$200+? 2015? Well it kind of depends what you mean by good enough.
Out of all the Phone I tried, including latest Android, only the iPhone X came close to being fast enough, as in super responsive. I think iOS 11 actually slows things down for everyone, the whole OS is slower then iOS 10, even on iPhone X, which we can't test with iOS 10.
I really wish we could start to focus on Latency Computing. I want things to have a responsive output, or reaction to my input in less then 16ms.
Run Android then. If you need an iPhoneX to run your mobile operating system, then it's an unforgivably bloated pig. An iPhone X is beefier than some workstations I've used as my main gaming and development rigs in the not so distant past.
I am an iPhone user, but did a detour into Android a couple of years ago. Among other phones I had a Moto G (first or second generation) that was probably around 160 Euro. It was very fast and responsive. I didn't feel/see much difference outside games, compared to the Nexus 4/5 and Moto X 2013/14 that were released at the same time.
