Qualcomm engineering has always trumped Apple engineering, this is nothing new.
Where Apple exceeds is business and leadership. Apple doesn’t layoff dedicated employees. Apple conducts itself in a professional manner. Qualcomm will never be accused of that. Rather than lay off thousands of talented employees who have shown loyalty and dedication 15+ years, why not look where the real problems lie. How much did the Maui soirée cost? And for what? Most people have no idea what type of modem is running their devices. They want something that looks cool, in their favorite color, that takes great pictures. New leadership, someone who knows business, is the only way QCOM stays afloat beyond 2025.

Apple may still have the upper hand business-wise due to its ecosystem and services. But if the earlier rumors about Snapdragon Elite are correct, Qualcomm engineering trumps Apple engineering. Much more respect to engineers than developers

@1ovv, homework for you. How does Apple's new generation M3 compare to previous gen M2? You know Snapdragon X Elite beats M2 like a pro. M3 seems to fare poorly compared to X Elite. What a poor comparison of M3 vs M1 at scary fast! It is really spooky ;)

Those buying fastest processor will change. Not touching walled garden. Anyone can peek out and then depends on what they see. Prisoners do not have choice.

All that being said, but show me how can anyone penetrate the walled garden of the fruit company? Then I will be a believer.

It’s a fast moving target. Apple is reportedly announcing next generation next week. What a timing ;)
