It seems entirely reasonable to me that no Iphone user actually
noticed, let alone cared about, such a performance issue. Do *any*
Iphone users actually do anything important with their devices, that
might have been affected by performance limitations? They bought them
just as showpieces -- items of adornment, to be flaunted rather than
used. “Look at me! I have no idea how this actually works, but it
looks pretty! I have more money than sense!”

So that would be "no", but you lack the balls to just say so.

Fine. Don't buy one.
But many people find inherent value in the device AS A WHOLE.
That's just a fact.
The suggestion that, "Iphone users [don't] actually do anything
important with their devices" is just so much bullshit.
Agreed?
That they, "bought them just as showpieces" is in almost every case bullshit.
Agreed?
And clue time:
Almost every person who buys a computing device...
...including those who use Linux and even those who build their machines from components...
..."have no idea how [they] actually work."
Just like people who buy cars don't know how internal combustion engines work.
So, you have a chance here to show that you're not quite the asshole Lawrence is.
Will you step up?
I very much doubt it.

To my knowledge, the average smartphone user is about the same whether
with the higher-end-Android or iOS devices.

I know enough about how they work to know that even for developers that
kind of knowledge is of questionable importance.

I very much doubt it.
It's not that I think you're really so bad, Alan, but Lawrence isn't soI'm sorry, but his way of thinking about people is revealed in his posts...
bad, a little preoccupied with Linux and other such software, but I
don't blame him when it's really the only viable platform to me.

Well seeing as Joel "Warren" Crump enjoys his trans male girlfriend
screwing him in the ass I doubt he has functioning balls.
The estrogen he takes has caused them to shrivel up.
