Yes, an understanding of anecdotes and averages.
I am just kidding. 
“People get no reception with them” whatever is that supposed to mean?Apple fans choose to ignore that very fact. I cant even use an Apple phone at my work if i wanted to, people get no reception with them, even on my S9 i only get 1 bar of 4G. But having bad reception is no big deal hey Apple fans
Yes, an understanding of anecdotes and averages.
Seriously though, your anecdote is a single data point. Ookla averaged millions of data points with millions of variable circumstances. 2.8 million unique users. 12.4 million tests. 520 million data points. Li'l bit of a difference there.
You asked, "What am i missing?" I joked an understanding of anecdote and averages. Seems I should have added context to the equation.
Figures ranging from 23% all the way up to 192% cannot be described as slightly faster, to use your words, they spanked.
How exactly does a single screenshot of a speed test from just an iPhone prove anything? There are far to many variables in play here. At the very least you need a speed test with a phone using the QC radio to compare to from the same location where you did the test. Even better go to an area with very bad reception and compare the 2Did they really?
I don’t seem to have a problem with my intel modem.
Do you have an iPhone with an intel modem!?

Well of course an iphone with the Intel radio will be able to achive a one off speed test above the average of the QC. Do you understand how averages work? There will be results faster and slower then that average. Anyway it's already proven the QC is the better radio, there is nothing to argue here, Apple are using software to gimp the iPhones with the QC radio to bring it in line with the Intel radios. Apple has a clearly superior CPU so you win some you lose some.It proves the intel modem can achieve speeds that are higher than the posted Qualcomm averages.
I’m in London, ee pretty much blanketed the city in lte-a, this is the bad reception area
Not just theoretical buddy, go and check out any of the comparison vids on you tube, the QC is actually 20 percent and in some cases even faster under the same network conditions. But i know it really hurts you to admit when Apple do anything worse then the competition so I'm not suprised with your response.It’s not one off and I’m not the only one getting these speeds.
Uh huh. Averages
Only thing was proven is that there is a thetorical difference of about 20% between the Qualcomm and intel chip. Real world usage is a whole other matter, which is dependent on the network.
?Did they really?

In the video I saw from unbox therapy, Samsung was faster than Google which was faster than Apple.No the article was quoting a blog post from Qualcomm using ooklas speed test as a metric to tout their superiority over intel chips. Not the same server or same time like your claiming.
My real world usage doesn’t match up with what Qualcomm is saying.
Intel modems are more than capable. Qualcomm’s just salty they lost Apple modem contract to intel.
