This isn't surprising processing power is definitely one thing the iphone has going for it over Android. Though I'd love to know why my iphone X stock keyboard lags at times.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone X Beats Samsung Galaxy S9 in Benchmarking Tests

i don't really notice that anymore in iPhone X. in previous iPhones, pressing home locks the UI until animation fully completes. in iPhone X, the home screen is instantly usable even when the animation is still in progress.

tell that to those that complained about their iPhone 6 being too slow.

Tweetbot took over 7 minutes to re-encode a 1 minute 4k60 movie. I'm 99% sure they didn't write their own video encoder.

have you tried re-encoding a 4k60 video to share on Twitter/Facebook/Apple Photos? took over 7 minutes to re-encode 1 minute of video.

i didn't say tell yourself, i said tell those that were complaining about the performance because you asked "Who cares?". plenty of iphone 6 users were bummed out about the slow performance.
also, yes bill gates never said those exact words, but there was one publication that published a quote by him about having 640k being more than enough for DOS.

Hmm that is quite interesting. What about the other animations? I'd say more than 50% of follow-up gestures/taps are ignored by my iPhone 6, and I usually try to give it a second but can't get the timing right.
For example, going in and out of messages in the Messages.app. Or when I tap something that brings up a Confirm/Cancel dialogue, it always ignores the first one or two taps.
I have to say, input blocking is the one thing about iOS that makes me reconsider using it... Something about waiting and realizing it isn't listening and having to repeat constantly.
What's the use of fast cpu in iPhone when speed is dumbed down with laggy animations and transitions.
Because videos encode faster, games play better, heavy web pages render faster? Etc.
I don’t really think that the Samsung Galaxy s9 or rather any of their phones stand much of any chance against the iPhone X. Samsung may have a better camera for now but with Apple controlling their own software, they can outrun them easily. But that is not the only reason why iPhone is a better phone, it is the new technology that it comes with.
With iPhone X, Apple started a new league for which the credit goes to facial recognition. The software may not have worked buttery smooth till now, but has done a good enough job and we now know for sure that facial recognition is the future to which we are heading. So why not get the phone that won’t be outdated for a long time in the near future and will surely improve. So the comparison really narrows to a phone that is good for now but does not have much of any future and a phone that is good, is improving and has a key role in the future.

That's is until apple purposefully throttle down the performance so that you be suckered to fork out out more cash to buy a new one
I tried figuring out if the seven minute thing looked right, and it doesn’t seem that bad compared to what some people were saying they were getting.
One thing I like about s9 it doesn't have a notch, looks so beautiful compared to X
What good is all that power for business use when ios is so limited and not versatile?
My ipad often has to refresh web pages when coming back to tabs. Not really acceptable.
Are they inaccurate statements, though?
I mean, Android vs iOS makes for great philosophical or theory debate, but ultimately its based on an individuals opinions. Performance metrics, on the other hand, are supposed to be a center piece of "objectivity" to criticism and critics (whether Android or iOS) use them to support their arguments of superiority outside of the OS war. That is, you forego convenience or aesthetic pleasantry because function is all that matters. Is it not the basis behind criticizing individuals as "sheeple"?
If the shoe is on the other foot though - is "performance doesn't matter" still an unacceptable or inaccurate statement?
Refreshing web pages was not the point. That’s about ram, not speed.
Affinity. Pixelmator. Auria. Procreate. The list goes on. There are no high-end Android equivalents for iOS Apps like these. Maybe a small number of people use them, but at least they have the option to do so. On Android you don’t have that choice because developers aren’t making Apps like these.
Maybe you should ask the enterprise/corporate market where iOS completely dominates mobile device use over Android. Also, see my comment above.
Not to mention police departments like the NYPD. Amazing a limited use device like the iPhone finds its way into the largest police force in the country.
Have you been following Android development for the last few years? Google is turning it into iOS (no longer open source and 100% locked down by Google).
Dex is really damn cool, give you that.
We have to admit that everyone expected more from SD 845.
It is true that even 835 equipped android devices are very snappy but A11 is amazingly fast.
No, I agree. I just think fanboys of either side are ridiculous... however Apple has a long history of having smug fans and you have proof of that from Guy Kawasaki's evangelism marketing.
I already have a monitor and keyboard at all locations I go to, that I plug my laptop into. Working a full day on a laptop screen and keyboard is really not the best experience.
No. I don't see many people concerning themselves with that.
Ok, so don't misquote someone to prove your point.
I’m trying wrap my head around your workflow.
So you have, what, 4 locations (based on your previous post) with monitors & keyboards where you regularly spend a full day working? And none of those are attached to an existing PC? They just sit around all day and aren’t being used for anything productive until you show up? Doesn’t that seem like an awful waste?

I do this almost every day for work. Take 4K video in the field to document component failures, edit the video to show relevant content, then encode it to upload to our company server.
I cannot STAND this functionality with Control Center's backwards use of WiFi button (OFF being Standby/Disconnect). It's backwards to what we expect from Settings. IF I turn off WIFi in settings then I can turn it on and it WILL connect from Control Centre ... why does it NOT do the exact opposite?
This setup ONLY works when WiFi where you're presently located works. When you being to travel (walk, drive, etc) within range of another open/free WiFi HotSpot (say: Tim Horton's, Starbucks, TTC TConnect, McDonald's, PizzaPizza etc) that you've connected to before (a week, month, 3mths ago) ... guess what ... your GPRS/EDGE/HSPA/LTE data stops connecting for apps and browser ... because guess what? iOS prioritizes WiFi over cellular carrier network data! And until you manually disconnect or turn OFF or accept the slow pop-up for free hotspot (Tim Horton's in Canada forces you to load up an external page which is rerouted to their acceptance page) BEFORE you can continue to use data.
For those of us using public transit this is EXTREMELY annoying. More so when I have a Watch App (Strong!) that sync's to my iPhone app (Strong!) for my workouts and fails because for some D*ck reason my gym has issues with WiFi after business hours ... I have to wait until I get home in order for the sync to occur - which again I have to manually invoke! You cannot imagine the explicitives I've spoken when I first experienced this annoyance. And now the developer does NOT invoke Bluetooth to sync workout data I have no idea why.
