Android may have actually caught up in the gaming department. Gameloft develops titles for both mobile OS. However though, there are still more developers for iOS.

I know the gap has closed considerably but the Apple marketing machine has kept them with some juicy exclusives.

using GPU benchmarks as a landmark for iphones against android is not quite right seeing as on android,there is a GPU dependency for things such as games,on iphones the use of the GPU and CPU is coherent,so where there are GPU downings,the CPU acts as a support system...And as far as CPU testing goes,you should understand that single core testing is important when comparing iphone and other chips(A8 and 801) whereas the A8 chip is dual-core,the 801 is quad!This says a lot as the A8 still beats the 801 in multi-core performance...

And so? The 5s did the same by a few hundreds. But on multi core performance (which of course matters most to me), snapdradon 801 smacks the A7 by several thousands. The A8 vs 801 cannot be any different. Let the benchmark softwares be fully optimised first b4 reaching any conclusion.

Still it is amazing performance considering that these are only dual core processors. Granted the iOS software is optimised for the hardware but when you compare it to the much celebrated quad and octa core performances you have to wonder whether they are really worth the hype.

Personally, I am sticking with Android for now until some other OS can offer me features I regularly use my smartphone for. I did think I'd be wooed by Apple move iPhone to larger screens but I took a critical look at what I enjoying using my smartphone phone to do. Apple and MS have not yet offered me those features.

Me too. I had a WinMo 6.5 phone a few years ago and I came to hate the experience but recent versions are interesting me but not enough to sway me yet.

Anyone who has used a Lumia 1520 (which uses the SnapDragon 800 and has a 1080p display) will tell you that it blows the little A8 inside the Iphone 6 plus in performance. Web browser scrolling is atleast 4x smoother and faster.
AND Lumia 1520 has significantly better battery life.

SO DONT LIE AND SAY THE A8 BlOWS THE SNAPDRAGON 800 BECUASE THE SNAPDRAGON DOESNT COME IN A 1.32GHZ DUAL CORE Snapdragon 800 is A BEAST with >2.3GHZ QUAD CORE WITH ADRENO 300

And as far as Windows Phone 8.1...The nexus 5 has the same exact processor and even it is beat by the Lumia 1520 in benchmark. Better performing drivers.

AND THE SNAPDRAGON 800 is >14 MONTHS OLD

That's a GPU benchmark test, as aforementioned, Apple's devices are behind in graphics benchmarks. This is well known
