The A18 chip in the iPhone 16 has made waves with its impressive Geekbench performance scores right after the phone’s launch.

However, its multi-core performance fell slightly behind the A17 Pro chip used in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
A18 Chip in the iPhone 16 Outperforms with 30% Faster Single-Core Performance
The A18 processor powering the iPhone 16 has surprised many with its multi-core performance lagging behind that of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, this is likely due to the Geekbench 6 software not yet fully reflecting the true potential of the iPhone 16.
As Apple claimed, the A18 chip is 30% faster than the A16 Bionic chip introduced earlier. This is not just a paper improvement — in daily use, you’ll notice faster app launches, smoother multitasking, and higher performance in graphics-heavy applications. Whether you’re gaming or editing videos, the speed difference will be noticeable.
In the tests, the iPhone 16, identified with the code name iPhone 17,3, drew applause with its 3114-point single-core performance. As with Apple’s previous chips, the A18 is designed with efficiency in mind. This means it reduces energy consumption for longer battery life, while still delivering powerful performance that will satisfy users.
In conclusion, the Geekbench 6 results for the iPhone 16 confirm that Apple’s newest flagship is a performance powerhouse. What are your thoughts on the new A18 chip in the iPhone 16? Which model of the iPhone 16 series would you buy? Share your views in the comments section below!
