Dunno if you guys thought of this either, but the iPhone seems like it’s the fastest performing smartphone on the market, when in reality it’s just the most clever at hiding performance clogs. Rather than put the presentation layer somewhere beneath other “more important” layers, the presentation layer is seen as something UBER necessary, and as such it is prioritized higher than other OS level dependencies.
That’s why the iPhone seems so much better than windows mobile, just because it seems faster, regardless of actual specs.
