iOS ships the same speed phones as Android with half the RAM. So I’d say here’s a real comparison of ARC vs tracing GC.

And the Android rules the mobile world with 80% market share.

Also iOS applications tend to crash due to memory leaks or not enough memory being available.

So yeah a real comparison.

Iphones are 3 generations ahead in terms of single core CPU performance, so that’s just a biased take.
