With Phones, using a wide CPU design that runs at a lower clock has been Apple's strategy for quite some time.
For instance, when power leakage became a huge issue at 20nm, Apple was less affected since they ran their clocks so much lower.
>Apple is something of the exception here, with the 20nm A8 proving to be a solid SoC, thanks in part to their wide CPU design allowing them to achieve good performance without using high clockspeeds that would exacerbate the problem.
