Read the article, in it's entirety, as much of it as I could stomach. The author's point is that specs don't matter but then cites specs? Is that the point? Fact is that both sides push themselves every year to release these devices. Apple isn't without it's missteps either in this department. You guys are harping on the Note 7 batteries as pushing too hard, but what about the 6000 series aluminum for the 6? We now know that coupled with the softer alloy, there's a potential catastrophic flaw in damaging touch IC chips leading to high amounts of failures. And Apple isn't even willing to acknowledge or fix those issues.
Implied through the title of the post, then supplanting it with comments that android "isn't even close". Fact of the matter is, a lot of comparisons and benchmarks are also not relevant these days. For example, to your point about background multitasking, when the hell has any of us opened 20 apps in rapid succession and then had to go back through all of them in the same order? Yet, that's the test right, and we're willing to accept that as proof that Apple is superior?
This whole argument is silly. Pick the device that meets your needs. Luckily for us, they've both been pushing quite hard to bring us rich, polished features on both sides that we couldn't have even dreamed of 20 years ago.
