In the latest demonstration video, when running a 27 billion parameter (27B) model, the iPhone 18 Pro achieves twice the speed of the iPhone 17 Pro. This means that the configuration of the dual 16 core neural network engine has a significant advantage in token generation speed, and also makes the local large model run more smoothly.

More noteworthy is that both iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are equipped with 12GB 96 bit LPDDR5X memory, which is significantly faster than iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

This upgrade, combined with a dual 16 core neural network engine, takes the performance of end-to-end AI to a whole new height. For users who need to run AI applications locally and perform multimodal processing, it also means faster response and lower waiting costs.

In terms of specifications, the A20 Pro is built on the latest 2nm process technology, with a 6-core CPU design that includes 2 super cores and 4 energy-efficient cores, and integrates a 7-core GPU.

In addition, the packaging method of A20 Pro draws inspiration from M-series chips, achieving new highs in performance and energy efficiency for iPhones. Combined with the new generation VC hot plate, its performance can be improved by up to 40% compared to the iPhone 17 Pro, and popular games can also be played for a long time.

Thanks to the advancement of the 2nm advanced manufacturing process, the battery life of the iPhone 18 Pro Max has skyrocketed, with video playback lasting up to 43 hours, an additional 6 hours compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, making it the iPhone with the longest battery life to date.

In terms of price, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have been launched, with starting prices of 9999 yuan and 10999 yuan respectively, an increase of 1000 yuan compared to the previous generation.
