With Apple Iphone X, Have smartphones *Finally* Matched X360/PS3?

I feel like we've heard this tagline a number of times in the past 4-5 years. A new phone would come out and people would talk about how they're as powerful as consoles now, citing some spec comparisons. But in reality, they'd never really been that close when you really saw what they were capable of in terms of gaming.

But after seeing the recent Fortnite mobile release(and Digital Foundry's analysis), I feel we've finally got to a point where we can say, "Yes, that indeed is the quality/performance of an X360/PS3-era game". Obviously Fortnite is not a cross-gen game, so there's no X360/PS3 version to compare it to, but the iPhone X runs it at 1461x665(almost same pixel count as 1280x720) at 30fps with graphics reduced to a level that it approximates a decent X360/PS3-era title.

It's taken a while, but I think we can actually use this tagline and not have it be an exaggeration or merely a theoretical on-paper spec comparison that doesn't bear out in reality.
