Apple has a weaker software but is getting saved by better hardware. And that's of course not an isolated situation: I'd argue the mac also is getting weaker software wise [0], but the hardware is pulling it ahead of the competition in many respects. The iPad is also the poster child of that trend. That's the reverse from the PowerPC situation when they had weaker hardware but more dev mindshare and nicer user experience bringing people into the fold even as they couldn't compete on raw performance. [0] Windows has caught up on the *nix integration and hidpi/energy efficiency front, linux has gotten better support emulation layers (especially Proton), while macos has been fighting devs to make it more iOS like.
