Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is due to be made official in September, and ahead of that today we have yet another rumor claiming that all four devices will have high refresh rate screens. That said, don’t expect the vanilla iPhone 17’s panel to be on par with those of the Pros – what’s recently been rumored is that it won’t be variable refresh rate since it won’t get an LTPO OLED panel.
Aside from this, the leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has also presented us with the performance figures for the upcoming A19 Pro chip which will be powering the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It will allegedly get an over 4,000 single-core score and an over 10,000 multi-core score in Geekbench 6.
For reference, note that the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro Max scored 3,490 and 8,606 in our testing, respectively (and it had better performance than the iPhone 16 Pro). So, with that in mind, we’re looking at an improvement of 15% in single-core performance and 17% in multi-core performance.
The A19 Pro will be made on TSMC’s N3P process, expected to also be picked for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, which are both launching the same month as the A19 Pro, so the competition between these three will definitely be interesting to watch.
