> 20% performance boost could easily be worth many multiples of 2.4x the cost. clearly not the case for iphone 14. people are not buying new iphone just becaus

  for iphone it doesnt matter I would still got for discounted 13 rather than 14 as you gain mainly GPU core which changes not much. But for things like Macbooks smaller process means a lost, less energy used means less heat and less issues with throttling etc. This is big for MAcs but less so for ipads and iphones.

  Maybe, but again, that's not enough information to make your statement a complete line of thought The iphone 14 does not cost 2.4x more because one component is 2.4x more expensive. What is it now? Idk. A lot has changed since the iphone 13 besides the chip, but it looks like the launch price is $200 more for the 128GB model for the 14 vs. the 13 (~25%). What's the total sales look like? What would the estimated total sales be without it? Not really interested in going further into this.
