Why you have not mentioned a19 pros sustained power limit are you sold to Apple?

May you can make A18 Pro lower than A19 Pro like CPU Performance - 88-90 Gaming Performance - 94-96 (Geekbench GPU results - 25-28k points) Battery Life - Correct not gonna lie

It is like. 40% increase in performance and 40% higher stained performance in benchmarks this doesn’t really show how much better it is and the a19 is more efficient so this is new so it probably has the wrong info.

Part of the sustained performance probably comes from the aluminum body providing better heat dissipation

There's neither a Major nor significant upgrade between these two chipset. Seems Apple has been 'Stale' lately

LGs but real September 23, 2025 at 03:35 AM
The upgrade is real, highest Sc performance on ANY chipset, 20-30% mc performance while consuming the same amount pf watts, 50% better gpu making it ARGUABLY the best gpu on a phone.

LGs but real, CPU improvements are very minor compared to A18 Pro. A17 Pro to A18 Pro did much more. This year is GPU upgrade/change, just like A17 Pro. Next year is new CPU architecture and than the GPU is taking a backseat. That's always the case. CPU -> GPU -> CPU -> GPU

A20 Pro with it's N2 it's moving finally from Everest/Sawtooth. I hope... 4 generations on same architecture it's bad.

The cpu performance on the a19 pro definitely deserves higher than a β€œ98”, the Gb6 scores are 3966 sc and 10465Mc on the iphone 18,1/a19 pro. The battery life score should be a β€œ97” or higher because it is a newer more efficient 3 nanometer process.
