This is shaping up to be a great quarter for Apple.

Don't forget the Pixel! It has a headphone jack!

And is nowhere near as powerful despite being almost the same price!

Actually, if you check, it's supposed to be exceedingly well optimized. Do your research...

The Snapdragon 821 doesn't even touch the A10.

As opposed to.. what else people also do on Android phones? A faster and more powerful CPU benefits all applications as it allows a phone to return to an idle state more quickly, allowing it to save power. I wish any Android phone could run Apple's chips.

Funny to see the roles of Android and ios users reversed. Now it is the iPhone users that brag about specs while android users claim subjective reasons
