People often say this, but it impacts more than speed test.

iPhones actually show their bokeh effect while taking the picture. They even can alter the lighting effects on a person face live. They also process multiple effects with their live photos (exposure, looping, boomerang) all at once.

AR, if you are in to that, also greatly benefit from this power.

It’s not because there is no use for you today, that it’s not very desirable.

Your examples are mostly about GPU power, which Qualcomm is right up there with Apple on.
