I see this latest A12 chip is just under 10% faster than the Kirin 980 ... 

When you speak to some iPhone owners, they speak like it's 5 years ahead of anything on the market and annihilates everything else.

But 10%, really?

I think you're missing the point. I found this site by Googling and stumbled upon a few a articles where the comments where 'iPhone is the best and kills everything in every way! Years ahead of the competition and nothing get's close! I'm so glad I bought one and you bought one!' etc etc etc If you see my first post, it was a fairly polite nudge saying 'hey guys ... none of you have used or want an Android, but be aware they're actually ahead in many categories'. 

I almost expected to get something that acknowledges that the hardware isn't quite up there, but the phone was preferred due to iOS and ecosystem. Imagine my surprise when that didn't happen and there was a fight over the specs. 

I'm on multiple technical smartphone sites and the first I've come across where the arguments make zero sense, where everything is ignored and the iPhone is simple the best at everything. It's almost like a cult or something

In conclusion, Mate 20 Pro has crappy real world battery life, the worst OLED display ever, and somewhere between 2-3 years behind Apple custom CPU.  In other works, your device is PURE SH!T.

If we look at the benchmarks on the CPU (which aren't even fair), there's actually not even a 10% multi core difference between the A12 and the Mate20Pro. And Apple is going wild about the fastest, most advanced, 5 year ahead of everything SoC?  Very selective of an engineer I'm glad you're not saying the Apple prefers it hat way and the market isn't ready for larger batteries though

This all get's back to my statement that Apple should maybe focus on something else (ie a battery) rather than a SoC of instead of 10% faster chip which really does nothing in the real world.

Hi all,

I'm making a decision between iPhone XS and iPhone XR for the holidays. The deciding factors in my purchasing decision are one-handed use and battery life as I cannot discern the differences between LCD and OLED unless I look for them. iPhone XS offers better one-handed use whereas iPhone XR offers better battery life... for now.

It's rumoured that iOS 13 will have a design overhaul and quite possibly dark mode. Dark mode will undoubtedly save battery on the OLED panels, but the question is whether the amount of battery it saves will put the battery life of the iPhone XS on par with the iPhone XR in normal day-to-day use. If so, I'll end up going with the iPhone XS for its one-handed use; otherwise, I'll end up going with the iPhone XR.

Any help would be appreciated.
