You posted a video wherein the tester simply sequentially opens and closes a series of apps on a Samsung and Apple device seeing which will run through the sequence faster...and the Samsung was a bit slower.

In theory it makes me wonder if iphone's storage is slightly faster than the latest galaxy or if the process by which one loads an iphone app is slightly faster/more efficient than the one by which an android app is loaded or if the tiny selection of apps the reviewer picked are just better optimized for iphone. Nobody smoked anyone and nothing of note was learned by anyone. So much so that I wonder why you bothered to watch said link or paste it here.

I said half an OS because its built on technologies like linux and java not because its half assed even though it is.

Certain apps were slower to load on the Samsung device. Additionally, the Samsung device encoded the 4K siginificantly video faster and took round 1 by 14 seconds and round 2 by 16 seconds.

The iPhone X has faster storage and a significantly faster SoC. A 30 second win by the Samsung phone is what I could call getting smoked.

And iOS is was a decedent of MacOS which itself is a decedent of NeXTSTEP. It also uses a language 11 years older than Java. So it sounds like iOS also meets your criteria of being "half assed".
