I don’t see that happening soon. As iOS 18.x has shown with every iteration its bug ridden and it’s scrambling to bring the much needed updates. I’m looking forward to see what iOS 18.4 brings to Siri. If Siri is still braindead it will have big implications for apples future products (AVP, command center, Apple Watch, etc.)
Got a tip for us?

They not only catch up to Apple, they leapfrogged Apple on software too.
They are at that.
Samsungs core competency is not processors.
It’s worth it to note, in your opinion only. Apples record profits indicate this is your opinion only.
?
Again, record profits debunks the above.
What a generalized load of crap the above is.
The writings have been in the wall since 2011, and yet here we are today. Apple is likely to outlast Samsung.
Record profits disagree with your opinion.
I dont see android offerings being any better. Different sure, better no.
Comprehensive citation needed or else it’s more hubris.
My opinion is like yours. A grain of sand in the universe. What is important is apples record profits.
They did the same with HomePod and yet my HomePod og is getting updates.
THIS! ^^
I have some older iPhones still on much older iOS versions and it's shocking how lightning fast they are to use
iOS has really become some very bloated software
I don’t really understand why you think it’s necessary to quote every line I wrote.
We already agree we have different opinions. Also you’re a shareholder of Apple and your interest lies in the amount of profit Apple makes.
Why you can’t just ignore me instead of of pestering?
What’s the fun of that?
In their defense, I think the burgers are frozen before cooking so that might factor in
😄
Another nail in the iPhone coffin.
This is just the beginning. Where is the mythical “hardware and software integration” of Apple?.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaame on Tim.
Why pay so much for an inferior devices in ALL aspects?. IOS is very primitive compared to Android in most regards.

One similarity is that they were both released half baked and overpriced, wildly so in the case of AVP
Only in clown land is ‘multi core’ real world performance. Intel has been called out for all these more core and hyper threading nonsense so they can win at certain benchmarks.
Per core performance is how processor architecture is rated. Samsung’s chip is almost 20% slower per core than the 16 Pro Max.
And it is 4 years behind the performance of the M4 iPad which Samsung/Android also competes against.
Their GPU will be miles behind too.
And what’s this…

It requires people with Apple Derangement Syndrome to assume that anything competes against the iPhone or iPad processors. They’ve been doing this for years and every year they have coping problems so they flood this forum with their cope issues.
I totally agree with you on that. The only thing that worries me is that it seems that Apple doesn’t even try responding with their offerings.
For several years, I have encountered a persistent issue with my MacBook Pros. Despite purchasing high-end models with exceptional performance, cooling, and quiet operation, I have noticed a sudden deterioration in their performance two years after purchase. The updated operating system appears to have a detrimental effect on their longevity, causing them to become excessively hot, noisy, and slow.
Now, don’t move the goalposts. @enkiera was answering the question “who cares about android?”
They would benefit the most in tablets because of bigger batteries and heat sinks.
Is there something to say relevant to the topic at hand?
Or do you believe you should be able to post freely and then disallow forum members from replying to your post?
The point is Samsung overlocked the processor. For one of the few times in the history of comparisons got better benchmarks. But in a world where sales count, I would buy a Samsung tv all day long, but not a phone. My wallet belongs to Apple.
And the overriding point was apples profits are what they are. One can have any interpretation about what they mean or dive into the nuances and make some baseless predictions.
