Yes, the latest Note 7 is about 40% slower than the iPhone when pushing pixels. It also pushes 2.2 times as many pixels - that takes time.

On a pixel-time basis, the Note 7 is faster...

A far as security goes, I posted earlier. Both platforms have issues (only the most hard-core Apple fanatic would claim otherwise). By nature of being a more open platform, and one that is ~7 times more plentiful than iOS, it has more attack vectors put at it. Does that mean you’ll get infected? Well - I’ve been running Windows since 1991, and have had one confirmed infection in all that time. You won’t get a virus - you’ll get a trojan that fakes you out. Be smart and it’s a non-issue. But I guess if you need to have your hand held during operation then Android may not be for you.

As far as getting info from the user - Apple does as well. People forget they had iAds that was doing the same thing, and collected the same kinds of data for their own internal sales use (of course, Apple was really pretty bad at it, so they have closed it down). Apple - heck, ALL connected companies - collect data from users for their own marketing efforts - and will sell/share that as a whole when it best serves them.

Google doesn’t sell YOUR information to a particular advertising companies, they sell blocks of statistics, like “55% of our users are male; 84% who are interested in games are also interested in pizza”. You get aggregated into big groups. That’s the information you get as a consumer of Google analytics.

And, as I have told you before, the Note 7 is pushing all those extra pixels for NO DISCERNIBLE purpose. No human being can tell the difference at the viewing distance people use phones, so they are supplying a super-high-pixel count screen merely so the various Android manufacturers' and ignorant Android Fanboys like you can brag how their screen's pixel count is bigger than Apple's. . . but having that giant pixel count slows their devices' performance down abysmally and causes their videos' to stutter and shudder. The frame rates in their games suffer tremendously. Way to go, marketing departments.

A far as security goes, I posted earlier. Both platforms have issues (only the most hard-core Apple fanatic would claim otherwise).

And I completely shot down your argument and refuted your phony evidentiary link. You are ignoring it and repeating your claim. . . even in the same thread after having your claim refuted with facts. I bet you did not even bother to read it. You are a hide bound Apple Hate Brigade member and you are not amenable to facts that refute your completely pre-conceived facturds.

There have been fewer than ten exploits in nine years on iOS compared to the over 10 MILLION on Android IN THE WILD that Kaspersky logged two years ago (!), yet you repeatedly claim equivalence by implying that "both platforms have issues (only the most hard-core Apple fanatic would claim otherwise)," despite evidence that overwhelming shows YOU ARE DELUSIONAL to make that claim.

The only major outbreak on iOS occurred in China and totaled ~4000 Chinese language apps in Chinese third party App stores due to a bogus Xcode called XcodeGhost making infected apps. . . which required JAILBROKEN iPhones to work because they were required to download from 3rd party app stores. 37 of those XcodeGhost Apps did make their way on to the Apple App Store but were removed. None were ever found in the USA as they were all Chinese language apps.

People forget they had iAds that was doing the same thing, and collected the same kinds of data for their own internal sales use (of course, Apple was really pretty bad at it, so they have closed it down).

You make an assumption that Apple closed down iAds because they were doing badly at it. Apple closed it down because they determined they were NOT in the business of selling advertising, but rather in the business of selling hardware, software, and services. Apple decided they were not going to put ads on their devices and computers and shut down iAds. It was not because they could not sell ads or monetize it. It was not conducive to their core business. YOU made the assumptions they were doing badly at it. Apple does NOT mine their customers for their personal information except to improve Apple's service to those customers. They state categorically that any information Apple has on its customer will NOT be shared with any third party.

Google doesn’t sell YOUR information to a particular advertising companies, they sell blocks of statistics, like “55% of our users are male; 84% who are interested in games are also interested in pizza”. You get aggregated into big groups. That’s the information you get as a consumer of Google analytics.

You are wrong. Google sells individual information about their "products" desires, personal browsing activities, locations, and even what was in their "products" emails or emails. A freeper not too long ago mentioned in an email to his wife sent from his Android phone that he was thinking about stopping at Burger King to have lunch. Not five minutes later, ads started popping up on his phone from Burger King, with coupons specials and notices of the nearest BK. That IS personalized, targeted advertising from something put in a private email. Google makes no secret they scan emails for advertising purposes. That IS invasion of your personal documents. Google admitted they archive your emails for their purposes, separate from YOUR purposes. That is invasion of your privacy. Apple does not do any of that. When BK can target an ad to you directly, through Google, you have no privacy and it is NOT from a "block" of data.
