The “average” SoC or the high end ones in flagships? Don’t be surprised at how much Qualcomm charges for their flagship stuff. Even if Qualcomm is a node behind, they also need their “margin” for making the thing. Apple pays a big design team, but they don’t pay the additional margin on the SoC… just whatever TSMC charges. Remember, Qualcomm has to pay TSMC too.

The average. We are talking about the entire smartphone market here. It makes no sense to compare only the most expensive android chips.
