Touch lag - Why does this problem stille exist?

[A895]

Yeah, I can see all that. Personally, I'm not interesting in hacking, nodding, and tweaking too much. I'm never really going to rom or do all that. The most I do is add different home launcher and widgets. I prioritize performance too because I play games on my phone. So I hope android gets better at that.

At games? I don't see how performance in games is hampered if you have a newer phone. RAM has nothing to do with game performance, that is all GPU.

I mainly am thinking of going full time on my android phone for a reason that may or may not actually be true: with android, I don't feel beholden to a specific company. If I use a android phone, I feel more free to use a mix and match of other stuff as I see fit. Wether that be windows machines, Apple computers, rokus, android tablets, iPads, etc. if I went with iPhone, then I feel I can sorta only use iPads, Apple tvs, and macs. I don't feel as flexible with my purchases.

Main reason I am hesitant to get an iPhone. Ecosystem and hardware lock in. Not my style.

I still think I pads are great and I'm considering getting a macbook. That's why I was back and forth if I should just use the iPhone then. I would at least get continuity, although if I didn't go iphone I would still get continuity between the Ipad and macbook

You can have continuity on Android too.

Not to the same extent. I think you would need something like push bullet, no?

I use a Nexus 7(2013) and iPad Air(2013) on a daily basis and honestly I see no difference in touch response time between them.

Airdroid, PushBullet and Mightytext. Only thing missing is using your computer as a Bluetooth receiver for calls.

Not everyone notices the difference, but unless the idevice is screwed up, it's there.
Unfortunately this is something in very sensitive to so I continue to hope it will improve. On that note, it looks like work has begun to better handle rendering through task isolation (initially this render thread work just applies to the material animations), but it can compete with Apple's tight latencies until Google includes a driver certification program for the touch screen.
