iPhone 17 Pro: Big news has come out for Apple fans, and that too directly about the iPhone 17 Pro series. Although every year Apple launches its new iPhones in September, but this time there has been a stir in the market even before the launch. Leaks are coming out one after the other, sometimes about the design, sometimes about new models like iPhone 17 Air – which is believed to compete with Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. And now, a new leak has given a glimpse of the strong performance of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it is being said that its processor has surpassed Snapdragon 8 Elite.
iPhone 17 Pro’s Geekbench entry blew everyone’s mind
China’s famous tipster Digital Chat Station said in a post on Weibo that iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have been tested on Geekbench. These phones will feature Apple’s next chipset – the A19 Pro SoC – which is currently built on 3nm technology, but its speed and power are said to be far ahead of the current A18 Pro.
Now if the leak is to be believed, the iPhone 17 Pro has achieved a single core score of over 4,000 and a multi-core score above 10,000 on Geekbench. These figures are really surprising because Apple’s previous iPhone 16 Pro Max series gave a single core score of 3,203 and a multi-core score of 7,846 in our test. That is, you are going to get much better performance in the iPhone 17 Pro series – and that too without any lag or throttling.
Is the iPhone 17 Pro faster than the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC?
Now if you are wondering whether this phone will beat Android’s flagship as well, then the answer to this has also come out. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – which has the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset – also scored 3,054 in single core and 9,832 in multi-core in our tests. This means that Apple’s new chip is definitely slightly ahead of Snapdragon. The difference is not very big, but for Apple fans it is a big deal because it once again proves that Apple’s chip technology is still at the top.
Liquid Glass UI led to the need for a new SoC
Apple recently introduced a new interface for all its devices, called “Liquid Glass”. This interface is full of transparency and glass effects, which looks very cool but for this your phone’s processor also needs to be very powerful. In such a situation, Apple’s A19 Pro chip fits perfectly – not only supports the new design but is also fully ready for upcoming updates and high-end apps.
Why is the wait for the iPhone 17 Pro series special
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are not only coming with strong performance, but this time subtle changes are also expected in the design. Along with this, there may also be new camera features, more powerful battery and some new AI-based features. And yes, there is a lot of excitement about the iPhone 17 Air as it will compete with Samsung’s Edge model – that is, the competition is going to be tough.
So if you are also waiting for Apple’s next flagship, then get ready. The iPhone 17 Pro series is going to be pro not only in name but also in work – and perhaps it will become one of the most powerful smartphone series of 2025.
