Hmm. I'm not a sycophant, unlike others married to android, by any means, but at least I don't automatically find apple guilty, again, unlike others who have no objectivity.
My instructions say that as well has have a picture in the instructions and the motherboard. Maybe AMD doesn't do that, but intel does.
Weaker compared to what? You cannot prove or disprove apple purposefully designed a weak phone. Only that they designed a phone that some people managed to bend by putting them in their back-pants pocket.
There may also be people coming from no phone, which IMO, ios is easier to use.
Apple admitted to no such thing. What they admitted to, was a power management profile, they didn't clarify as much as they should. Shall we go back and examine the exact verbiage?
That’s weird. My phone is lag free. Even on crappy iOS 11. Thank goodness for the speed optimization that older device owners will appreciate with iOS 12. The A9, 10, and 11 are all very fast in my experience.
I guess you need that many security measures when your OS is prone to spyware and malware.
Family has 5s, 6s, 6s+,7 and X. Nobody complains about lag under ios 11, battery life seems to be more the issue.
I agree. My dad has a 6, and just replaced the battery under the Apple battery program for $29. It runs much faster now. Mom has an SE that still runs lightning fast. My 7 Plus has 89% battery according to battery life beta. I plan on spending the $29 before end of year just to give this phone extraaaaa life. I plan on New X Plus, so when that happens, my 7 Plus will goto Mom or dad!
The Samsung note 2 was released in 2012, iphone 4 in 2010. My iPhone 4, works as well as a 2010 era phone with most apps up to date. In 2 years tell me how your note 2 is.
Lol, your note 2 has the latest 32 bit apps, how cute is that. Your note 2 is going to die before my iphone 4. As far as 64 bit, iphone 4 to 5 are 32 bit and those apps will be supported. The policy is to submit 64 bit apps as the guidelines suggest, but 32 bit can be submitted for prior IOS releases as well. So no, you're wrong.
Exactly what core apps require updating? Stock app? For every core app there are multiple replacements on the App Store, if that is your thing. Core apps are useful, but the third party apps are more important. I’m surprised your note 2 actually runs, what with the reported android lag. Tough to know night and day, when the clock app doesn’t work. 🙂
Because at this point CPU power has reached its peak on mobile platforms. There is a speed test which shows Note 9 is barely faster than the Note 8 in this speed test. So this is nothing special. The Pixel 2 XL vs Pixel XL also showcases this.
The processors in phones are now more powerful than anything we would ever use a mobile phone for. We get all of these improved processors each year but the power is wasted as we still do the same things we did 6/7 years ago.
Indeed, but the amount of scrutiny I see here and on other threads when smartphones are being ridiculed for opening apps fractions of a seconds slower is laughable. It’s purely because it’s a platform not to the commenters preference in most cases.

Seems straightforward that no matter how strong apple made a phone, some individual(s) could find a way to bend or break it. The s-pen is not similar to the phone in any way shape or form as it just slipped in the holding cradle with nary a care, and damaging the phone. The two are false equivalencies.
Bluetooth is a bad example because after the dust settled, I like control center 2.0 better than 1.0. But I do agree without a keyboard and limited screen real estate, sometimes a manual is needed.
Well in that vein, you and rest of you guys can believe the hyperbole about it. But the truth is it's a power management profile and nothing else. And by the way, wasn't it you who said, benchmarks can be fixed? Or is it only benchmarks that show Apple doesn't slow down phones with succeeding IOS releases? But geekbench must be on the mark? Right? Or was it fixed to have some proof to start a lawsuit. Conspiracy theory, just like planned obsolescence?
