All absolutely mirages, but Tesla is probably a net positive for the environment. Fossil fuel emissions from cars produce a lot more greenhouse gasses than the electricity used to charge Teslas (even accounting for the fact that much of that electricity comes from fossil fuels as those plants burn it more efficiently and a good chunk is from green energy). Lithium mining sucks, but it is nowhere near as significant as automobile emissions.

Again, Elon is not doing anything he does for the noble goal of saving the planet. He says whatever he wants to market his businesses (or to feed his ego/beg for attention)

Lol. I'm just picturing this alternate reality where Fidelity, Robinhood, etc force you to pay a 30% commission to Apple if you use the iPhone app on any stock purchases.

Oh yeah I'm dumb M1/M2 naming is for laptops. But they do have superior phone processors too certainly with their A- series. Like the M1 for their laptops, the phone CPU line is based on technology Apple owns and developed in-house.

In terms of raw performance they tend to win by a lot too. From Tom's Hardware comparing the Qualcomm (in the latest Samsung) to the iPhone 14 pro maxipad, "On the graphics front, the iPhone 14 Pro Max notched 12,363 or 74 frames per second on the 3DMark Wild Life Unlimited benchmark. The Galaxy S22 Ultra had a score of 9,499 and 56.87 fps. 

On our video editing test, which involves transcoding a 4K video to 1080p in the Adobe Premiere Rush app, the iPhone 14 Pro Max averaged 30 seconds. The Galaxy S22 Ultra needed 47 seconds."

iPhones also tend to have the best battery lifetime on the market for comparably powerful devices. Idk if they have super duper low power modes like some Androids though.

I'm an Android user who doesn't touch iOS because of limited file access, weak breadth of available software, and limited customizability. Despite all of that, iPhones do have the best chip hardware on the phone market. That wasn't always the case, but with the M1 chip they do have a real hardware advantage in that area. More generally, if you don't care about specific software and want maximum snappiness and reliability in all situations, iPhones are probably better overall. If you need anything Android has to offer the difference in snappiness/reliability likely isn't enough to matter, but iPhones definitely have a niche/role to play.
