However giving the performance of last generation iphones (or mid-level and up smart phones in general, apple is ahead but even the CPUs used by modern android phones are still fast), things should have been plenty fast before.. Not arguing that differences can be measured, but I doubt that the raw performance difference is immediately noticed by a user?
In other words, once you reached "fast enough" for most tasks you are in an area of diminishing returns performance wise (if however a newer process also allows more power efficiency that might enable longer run-times, which IMHO people will more sensitive to; e.g. I would probably notice a 10% increase in use-time on a single battery load relatively quickly, but I would likely not notice a 10% increase in CPU performance at all).
