I personally can't wait for open sourcing of mobile drivers / driver apis. That will finally allow stuff like turning off phone components for Linux mobile system and not have gyro for some specific phones.
Are you saying Android has less features and capabilities? Or am I reading it wrong?
Ahh I see, thanks!
The reason I was confused is that I was assuming this is about older iPhones, you know, the ones Apple is deliberately slowing down. So installing a lightweight Android ROM could give them a new lease on life.
I would assume it's to use the chips but that only works if they're forced to provide proper drivers for the full hardware
