It’s unfair to blame Apple for the timing disparity; they have maintained a consistent September release cycle for years, which is a standard industry schedule.
Apple is the one who set the Sept release schedule. They release a chip, and Snapdragon releases theirs a month later. Same year, same generation chip. For some reason you want to split them up into different calendar years even though they are a month apart. It's unfair to compare a 2025 chip to a 2026 one.
I understand your point, but Samsung ultimately decides to use Snapdragon chips, so there is nothing that can be done about the release timing. They used to release "Plus" chips in August, but that is no longer the case, so you cannot blame Apple for the current disparity.

I mean iOS isn't a demanding UI since it's basically just glorified app launcher.
I’m looking forward to seeing how the performance compares if Samsung ends up manufacturing these chips. Apple just demolished the s26u
You mean to say Apple's few-days old chip demolished a 1-year old chip.
Good to know.

Let me google something for you real quick.
As per gemini....
The primary competitor to Apple's flagship iPhone 18 Pro max is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, with which it shares a starting price of $1,299.
