Apple should allow you to select the processor clock speed when you purchase the phone, like choosing the CPU on the Mac customisation page.

This would allow people to decide if they wanted longer battery life or faster/hotter performance.
They could add £100 to the price per +0.2Ghz of clockspeed.
They should also offer a water cooling dock that works like Samsung Dex, meaning the phone could be actively cooled while running as a desktop macOS on a secondary display.

Thoughts?

This is Apple we are talking about. That would make the manufacturing process extremely slow if Apple allowed customization with internal specifications with iPhone orders of processors. Not to mention, how many iPhone users would actually customize the processors they want in an iPhone? Most iPhone users are not tech savvy and would they would really care about something like this?

I would guess that 95% of people do not know or care to know the clock speed of their phone's processor. And Apple, which has never emphasized numbers and specs for the iPhone (probably because on paper they sound much worse than the competition) is the last company that would do this.
