I believe they use a crippled version of Android. China graduates a LOT more engineers than the US. I'm sure you know Android, iOS and OSX all started from UNIX. I don't see any impediments for them to improve their Android versions. Getting high end chip foundry machines is an impediment but who needs super high end chips for phones? The only reason I care about a faster phone is boot up time, which is not a big problem. Interfaces like Googlemap's shitty interface and advertisements are a way bigger problem even on Android. But they have street view. Apple gave up on that. I use it constantly on my computers. Youtube is becoming a problem with advertisements covering every square inch. But its still the king of "how to" videos and short video. I doubt I I'll ever buy into subscriptions for video. I don't suffer for free content. I'm definitely not interested in Apple's content. I HATE what Apple is doing to their computers. OSX is still the best... but soldering in SSDs just sucks. Worse you're stuck with it even on Macs that can have 2 SSDs but only have one. No adding last I looked.

> What OS are they using for the Huawei phone? Android 13 Warning Signs Grow Apple Is Losing China Consumers to Huawei The iPhone 15 series saw a 6% decline in sales in its launch month compared with the prior year, according to data from market researcher GfK that covers end-consumer sales for all channels. Mobile industry tracker IDC estimates Apple’s shipments were down 4% in the third quarter, with both identifying Huawei Technologies Co.’s return to the mobile arena spotlight as a key event in the period. Huawei’s Mate 60 series recorded sales of close to 1.5 million in its launch month, more than doubling from a year ago, GfK said, despite facing supply constraints. “Against the backdrop of the strong growth of Huawei, Apple iPhone 15 series registered a 6% decline in sales,” said Hayden Hou, China senior analyst at GfK. “Huawei Mate 60 series will continue to maintain its strong sales momentum going forward.” Shenzhen-based Huawei abruptly released its Mate 60 and 60 Pro smartphones in the weeks leading up to the latest iPhone’s launch, drawing buyers and attention with its made-in-China Kirin processor, an apparent breakthrough in its fight to overcome US trade sanctions. Huawei’s net profit more than doubled in the September quarter, reflecting at least in part strong initial sales of the Mate 60 Pr0. ------------- The Kirin isn't nearly as fast but its really a great leap forward. I don't think it'll be long before it catches up.
