Likely. But highend android models actually have more horsepower than the apple alternatives. They do really need it though. Because on iOS with truly native code and a static hardware stack, they can just push more performance. The same is true when comparing consoes with desktop pcs. Many games actually run slower on more powerfull hardware, just because of all the extra levels of indirection.

> Because on iOS with truly native code and a static hardware stack, Yeah, Apple can get away with it, because of the single architecture. Even with Java Google could have decided to target native code generation ahead of time, instead of using a JIT. Doing so enables the distribution of single binaries which can be optimized for the large spectrum of Android mobiles. With native code you need to produce binaries for each set of hardware architecture you want to support.
