I&#x27;m curious of what the general consensus is if we made it [pun] more apples to apples by comparing current state Nexus 5x&#x2F;6p @ Android 6.x vs iPhone 6s  @ iOS 9.x?  Android, today, seems to be riddled with the legacy a la Microsoft - wherein XP is still at large, seemingly a similar problem with Android 3&#x2F;4&#x2F;5 still in use...<p>But is the <i>cutting edge</i> comparison really that much more skewed in Apple&#x27;s favor?<p>I&#x27;d say that prior to the improvement on patch cycles as of recent in Android - iOS had an edge, but - outside of the walled garden I&#x27;m still very curious on the quality between the two with specific regard to the SDLC and resulting output.
