Synthetic benchmarks are not a good target for observing linear performance improvements.
In my experience, iPhones run reasonably fast on older versions of iOS, but will be artificially throttled as newer versions are released.
The PINE A64 is slow - it is similar to a Raspberry Pi 3 in real-life performance (both SBCs utilise four A53 Cortex processors at identical clock speeds.)
Don't expect the PinePhone to be as fast as a low-to-mid-end Android phone. It is usable, almost daily driver ready, but not as zippy... Yet.
This post appears negative, but frankly the benefits of the PinePhone outweigh any performance concerns: hardware killswitches, FLOSS software, etc.
Hope this helps
