Apple's phones tend to have less memory, and fewer (but faster) cores. Along with Objective-C's reference counting, I think those are very smart choices for typical mobile app workloads. In principle having lots of cores available is great, but in practice it's hard to utilise them effectively without also using tons of memory and/or battery.
