I also read a breakdown of the touch screen scan rate (the refresh rate at which touch gestures are captured), which was significantly faster for ios devices. That also contributed to the difference in feel. Do you know if android devices have "caught up?"

I have had an S3, iPhone 5, and HTC One (M7) and the iPhone 5 definitely felt the smoothest, but now I'm interested in seeing if the M8 really has leveled the playing field.

The scan rate isn't typically the worst factor, which is usually between 120-300hz (meaning a max additional latency of 3 - 30ms), but rather deriving meaning from that data is. Filtering in a noise-free environment typically adds a few scan frames of latency, which is what puts devices in the 60-120ms of latency, and a noisy environment (i.e. plugged in to a cheap charger) can easily up that to a few hundred ms of latency.
