Apple’s A20 Pro Chip Catapults iPhone 18 Pro Ahead of Android Competitors — At Least for Now

Within the latest iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models lies Apple’s newest high-performance chip — the A20 Pro. Similar to previous announcements regarding its silicon advancements, Apple has emphasized the enhanced artificial intelligence capabilities of the new processor. However, it also features noteworthy advancements for routine tasks. The company asserts that it “sets a new standard for mobile computing.”

This raises an intriguing question for Android performance advocates: Will the A20 Pro enable Apple to reclaim its status as the fastest smartphone? Furthermore, if it does, will it maintain that lead when next-generation chips from MediaTek and Qualcomm are released later this year?
