>But I don't know how I'm going to get off my iPhone - the CPU is just too fast.

You what? Basically every flagship Android phone has a better CPU (clock speed / cores).

What benches are you looking at?

The iPhone chips straight up are faster in practice in virtually every benchmark I've ever seen.

The OnePlus 7 Pro uses the Snapdragon 855+, which is the fastest Android chip I am aware of. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Single threaded geekbench is hardly a valid benchmark for mobile.

Also the 855+ has better 3D results at times. None of this is here to imply the A1x chips aren’t crushing their android counterparts at single threaded performance. They are likely wayyyy faster, but extra cores, sustained performance, 3D performance, and LTE performance all factor into the over performance of a device.

Not true. They may have more cores/higher clocks, but they aren't more performant. Check out the geekbench scores. Huge performance gap.
