I think you don't understand me, I talking about optimization, Switch is a console, hole Switchs OS, tools, APIs, hardware... all is totaly adjusted to take most of games on first and last place, hole Switch is made to use most of games, while iOS and Android are quite opposite and you cant say same thing for iOS and Android devices, they are made in order to do different wide variety of things, they are not focused on games.

Saying that because Switch has 1 GHZ CPU we should expect similar performance like iPad that also has 1 GHZ, is same like saying that PS4 can run games same like PC with 1.5 GHZ CPU.

Actually, you really can't compare iOS to the Android like that in terms of optimization. The former is a very closed platform just like consoles with a solid software development stack and has relatively high technical infrastructure standards compared to most of it's competing devices so you can be very well sure that it's devices are just as well optimized as consoles are like the Switch is. The latter on the other hand is mired with beyond terrible video drivers, lagging CPU designs compared to Apple and they STILL haven't dropped support for 32-bit apps makes sure that Android will remain as a dumpster fire of a platform for performance critical application development in the foreseeable future ... 

I would say that iOS development environment is pretty comparable to the Switch in terms of high performance game development ... 

Performance on iOS will mostly depends on the device running the game so it'll be interesting to see how the Switch compares to the iPhone X but it's a very high comparison point even for the Switch ... 

I think I can, despite iOS is more closed platform than Android they are both platforms that are not focused on games and are built with mind to do similar things like computers and to work onwide variety of different types of hardware. So my point still stands, again, Switch is a console, hole Switch OS, tools, APIs, hardware... all is totaly made in way to take most of games on first and last place, hole Switch is made to use most of games, while you cant say same thing for iOS.
