In brief: The iPhone 16 series is finally here, and with it comes two new powerhouse chipsets – the A18 and the A18 Pro, which Apple claims bring generational leaps in performance and efficiency. The non-Pro variant is particularly interesting since the improvements are significant over the non-Pro iPhone 15 models.
Let’s dive into the A18 Pro first – the chip that powers the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models. Built on a 3nm process, it packs a 6-core CPU setup with two performance cores and four efficiency ones. It promises a 15% performance uplift over last year’s A17 Pro while simultaneously reducing power consumption by 20%.
Meanwhile, the GPU is 20% faster than the predecessor with 2x speedier ray-tracing, thanks to its desktop-class architecture.
