      This stuff always makes people defensive, but it’s better to make informed decisions. There is no dismissing this data, period. It’s not just a number score, the specs are there for you to read. The equivalent Samsungs have twice the RAM and two more processor cores than their apple counterparts.

        You aren’t informing yourself when you read versus.com You’re comparing numbers and those numbers are often not comparable because they either aren’t counting the same thing or they’re an implementation detail that doesn’t affect the actual outcome. Versus.com is essentially worthless search spam.

        For example, comparing cores and clock cycles between different architectures is useless.

            Is not that simple either. Hz don’t equal hz and cores don’t equal cores.

              That’s not a statement based in reality, there’s no magic going on here. It’s just cycle speed and information per cycle. If your argument is that the versus.com comparison leaves out the less significant factors, I’ve looked at those comparisons before I made my first reply and the S23 beats those too.

                No one said there’s magic. You’re just flat out wrong.

                But really, an AI generated spam search result isn’t something you should use as proof of anything.

                  That wasn’t my only proof though, it was just a convenient method to quickly provide hardware comparisons. If you don’t like looking at the numbers behind your device hardware that would explain why you make claims that iPhones have better hardware even though all the numbers are smaller. There must be some Apple wizard somewhere making up the difference.

              The iPhone 14 cpu uses ARM architecture, the S23 cpu uses ARM architecture. How would you come to the conclusion that I’m saying they’re the same chips?
