Exactly. ARM has been progressing faster than Intel. For the past 8 years or so, Apple has had the fastest ARM CPU out there on the iPhone/ iPad. Apple has sucked up TSMC's 5nm production. They've integrated a pile of relevant coprocessors into the CPU and put fast RAM on the package. The SSD is lightning fast and SSD encryption is done via a dedicated coprocessor.
It's not one magic trick, it is countless bits of engineering, manufacturing, and purchase choices.
