Quote from: AppleWe may not come up with the technology first, but we make sure that the technology works the best.
EDIT: If you've watched videos about "iPhone vs <enter android device here>" the iPhone does exceedingly well every time. Somehow it does a better job at managing RAM so it can get by with only 3GB where an android device would need much more to complete the same tasks. The processor is very decent (in single core) scores compared to the Snapdragon and can perform most tasks as well or almost as well as other devices.
It's still way overpriced, I'd have to sell my laptop, then a kidney to buy it.
