Most of the performance of which is irrelevent, because the apps have to run on the lowest common denominator iPhone.
This is not like Desktop PCs where a game might run at less than 60fps at a certain monitor resolution, iPhone software is more like the console market, so it's like saying you have a new PS4 model with 2x the speed of last years model. You're not likely going to notice the difference except at the edges, like launching apps are slightly faster.
Apple's fan base, prior to the A6, used to be 'specs don't mstter', but once Apple got the lead in CPU speed, now specs matter. I think for most people the former is probably true.
A faster phone doesn't make your Facebook, Snapchat, iMessage, Instagram, etc experience much better and lets be honest, people are spending the majority of time in those apps.
Performance isn't the only area where apple chips are superior.
Power efficiency is another, and that's a lot more noticeable to your general consumer.
