    Why would that be an embarrassing thing though? Android users like the OS, not the chips they run on lol

      Yes, and my argument is that the lack of chipset diversity is holding the platform back. More recently, Google’s doing interesting stuff with Tensor and Mediatek apparently made some decent SoC’s. But Qualcomm still has way too much of the (US) market.

        MediaTek, Samsung, Nvidia and now Google make ARM chips. Android has tried x86. And has recently added support for RISC-V.

        Diversity is not the problem. Honestly there is no problem. Apple just makes damn good chips. 🤷
