The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro are the company's flagship models, delivering desktop-level performance thanks to the new A18 and A18 Pro chips. The new SoC (System on a Chip) is a significant advance over the previous A17 Pro chip, providing better computing and graphics performance as well as a far more capable Neural Engine for advanced machine learning

Apple says its A18 Pro chip is 15 percent faster than last year's A17 Pro, while being 20 percent more energy efficient. When the company announced the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, they compared the A18 chip to the two-year-old A16 Bionic chip, potentially suggesting that the performance improvements of the standard A18 chip aren't as impressive as the 'Pro' variant .

In terms of computing power, the A18 Pro chip has a 6-core CPU, and according to Apple's claims, it is now 15 percent faster than last year's A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15. This means, if the numbers are correct, it will offer significant improvements in performance, and if you're wondering about energy efficiency, the chip delivers better performance while consuming 20 percent less power. This means that the iPhone 16 Pro models will have much better battery life than the previous models.

The CPU in the A18 Pro has 2 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, which will balance power consumption while delivering the best performance. Compared to the A18 chip, the A18 Pro also has larger caches and next-generation ML accelerators, which will play a big role in the company's upcoming Apple Intelligence features. The new chip also enables faster USB 3 speeds, which is a bigger improvement than expected.

Apple's new iPhone 16 Pro models come with a number of premium features, and the A18 Pro chip will do the heavy lifting under the hood to make it all run smoothly. It's worth noting that the performance and efficiency claims come directly from Apple, and we don't know what tool they're using to derive these results. Therefore, we will wait a bit before sharing the benchmarks of the new A18 Pro chip and how it compares to the A17 Pro as well as the competition.
