But your contract with Verizon or whoever, minus monthly portion paid towards handset, is the same. Not only that, but iOS has a pretty decent install base of older handsets, a significant chunk of iOS's ~45% market share. So even if iOS users did represent higher revenue customers, it would be years and years before optimizing for new intel-derived 5g modems would impact more than a minority of users, while inconveniencing everyone else.

For a currently-possible comparison scenario, are there issues with providers optimizing their networks for qualcom to the detriment of Samsung?
