A19 vs. A19 Pro: iPhone 17 Chip Differences

[Taq'aix]

Yeah, though it’s a very mature product segment at this point so I’m not sure what else they could be doing.

I went from the 13PM to the 16PM and the only thing kinda noticeable was that the 16PM was a little lighter and had a slightly marginally better screen.

I’m kinda getting the usual FOMO about the 17PM but I know once I get it, it’ll just be the same iPhone running the same iOS with a bigger camera bump and weirder colors.

It kinda depends on your use case, I suppose. If you use the front camera a lot, then the 17 Pro is definitely worth it. The battery capacity improvement is insane (especially if you’re like me coming from a 14 Pro). I also love the Bluetooth 6.0 as I use my APP all day long. Also 12 GB of RAM. New cooling system.

But yeah, at the end of the day, it’s just another iPhone.

Keeping your regular iPhone in a glass of water at night next to your teeth will achieve the same result as the vapour chamber

Better put it in the fridge.

It's interesting that the 16 series didn't have something like this despite them saying it was built for Apple Intelligence.

It takes about 4 years to design a CPU, test and until in customers hands!

This article does a very poor job of actually highlighting the differences.

What is the difference between the A19 6/5 and the A19 Pro 6/5.

What I'd like to know is how the A19 Pro in the Air is any different than the base A19. Based on core count alone, they're identical. Meanwhile, the A19 Pro in the Pro phone picks up an extra GPU core.

Does Pro just mean more memory, then?

i'm guessing the A19 is just binned down variant of A19 Pro, but until teardowns actually compare chip sizes theres no way to know for sure
