At the Apple koolade again?
Quote "Although CPU is important on a smartphone - my iPhone 6S Plus is faster than any desktop I’d purchased before this year"
You must have either been buying very slow desktops, or not bought one for several years.
The A9 chip in the iPhone 6S, is about equivalent to an Core 2 Duo E6700, which while it was the top of the line CPU in its day, that day was in the middle of 2006. So almost a decade ago.
