I honestly don't know why smartphones got so powerful and expensive, and why everyone just rolled with it. No one iPhone user needs the hardware that the latest iPhone provides, and I'm sure as hell Apple doesn't even let you push that hardware to its limits. The average Joe just uses an instant messenger app and maybe a few social media apps, and that's it. Who in the world actually needs hardware so powerful and compact on a phone that it is on the verge of experiencing quantum tunneling?

Well, more power efficiency is always better and chips are the opposite of cars. The faster the chip can finish doing its calculations and go back to sleep, the less power it will end up using.
