iPhone 17 series packs Apple's A19, A19 Pro chips
Apple just launched the iPhone 17 lineup, powered by fresh A19 and A19 Pro chips.
The regular models get the A19, while Pro versions pack the beefier A19 Pro—both built on a cutting-edge 3nm process for better speed and efficiency.
Pro models get vapor chamber cooling system
The iPhone 17 Pro models use a vapor chamber cooling system (think: tiny water tech inside metal) to keep things running smoothly even during heavy gaming or multitasking—up to 40% better sustained performance.
The A19 Pro chip brings a 10-15% CPU boost over last year's version, plus faster clock speeds and bigger cache for smoother everyday use.
Every GPU core now has its own neural accelerator
Apple is leaning hard into AI this year: every GPU core now has its own Neural Accelerator, making AI tasks up to four times faster.
There's also a supercharged Neural Engine for MacBook-level smarts.
Apple aims to reclaim performance throne from Android rivals
With these upgrades, Apple wants to take back the crown from Android rivals like Qualcomm and MediaTek—especially when it comes to raw power and keeping things cool under pressure.
If you're an Apple fan or want top-tier performance, the iPhone 17 series is worth a look.
