It's been a long long looooong time that android doesn't use a JVM anymore (but a VM with anyway). It's doesn't even really use "java" at all but kotlin

Moreover, it's a long time that VM have more or less same performances as compiled code (with JIT, AOT, etc.)

But you're free to buy an iPhone if you want. Just use the rights reasons (for example: don't compare a new top of line IPhone with an old budget Android phone... there's high-end android phones too, with performances in line with iphones... and same kind of price tags ;-) )

Yes, but you have to go several years back on the iPhone side: a $300 iPhone 13 from 2021 handily outperforms a new $1k Galaxy S23 Ultra on most web benchmarks and anything else which doesn’t use every core and the GPU heavily.

TFA shows otherwise, do you have a reason why it would be wrong?

but the article shows top of the line androids being dominated by even old iphones

In Geekbench, which doesn't correspond to real world use. Mid-budget Android phones handily outperformed top of the line iPhones on time to interactive in productivity apps until recently, and now they are merely neck and neck. https://9to5google.com/2023/03/01/galaxy-s23-ultra-speed-tes...
