It starts to matter a lot with things like AR, video games etc. I work on an AR mobile product and the performance advantage for iOS is substantial. Outside of flagships, the performance of AR on android is pretty bad, while as far back as iPhone 8 you’re maintaining 60fps no problems. I haven’t tested older than that but I tend to believe the oft-quoted 5 year performance lead on the A series chips.

Nobody gives a crap about phone AR. And of those who play games the vast majority play games that don't need performance.
