Updating the Performance Inequality Gap series [1] (post soon), but here's a teaser: new CPU charts, by price band. Single-core perf matters for web apps, and I won't sugarcoat; it's grim.
The fastest Androids are half as fast as contemporary iPhones (now 4+ years behind) and volume devices (~$300USD) are 1/5th as fast as iPhones.
Building for iPhones erects walls around wealth and precludes effective access to participation in society for those without means.

Thanks for the article(s)!
I put this page in my bookmarks and Pocket app. I noticed the linked articles have individual <title>'s, but the overall "series" page does not.
I.e. as a bookmark / read-it-later entry, it just says "Infrequently Noted", not "The Performance Inequality Gap".
