarks. But, they haven't had any relevance to what I do on my phone since like 2012, so I'm wondering what other people are doing?

    The performance becomes more relevant when it's running the latest OS update over 5 years later. Software only ever gets heavier, as a rule.

Why did you exclude the iPhone SE?

  Because I'm lazy and honestly forgot it existed. It's also over a year old at this point and is considered to be "last gen" along side the iPhone 13). Can't edit to add it.
