It has been repeatedly touted as the most radical upgrade of the iPhone 12 range, but new leaks indicate that Apple has decided on a shocking design with the core of its new iPhones.
Turning to the head, the iPhone 12 Pro has been the Max Spot On the popular benchmarking platform Untutu and it reveals some minor performance improvements in iPhone history. Moreover, while initial technical evaluations suggested that the range’s groundbreaking could be faster than the A14 chipset MB Kabuk Pro, the reasons for its deficiency are self-inflicted.
Breaking down the scores, we learned that the iPhone 12 Pro Max has only 16% faster CPU performance than last year’s iPhone 11 line-up while the graphics display is basically flat with a 4% speed bump. More positively, the speed of memory has increased by 22%, but the bigger picture is that this number was not expected from the world’s first five nanometer chip. As recently as last month, A14 CPU and GPU gains were suggested to be up to 40% and 50%, respectively.
what happened? In a word, battery life. Confused by all the logic this year, Apple Play has downgraded the iPhone 12 range of batteries, despite being the first iPhone to include 5G modems (notoriously hungry). The move also leaves Apple Pal with another popular but watery feature for this pay generation: a 120 Hz ‘Promotion’ display. And now it looks like the A14 chip has been optimized for efficiency to speed up the battery to cover the cost savings.
In defense of Apple’s moment, this frustration was signposted. While announcing the new iPad Air, the company officially unveiled the A14 chip and (choosing something) chose to compare its performance with the older A12 instead of the A13. These numbers could be extrapolated, however, the confirmation of the 2020 iPad Air will be only 17% and 8% in CPU and GPU than A13. These numbers vary in the margin of error of the untouched scores.
Again, the reason for the marginal benefit seems to be Apple’s reduced battery life of the new iPad Air by 8% compared to its predecessor. But while the iPhone 12’s battery is exactly 10% lower than the iPhone 11’s, it could be that Apple Play has outperformed their GPU performance.
As we already know Apple is also removing bundled chargers and earpods from the iPhone 12 range, sticking to the same big highs and rising prices, the level of expectation for newer models is surprisingly low. That said, their solid design looks good, the new screen size is sleek and their wireless charging will receive a mysterious magnetic upgrade.
That said, in my opinion, considering all these solutions, Smart Money is looking forward to Apple’s cheap iPhone 12 Pro launch early next year.
