How else could you compare phones on an objective playing field? Ultimately the value of the UI is subjective and will be different for everyone, only the hardware can be compared. I'm not going against your argument, but just shedding some light so you can approach it from "all angles." I believe, in total, consumers choose the phone that gives them the most value; that value being measured in terms of quality, experience, which apparently includes how others look at them operating their new phone, as well as the cross platform functionality that the phone offers along with other products (icloud, macbook, iPhone). I vehemently dislike Apple products because their hardware is below standard and I devalue that hipster aura that's inherent in their products. While their OS is perfectly functional for my needs, it's not what I value most...Originally Posted by senor chang

What does GHz even matter to you? I mean, i know what it means and all that but really...think about that...what do these numbers do to validate you? You're not running them at maxed out operations anyways...
Which means ultimately nothing.
The iPhone is incredibly underwhelming on paper but will always hold its own and even outperform because its integrated more tightly from coding all the way up to the hardware.
Specs don't improve user experience, the software is all that matters.
The UI is all that matters. And that is software...
No one will care when their computer is the equivalent of a ferrari under the hood but it operates like a Kia or something.
All consumers interact with is the UI. Thats it. They wouldn't even think to care about hardware if the UI didn't take their need away to even question what was under the hood.
Its all a numbers game for consumers to make them feel better or to satisfy their urge to be better than other people. Whatever...have fun validating yourselves for using one device or another...
I'm not pro android or pro apple or pro anything...i'm trying to approach it from all angles
