Apple’s A20 Pro chip will purportedly be up to 18% faster and up to 30% more power efficient than the A19

Apple’s A20 Pro chip will purportedly be up to 18% faster and up to 30% more power efficient than the A19.

The iPhone 18 Pro’s A20 Pro chip will be up to 18% faster and up to 30% more power efficient compared to the iPhone 17 Pro’s A19 Pro chip, the leaker known as “Fixed Digital Focus,” says in a Weibo post

This sounds great. On the down side, the leaker advises that Apple’s procurement costs for the chips will increase significantly. The A20 Pro chip will be the first iPhone chip manufactured with TSMC’s 2nm process, rather than the current 3nm process, he/she adds.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to debut next month, following in October by the first foldable iPhone. The first half of 2027 should see the arrival of the standard iPhone 18, the iPhone 18e, and a second generation iPhone Air.
