Well, the A-chips are the best product Apple makes. Their per core performance is pretty nuts compared to what's available for Android devices. Just need a phone with google software, Apple internals and Samsung hardware.

        I don't like Apple and iPhone, but man!!! Do they know how to build SoCs or what!!

        Before, android processors could come close to iPhone's multi-core score, but If the cores can be independently addressed then android processors won't be able to touch iPhone anytime soon.

        iPhone fans will be delighted and will mock androids for years to come. As an android fan I can't understand why android chipmakers can't make chip as powerful as A series chips.

            My 5s got 11, and still more stable and lighter than my friend’s $300 android phone. I mean, it’s still worthed to keep the iPhone for 4years. Even for 5years.

            I think i will get the 6s or 7 next year. It will be way cheaper when i9 comes out

            Sure, i could choose many Android. New released. But idk, there’s something that makes iPhone feels great. And i dont talk about prestige. I always buy 2 years behind iPhone. Never buy a new released one. Expensive af.

                When you have chip powerful like this, it only means one thing - every IOS update will lag the older generation of phones.

                  Last time Apple bought a quad core processor tho found out it was just a dual core processor and the two efficient cores were never detected by any benchmark. Apple said they are hidden and activates automatically. This was completely different from the big little architecture of Android phones where the efficient cores are also alreast detected by the benchmarking tools. This time Apple did nothing but increased the invisible cores. So again they will never be detected and Apple iPhone remains a dual core processor phone once again. And people will be fooled again in buying a cheap charity product at ultra high price.

                    I see a lot of people cheering because of the specs. I thought Apple fans didn't care about specs, numbers...it was more like an experience thing? hahaha

                    But yeah, Apple chips are way ahead of the game, that's true.

                      As usual, apple fanboys always desperately trying to bring up that iphone's chip is the fastest, but always fail to realize that it's running its own OS, and not android. When that a11 chip were to run on android, or sd, exynos, etc. to run ios, then i'd consider seeing all your comparisons.

How can you compare android ( full of features and very customizable ) with ios ( no customization or features ; just basic features)

                                  https://youtu.be/vMiTOKKX7ek Android phones performance is pathetic, hard to believe These are top Android phones from 2017.

                                  This year Apple is going to be 3 years ahead.

                                    ...and it will be ahead of 3 to 4 years against android chips, top android chips still can't match A9 in iPhone 6S, this is a joke, Qualcomm and Samsung need to do something about it

                                      CPU wise is OK for Apple... But.. GPU wise? Are you using the Furian GPU?

                                        6 cores and 4 digit price.
                                        Iphones are getting too expensive.
