I'm saying all this for a reason. I'm probably experiencing slightly downgraded graphics because my phone is 3 years old. Interesting. I didn't know this was hrdware dependent and yes it is annoying.

FWIW, my 3-4 year old iPhone 6 was showing it. Maybe it's iOS vs Android? I've never had it with my S7 on Android. Yes. It is an IOS v Android thing. I never knew a difference because I started with and continue to use IOS. But over the past few years, several folks on my race team have switched from Android to IOS. All have commented on several graphics they had never knew were there before. And said it is much easier to improve times using IOS. Not sure why. I have wondering about this, better times on iOS that is. People have debated it over the years. I've only played on Android. I have been recently testing my wifes XR. I didn't notice any handling changes, but I certainly noticed the nice red ball in the middle of my screen! But back to handling...

I have not done extensive testing yet. It's possible that I could find 0.5 seconds on iOS. 0.5 seconds overall is just 0.05 on 10 corners! That's a very subtle improvement.

Without much effort in WTTT, I was getting top 50% times in a loaner car with no upgrades on the XR. So the transition from Android to iOS was easy.

It's not just OS, it's hardware AND how the 2 relate to each other. Since everything in an Apple phone was made for that Apple phone, things could gel just a bit better. With Android you have an OS from here, a main chip from there, a gyroscope from who knows where, and so on and so on. With Apple... it's Apple!

I'm strongly leaning to Apple for my next phone. Mainly because Android stopped allowing the use of internal Audio recording with Screen Recorders on almost all (if not all) Android devices. Also, Apple gets updates out earlier almost every time.
