Apple's iPhones always crush their Android-powered counterparts in key benchmark tests. In fact, new Android flagship phones have been known to fall short of iPhones that are one year old, or even two years old. Take this year's iPhone 11 series, for example. The flagship iPhone 11 Pro scores around 5,500 in the single-core Geekbench test, while multi-core scores tend to fall between 13,700 and 13,800. To put that in perspective, the OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ both feature 2019 Snapdragon processors and a whopping 12GB of RAM, which is triple the 4GB of RAM in the iPhone 11 Pro. So how do they perform in the same Geekbench tests? Single-core scores for both phones are in the 3,000 range, while multi-core scores are in the low 11,000s.
There are plenty of factors that contribute to the iPhone's performance advantages over Android smartphones, but they're almost all accounted for with one simple statement: Apple controls as much of the iPhone as it can, on a component level. Apple doesn't just develop a new iPhone design and then stuff other companies' software and parts into it. Instead, Apple designs the hardware, it develops its own iOS software, and it even makes its own A-series chipsets to power the devices. By developing all of these key pieces side by side, the end result is far better optimized than a phone made by an Android vendor can ever hope to be. Now, according to a new report, Apple is looking to take control of yet another key piece of the iPhone puzzle.
