The problem when comparing iOS with Android, is that we aren't
comparing ARC with GC.
We are comparing a full OS, which we don't know how much ARC is
actually used versus standard malloc/new with another OS, which
has a
so-and-so VM implementation, used mostly software rendering
until version 4.1, and care for low end devices was only done
in 4.4.
If we add Windows Phone to the mix, then we have a .NET stack
like Android (WP7 - GC/JIT) or in its sucessor (WP8) native
code generation for .NET (GC) with a COM model for OS APIs
(ARC).
Both versions of Windows Phone run smoother that many Android
phones, even the WP7 ones.
Not saying you are not right, just that we need to look at the
whole stack when comparing mobile OS, not just GC vs ARC.
