Samsung Galaxy S6

Do you honestly think the programming standards employed by developers to reach the unwashed masses with their Samsung Galaxy pockets is going to be the same as IOS developers employ when their customers all have iPhones (hugely premium by comparison to all but the top end Androids)?

Business sacrifices. You should research them.

Have you done any android development? Do you understand how device support works on Android?

You right. Also the "paused" state I was talking about doesn't mean the app can't do anything. It just means that the code defined in that state is executed. If the programmer wanted to let the app continue as per normal, he could. Not recommended, but he could.

I think you are right about Apple's "freeze" state though. This is the operating system freezing the app, and the app, even if the developer wanted to, can't do anything about it.

I had an apple iPad 2 and this was normal behavior, it erked me so much I gave the tablet to my mum and got myself a Nexus 7 WiFi. Best move I ever made IMO

I'm looking beyond devices, to the people who use them. Exactly like the marketers targeting Apple faithful do.

Is it any coincidence that Standard Bank has released fingerprint support for their IOS app, and not their Android app?

They know who the richer customers on average are, and support them first. Or do you disagree?
 
How did you get from this:
-better programming language
-better programmers

Isn't IOS also a superior programming language, so the applications themselves are more efficient?

I also suspect developer skill might be involved, where IOS developers on average are better than Android beginners (the platform has simply had the benefit of being around longer, and because the phones are premium the client demands in terms of quality are far more stringent).

Android is more about 'anything goes', with a lot of resulting crap.

To this?
-marketing because of richer customers?

Think about this. When you want to build the fingerprint support for Android, consider the amount of Android devices vs the amount of iPhones.

Then consider the amount of Androids that don't have fingerprint support.

Then think about this. The fingerprint sensor on the Samungs are proprietary to Samsung with a specific API, whereas as with iOS, it's part of the iOS eco system.
 
Sorry Fanie, I'm not about to debate this point with a fanboi like yourself. Bottom line, Android apps tend to be worse developed because the clients they're developed for are assumed to be less discerning. If you need proof of that, just look at half the trash in the Google Play store.

I suspect that because the developers are better, developing to a higher standard, it might be safe to assume that IOS apps are innately more efficient than Android bloatware, regardless of the actual memory management of the two ecosystems. That plays another important contributing factor to a perceived difference in quality.

Disagree? Explain why, rather than just posting questions.

How about answering some of the questions? You make points, I ask you a question about it, and you start talking about something else.

Are you an app developer? Or do you work for a company that develop apps? You make a lot of assumptions but it is more your opinion, rather than fact.

Some android apps are schit. Why? I'll tell you why. Because for a man on the street to develop and deploy an android app, will cost him $0. Yep. Fck all. You need to pay apple to be a developer and deploy apps. O, and what does Android dev have at its base? Plain old java. What do iOS use. Swift. :wtf:

With that in mind, forget about the rats and mice. Top end serious companies can much cheaper and easier deploy an android app, than an iOS app. And with android's open architecture, they can bud apps which can do a lot more than just live in a little cocoon.

You are in an android thread as well. If you want sympathy for iOS, PostmanPot is that way - - >
 
This whole discussion stemmed from a question earlier: how are iPhones' performance comparable with Android phones, although they're weaker in pure specs.

I've hazarded a few informed guesses based on my insights into corporate marketing and the general maturity of the IOS ecosystem (which as you've noted yourself has higher barriers to entry).

Moving on...
 
I've decided to ditch my Clear View Cover. Noticed a few marks on my screen. Not that noticeable, but I know they are there. Damn.
 
I dropped my S6 today and it has a tiny crack on the front glass near the top right. So small that if I were to put on a 3rd party case, the case lip would probably cover it (and it probably wouldn't have happened). Alas, the crummy Samsung Case I got just covers the corners.

Would ADH fix such minor damage?

Yes they would. But do you want to waste it on something so small?
 
Eina - 1 month in and you would then have no more ADH. I would live with it for as long as possible as well per Fanie

Jesus christ I all a sudden hugged my S6 very tightly just now whilst reading your heartbreaking post.
