@adamgreenfield one of the things I’ve noticed that makes it a lot harder for people to use a lot of android phones is that a lot of the android market is devices that are not super high spec and there’s an incredible delay between any gesture or tap you do and what actually happens. And this makes it very hard to ever learn how your phone works. It just feels like nothing happens and then random things happen.
@sus so much this. which would be fine…if they had a feature set calibrated to the chipset driving it.
@adamgreenfield not that folks would need amazing processors or whatever if we wrote software for phones that respected their hardware
Aug 11, 2026, 6:10 PM@sus @adamgreenfield I've had Android phones for 15+years, as has my husband. Our adult child has an iPhone.
I've not noticed any delays on the Android phones. Or random things happening.
I spend as much time providing tech support to both of them for iPhone as I do for Android.
Both operating systems have their own idiosyncrasies.
@redcrew This absolutely isn't a problem for all android phones, but for the many folks with underpowered hardware relative to the os and apps on their phone, it is absolutely a problem.
