Why is the iPhone touch screen so responsive?

Not the exact article I was looking for, but it still sheds valuable insight.

That was a good read.

So much sloppiness on Android on all levels, for users, developers...

I too appreciate the responsiveness of the touch on the iPhone. Anytime I've used a non iPhone android touchscreen, it was just not as nice. I mean barely noticeable but something about it wasn't quite as smooth or direct.

It's gotten better over the years, but for sure it's not the same.

True, but to be fair, this was over 18 months ago, a year before 4.2 Jellybean. A lot has improved since then

To this day I've yet to find a mobile which is as responsive.

Many Android phones just don't respond to a first click on the internet browser or it takes a few pushes for texts.

Why is there not a half decent touch phone? Yes they have improved but I have to admit the Iphone 3GS still beats these Android phones.

Meh... When my younger brother had the Galaxy S4 for a week he said the touch screen was too sensitive. The iPhone touch screen is very responsive... but it's not really any better than the touch screens on android devices... the iPhone is usually smoother if that's what you're talking about.

But the gap is still there. That is the whole point.

In your opinion. I, and millions of others, disagree.
