• Android has a garbage collector, meaning it requires an additional 2GB of RAM of overhead to keep things smooth. iPhones run significantly hotter than Androids, and consume more energy to achieve their performance gains.

    It’s not true to simply state “one is better than the other”. There’s various metrics in which either one may be better.

      That‘s exactly what I was criticizing. So how is “more RAM = better“ as an absolute statement right, then?

        jfc this is inane.

        there’s this thing called multitasking, you might have heard of it. when you want to open more than one app and use them all at the same time, GUESS WHAT BRIGHT LIGHTS? Takes more memory.

        This is the dumbest shit take I’ve ever seen.

          I‘m talking about smartphones. Funny that you‘d call me bright lights when you even lack the basic skill of reading.

          Never had any problems with „multitasking“ there since the iPhone 5.

            LOL, you think people don’t multitask on smart phones and tablets?

            oof… and yes, on android you can have both open on the same screen at the same time. I don’t know about fischer price unix, er, aye-aye-aye-os…

            nah, didn’t misread, you’re def the sharpest tool in the spoon drawer.

              Sure. I have just never encountered any problems. I used to, to be honest, as mentioned back with the iPhone 4 where Safari tabs were reloading because of the lack of RAM. But Android had its own problems back then, for example with the update policy of most manufacturers leaving my wife‘s Android phone obsolete after only one year.

              What exactly do you do? Hook up your smartphone as a desktop replacement with a bulky USB dongle, firing up some CAD software on two 6K displays while rendering an 8K HDR video in the background? People never disappoint creating completely made-up scenarios just to discredit.

              Never talked about tablets, so it’s reading – again!

                I mention tablets because it’s the same os - iOS or Android - on both. tsk. guess you forgot that point.

                or it never occurred to you. bright lights indeed.
