Performance of the cheapest iPhone available today is greater than the most expensive android phone, so this is a moot point. You need to upgrade the Android hardware just to maintain parity.

CPU performance, sure. But there are other things like power consumption, cameras, LTE performance and band support, etc that are also a factor.

Personally, I dont think CPU performance has been an important factor for years on midrange and higher phones, but that's a matter of opinion.

CPU performance directly impacts performance of those other elements.
