Every now and then Samsung, Xiaomi and other manufacturers release state-of-art smartphones that are marketed as iPhone killers. But the truth is that no one will kill the iPhone (maybe it’ll do it by itself), because those that buy iPhones get them for the whole combo of design/performance, not for the specs themselves.
There are already a lot of Android smartphones that beat any iPhone in terms of technical specifications, but it’s not going to matter for Apple enthusiasts. Users like to be consistent with their preferences, so once you go iPhone, you rarely go back.
