Early benchmarks shows Samsung Galaxy S9 well behind iPhone X in processor performance
Its job is to annoy. Often successful I would say.foggyhill said:

Since when do Apple fans care about specs? I thought it was all about user experience?lkrupp said:I am amused by the hypocrisy of the “specs mean everything" crowd. Apple has been hammered by this crowd incessantly for years. Geekbench tests have been hung around Apple’s neck like a millstone. Now comes Apple’s custom designed processors that smoke the competition and, miracle of miracles, suddenly these tests are flawed and meaningless. Granted, if you were to put the A11 in an Android phone it probably wouldn’t improve performance much, if any, because of the software. But to the spec monkeys the 8 core Snapdragon simply has to outperform the 6 core A11 because, well, 6 is less than 8. Simple arithmetic, right?
Apple is using the CPU's procesing power for Face ID, that's user experience right there buddy and the fact it's also as always a smaller phone with a bigger battery to feature ratio is also linked to the processing power. Oh, and there is the whole AR thing, lets see if Samsung can actually do anything good there.

Samsung defends Galaxy S9's 'AR Emoji,' says feature doesn't copy iPhone X's Animoji
While the feature name is a bit awkward - at least it is better than "S-Animoji"...

Samsung launches Galaxy S9, S9 Plus with greater focus on smartphone photography
So it is the S8 with a better camera and s/w to create a (poor mans) Animoji? Is Samsung giving up? -
Apple's AirPower mat inches closer to release, again said to arrive in March
No one needs it. No one needs wireless charging. People don't need many of the things that they buy, but they still buy them.racerhomie3 said:I really don’t know why you would need this.
For those with all (or 2 out of 3 subset) of the newer products (iPhone 8/X, AirPods wireless case, Series 3 AW) they can easily charge them at one location at the same time, with one outlet. With nice visible information on the iPhone on how the other devices are charging. It is convenient. Many people pay for small conveniences. Deep thought question answered.

Apple's iPhone outpaces overall smartphone market, Gartner finds
As a side note, into such a relatively flat market as high-end smartphones, Googles late push with the Pixel looks even worse.
