This is only a very small part of the article, whose main point is not to argue that one device is better than another. But it was striking just how much worse the touch latency is on Samsung devices than on Apple ones.
Every time I say stuff like this based on my experience, people come out of the woodwork telling me that it’s delusional and the non-Apple device is actually superior blah bla blah. But we’re talking 5X latency difference. That’s obviously unusable for anyone who has even an ounce of taste or self-regard…
Apple sucks as a company, and they’re getting worse in all respects that have to do with software, but for the past 20 years the “choice” between Apple devices and non-Apple ones has been a non-choice for anyone who notices details. There are a few exceptions. But on the whole, this has held true.
