> iPhone 7 CPU beat Intel Core i7700K in some benchmarks

Ehhh that's a >5 year old CPU. I wouldn't describe it as "extremely powerful" even on a phone.

Anecdotally, going from an iPhone 8 to a 13 pro max was a night and day difference. Not just because the CPU was noticably faster, but because the 120Hz display makes everything more responsive. Sure you don't need that hardware for a chat app but unless some product guy forces the issue, devs aren't even gonna notice fps dropping below 120 because most of them don't use ancient phones.
