This is pretty much what it comes down to. The latest iPhone models aren't really that far beyond any decent Android phone in terms of hardware at this point.The real secret sauce is iOS. Google is well aware of this, which explains the existence of Fuchsia. Once they have a full mobile OS based off of that, Apple will finally see competition in the high end market.
