Google's Search App and Facebook's various apps for Android undermine these choices in slightly different ways. [3] Developers also suffer higher costs and reduced opportunities to escape Google, Facebook, and Apple's walled gardens. Hardware access APIs, notably: Geolocation. Web OTP (for easier/faster sign-in). Web Bluetooth.

Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. This 2GiB RAM, Android 9 stalwart features the all-too classic lines of a Quad-core A53 (1.4GHz, small mercies) CPU, tastefully presented in a charming 5.5" Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge.

Google founders figured out smart ways to rank websites by analyzing their connection patterns and using that information to improve the relevance of search results. Fast forward to the present day and we find ourselves in a world where the number of connected devices is constantly increasing. Back in the days of Web 1.0,

In each quantum of time, hardware and OS vendors press ahead, adding features. This is often determined by hardware integration and device replacement rates.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). A good starting point is to choose a good default stack for your application.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
