This seems like a super delusional/ill informed comment. The iPhone excels in various benchmarks that don’t matter for the typical user. Otherwise android hardware and software is extremely competitive, often better, at much lower prices. Especially the mid range phones coming out of China. Take a look at the Oneplus 6 and tell me the iPhone XS is 2x better than that phone. Because the price is 2x. I’m a long time Apple user looking to switch soon.


iPhones are worth 2x as much because they last 2x as much.

In iOS 12 the performance of the iPhone 6s was dramatically improved which was released over 3 years ago. And Apple will continue to release software updates for probably another year or two.

How many Android devices are receiving updates 4-5 years after release ?


Really, only a handful of people care about benchmarks.

Phones are no longer "computers". They are personal items that we all depend on. Processors and RAM simply don't matter.

iPhones are worth more than any other phone 2 years after release.
