> You can leave out properties from kernel to be done by OS apps. Doable on Linux as well. If this is better for performance this most likely already would have been implemented. Besides this is not concrete. With concrete I mean things that are known to be implemented with M1 that for example Asahi won't be able to replicate. > You can make hardware based submodules, such as DCP interface on M1 macs, main target of discussion on Asahi Linux (https://asahilinux.org/2021/08/progress-report-august-2021/ https://asahilinux.org/2021/08/progress-report-august-2021/). This is just hardware. Even so this example is a non-starter since DCP will be supported by Linux. > You can add own instruction sets for own purposes. Something which is hard to add for Linux kernel. It's actually not hard. It's trivial if you add compiler support(which Apple most likely would for, you guessed it, LLVM). There are actually some custom instructions on M1 afaik, mostly used for being able to run X86 more efficiently. > https://www.quora.com/Why-are-iPhone-processors-more-efficient-and-faster-than-Android-phones https://www.quora.com/Why-are-iPhone-processors-more-efficie... Where the top 4 points being pure hardware. Point 5 being about specific design decisions done in Android which doesn't mean anything. Point 7 even says that the most likely performance increase would be custom co-processors which again is pure hardware. I'm not sure what this link is supposed to achieve but it arguments are opposed to Apple being better because of Software hardware magic. > https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-iPhone-need-so-much-less-RAM-than-Android-devices https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-iPhone-need-so-much-less-... This link again mentions the design decisions why Android is less responsive. The main culprit mentioned on why Android uses more RAM is that Android implemented by vendors have a load more bloat. This has nothing to do with magic hardware software combo. This is Android from vendors being trash.
