I don't know enough about supply chains to recognise whether what most of what you're saying is true or not, but "Mediatek has caught up to them on the SoC side of thing" is so laughably false that I seriously doubt the rest of what you say. The best MediaTek CPU is about 3/4 the speed of the best Apple one. "I personally went back to Android this generation when my iPhone 13 became unusable." - perhaps you're letting your situation affect your bias...

3/4 the speed is actually very very good, given how fast iPhones are! 3/4 the speed together with much better battery and cameras is clearly better, especially since you cannot run iPhones in Desktop Mode. 3/4 the speed of the best iPhone is way more speed than 99.9% of users need.

No offense but you could have checked before accusing me of bias. Here is a summary of the benchmarks. [1] The Dimensity 9500 scores above the A19 Pro in AnTuTu 10 and Multicore GeekBench 6. A19 Pro has better Single Core Geekbench 6 results but that only around 10%. The Dimensity 9500 GPU scores are also better but that was already the case for the previous generation. Apple used to have a significant lead on the SoC side of things. That's over. Both Mediatek and Qualcomm are competitive nowadays. And before people come back explaining to me that it hardly matters because the A19 Pro is more power efficient, my current Chinese phone battery is 1.5 times larger than the one in the Iphone 19 Pro Max and I have more than two full days of use between charges, which are obviously significantly faster than on the iPhone.
