AFAIK UFS 3.1 is more efficient, faster and cheaper but Apple is vertically integrated and designs its own chips, this shifts the incentives.
As try said it's not really the best option, my hunch is M1 was already in the pipeline and sharing the storage subsystem with the laptop chips made more sense overall.
HOLY SHIT is that fast. newer models are even faster from Apple.
Do not forget : fast nvme NAND ram eats up battery and creates heat if you use it a lot. Apple probably has a 2nd flashram layer of colder slower storage used when a phone feels idle or feels like its not being benchmarked. The 2nd flashram layer of colder slower storage might help triple the battery life, but still allow benchmarks and games to let apple dominate.
Others may copy apple design in future though. Others may do this speed trick.
Apple is a $2.35 Trillion dollar market cap company:
I showed you storage benchmarks for the S20, prove me wrong with concrete numbers or keep kvetching about muh CPU "scores" which can be spun a hundred different ways, or find some other stupid special editions instead of best-selling models to compare.

Thats the biggest public company on earth or in history.
When you are $2.35 Trillion dollar market cap company you typically can design anything you want to design.

Notice that the charts I show, show UFS storage 25% as fast for writes as apple deices in that chart.
Samsung Galaxy S6 is a genuine real UFS device, and though fast, is only a pathetic 41 speed vs apple getting 163
163 is 3.97 times faster... 400% faster !!! 4 times faster for Apple iphone6s than UFS Samsung Galaxy S6.
UFS is 4 times slower for writes than apples offerings in some years.

ctrl + f for "Sequential Read", iPhone 12 is basically the same.

Apple always releases the fastest phones. And UFS is not faster than apple's designs.
The cpu speed of a way more expensive samsung S20 Utra is 70% cpu speed of a Appple iPhone Pro Max :
https://www.ubergizmo.com/products/lang/en_us/devices/galaxy-s20-ultra,iphone-12-pro-max/
Yes, look the geek bench charts in that link, the far more expensive samsung S20 Utra is about 70% the computations speed in single core mode.
some math alrgorithms cannot ever be made parallel and need only one core

Stop moving goalposts, no one is arguing about CPU perf

And you can't show tests from an iPhone exceeding an UFS 3.0 phone while UFS 3.1 devices are pushing 1.6 / 1.1 GB.
