Granted the XsMax was released last vs the GS10 just a couple of weeks ago. I was still surprised at the result. Just a fluke or specs on paper aren't every thing. I'm always expecting the Galaxy devices to come in second. Notice I didn't say lagging in second.

I had the XS Max before.. the processor is the best out there but iOS is very limiting.
 
I am sure that, once the A13 Bionic chipset arrives, it may be a very different story.
 
Until IOS gets real Widgets , some kinda home screen where you can place things where you want them instead of where apple says you can I'm just not interested .

Honestly I try out a iPhone every year thinking maybe this time will be the time . But it's just to many limitations .
I mainly try it so I can do imessage games with my kids .
 
iOS is very boring. Keep waiting on them to release something I just have to have, but ever year I end up underwhelmed by their offerings. Kinda like Toyota/Honda although those aren't good references seeing that their new vehicles are actually eye catching and futuristic looking lol...
 
As a firm believer in using whatever device fits my needs, and not subscribing to the juvenile and tired Android vs iOS flame war, I have loved every Apple device i've owned, with the exception of the iPhone X, which I traded in for the S10+. I like iOS because it just works, with very minimal fuss. I've spent the last couple of weeks with my S10+ tracking down every erroneous notification i've received; an issue I never had with iOS. Yes you get more granular control with Android but some people don't want that or even need it, and for them iOS is perfect.

FaceID didn't work as well as it was advertised. It's secure as all hell just often in a dark room or if i'm wearing a hat or glasses, it wouldn't work.

It works much better on the Xs. That's why I keep trying to tell people that the in display fps on the S10 will need at least another generation to be reliable.

When I first got into smartphones back in 2006 with my first Blackberry, I was looking at the IPhone. At the time, I was more interested in the proprietary communications aspect. Then, I took another look at the iPhone after my fourth Blackberry 9000 series and decided on the GS3 becoming an avid Android convert even though my wife had the iPhone 3G. Lately, for me, I have increasingly less rigid and more concerned with which platform provides the best solution for me. Until Apple delivers a device with true multitasking, USB C, no notch, fps, widgets and other customization, I am not that interested. For the longest time, it seemed like Samsung was always playing catch up throwing everything in but the kitchen sink with a dozen different models and variants. Now, it seems that the paradigm is shifting in Samsungs favor. Apple is slowly adopting features from Android and adapting them to their ecosystem, just not at a pace that would allow them to be on par and retake their lead. This may be an oversimplification for most. Just my two cents.

Honestly I couldn’t care less if the iPhone scores 500-1000 more benchmarking points than its Android competitor...because in real life I simply don’t notice.

At some point in the next couple of years consumers aren’t going to notice (if they aren’t already not noticing now) the difference in performance between the Apple A15 Bionic, Kirin 1000, Exynos 9850 and Snapdragon 885. The last 3 will all be paired with 8-12GB of RAM and even the A15 will probably have 6GB+. The only area phone CPUs will really need to improve in 2 years or so isn’t speed, but power efficiency, AI and camera processing ability.
 
At this point, neither would I. Until there is true multitasking, USB C, no notch, and in display fps. Not holding my breath.

Not having split screen apps announced at WWDC was the final nail in the coffin for me. Why should I still be waiting for a feature I could use on my original galaxy note.
