Overall the apple iphone 14 pro max beats even the best Android phones because of Apple's in-house closed ecosystem allowing near perfect hardware -software efficiency optimization which is something Android phones such as the OnePlus 11 lacks. Also, many Android OS phones' performance suffers from bloatware and viruses whereas else apple iPhones with its iOS OS have very little of that which allows iPhones to run smoothly and fast even after years of daily use. Also, apple iPhones have a long history of having higher performance benchmarks and being more secure than premium Android phones thanks in large part of apple iPhones getting 6 years of software updates vs androids 3 years. And in addition, iPhones get those software updates more frequently and immediately whereas android phones sometimes have to wait weeks since Android caters to many phone manufacturers proving their "one size fits all" cannot match Apple's in-house closed ecosystem. Once again Apple wins and there's good reason to believe the upcoming apple iphone 15 will continue that apple winning tradition, after all, history has a way of repeating itself. Nuff said
