*None of this basic power & flexibility is ever available to iOS users.*

You can claim this, but the actual numbers are against you. Use has
dropped significantly at is now under 5%, and the vast majority of that
is ancient pages that are not being maintained or sites that are
actively lying about requiring Flash from Desktop users because it is a
simple malware injection path.

Flash is dead, deal with it, It's been feature-frozen for awhile and the
only updates it gets is critical security patches (and these are still
coming fast and furious).

I agree with David Higton, as would all logical sentient adults, that,
while most of us might hate flash, it's still very much there in the real
world.

Just today, in fact, on a new Windows 10 setup, I apparently encountered it
while using Edge for the first time simply reading the news moments ago...

 "Something missing on the page? To help you stay safe, we've blocked 
  Adobe Flash. Click here to turn it on." [Got it]

Luckily there was a popup query above and the settings below to disable:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4441186flash02.jpg>
  "Adobe Flash content was blocked. Do you want to allow Adobe Flash 
   to run on this site?" [Allow once][Always allow]

Remember, all I was doing was reading the news from news.google.com, 
and this particular page was from the Huffington Post, both of which are
normal for people to do.

My point is that despite nospam's insistence of the world being the way he
wishes it would be in his imaginary belief system, Flash is, whether we
like it or not, quite persistent in the real world.

Nonetheless, this thread never was about Flash so nospam is jumping a jig
in delight most likely, since he was singlehandedly able to turn the facts
from those of this spreadsheet into a discussion about Flash - which he
initiated simply by denying obvious facts (which is a common trick of his).
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HI-ejgQF5-OfJdS7yj-YL_we-v1PiMG0_JM8nGAlN38>

The facts with the $130 8-core LG Stylo 3 Plus were that you can buy five
(5) far better in almost all cases Android phones for the stupendously high
price of one (1) 3-core far less functional in most ways iPhone 7 Plus ...
and ... as sms' spreadsheet shows ... 

You can buy two (2) 8-core far more functional in almost all specs Moto X4
phones for the price of a single 5-core far less functional in almost all
specs iPhone 8 ... as summarized below
 *MotoX4 wins* on Resolution functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on Screen Size functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on Pixels Per Inch functionality
 iPhone wins on Geekbench functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on Battery functionality (even with the "courageous" jack)
 *MotoX4 wins* on RAM functionality (with 3 or 4GB being the two options)
 *MotoX4 wins* on Front Camera Pixels functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on Front Flash functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on NFC functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on SDcard functionality (up to 2TB storage)
 *MotoX4 wins* on "courageous" headphone jack functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on FM radio functionality 
 *MotoX4 wins* on USB OTG functionality
 *MotoX4 wins* on Waterproofing (even with the "courageous" headphone jack)
 *MotoX4 wins* on Price (by a whopping 100%)

While nospam was successful in derailing this thread, these facts remain.
Facts are funny that way.

that particular page works perfectly fine *without* flash, as does the
entire huffington post site.

<https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/prince-harry-sings-hamilton-meghan-
markle_us_5b879196e4b0511db3d4bf63>

if flash is installed but disabled, it will ask to enable it.

however, if flash is *not* installed at all, you *automatically* get
the html5 version of the site and without any popups to enable
anything. it actually works *better* without flash.

I never said it didn't work fine - so you're just playing your silly
semantic games again, nospam.

I said flash *existed* at that web site.

No amount of your imaginary claims from inside your imaginary world can
wish that fact away.

The point is that flash *exists* in the real world.

Only in your imaginary world do you deny facts that all *adults* agree on.

As always, you nospam live in an imaginary world of your own concoction.
Not only do you fabricate quoted content but you can't comprehend words.

I said, verbatim:

Notice I never once said that flash was needed to view the site.

As always, everything nospam posts proves that he lives in his own
childishly imaginary world outside of the actual realities of real world.

It works in other browsers too, but it's a minor point so I wouldn't let
nospam derail the overall topic, which is that the Moto X4 seems to be
about half the price of the far less functional iPhone 8.

The last time we did an apples-to-apples detailed comparison, the 64GB $130
8-core LG Stylo 3 Plus was five times less expensive than a far less
functional $640 64GB 3-core iPhone 7 Plus.

To obtain a more accurate comparison, do you have a price for the 8-core
64GB Moto X4 so we can make a more accurate comparison on price than just
"about half" for the 5-core 64GB iPhone 8?

Also, does Apple also throttle the iPhone 8 to half the CPU speeds after
about a year (I haven't looked at the throttling since I initially broke
the news to this newsgroup earlier in the year - where - the world will
note that nospam and the other Apple Apologists essentially blamed Android
for Apple's secret, drastic, and permanent throttling of the iPhone 7 Plus
such that it was even a worse comparison than the one we made in December
to the five-times-less-expensive but far-more-functional Android equivalent
phone.

There are almost no quad-carrier, smaller screen, mid-range or high-end 
Android phones available anymore, so the Moto X fills a niche. What's 
also nice is that they do full Android upgrades, they pushed out Oreo a 
while back. There are a few smaller GSM/LTE models but they tend to be 
very low end. Not everyone wants a phablet. My wife could have chosen an 
iPhone Plus, instead of a non-Plus, from work, but didn't want a larger 
phone.

It will be interesting to see what the next iPhone generation has in 
terms of screen sizes. They are predicted to introduce a 5.8", 6.1", and 
6.5" model, but whether or not their is a smaller one, similar to the 
current non-plus models, remains to be seen. You may have to go down to 
an SE to get a smaller screen. They could do a bezel-less 5.2" to 5.3" 
in the same form factor as the current iPhone non-plus.

Counting cores is meaningless, You need to look at actual 
performance.The Stylo 3 Plus has a dismal Geekbench multicore result of 
2578, the iPhone 8 is at 10178. That said, I've never found the Stylo 3 
Plus to lag, but I don't play games that would use a lot of CPU power. I 
also don't have full-encryption turned on, which is a big CPU drain.

> Also, does Apple also throttle the iPhone 8 to half the CPU speeds after
> about a year

Unlikely. If you look at the iPhone 8 design, the power section has been 
significantly upgraded from the iPhone 7/6s/6, with the addition of 
third PMIC 
<http://techinsights.com/about-techinsights/overview/blog/apple-iphone-8-teardown/#06>

The root cause of the throttling was not an aged battery, but a new 
battery did mitigate the issue. When doing power management design you 
need to account for the reduced capacity of Li-Ion batteries as they age 
and ensure that your power solution can deliver sufficient current even 
from an older battery.

Idiot Alan Baker.

You Apple Apologists incessantly play the silliest of childish games.

You, Alan Baker, *never* click on the links.
You make your claims completely *outside of facts*.

HINT: The link is within the link which you didn't even click on so you
didn't even *read* what the link pointed you to which proved beyond any
shadow of a doubt what *intelligent* logical sentient adults made out of
Apple's apology - plus - there were plenty of cross references to what the
*lawsuits* said (and soon, we hope, what the *judges* say).

Look at my posts to adults such as those to sms, where I do plenty of
research simply because he's not a child.

He's an adult.

It's not my job to hunt from link to link for YOUR support for YOUR claims.

You claim there's "proof":

Quote it.
