Vratislav Holub In terms of performance, Apple phones are significantly ahead. The iPhone 13 (Pro), which will be powered by the expected Apple A15 Bionic chip, will probably not be an exception. Although so far there has only been debate about how this year's models will perform in terms of performance, fortunately we already have the first data available. The first performance test revealing the capabilities of a graphics processor appeared on the Internet.

The results of the benchmark test were shared on Twitter by a well-known and fairly accurate leaker with the nickname @FrontTron. According to this fresh information, the iPhone 13 should improve by almost 12% compared to last year's iPhone 14 generation (with the A15 Bionic chip). 15% alone may not seem like a revolutionary jump at first glance, but it is necessary to take into account that Apple phones are already at the top, which is why each shift has a relatively large weight. If the test is real and the data is so true, we can already assume that the iPhone 13 (Pro) will rank among the phones with the most powerful graphics chips today. There is still one more important piece of information. The performance test comes from the days of the first versions of iOS 15, when the operating system was not yet sufficiently optimized. It can therefore be assumed that after the release of the sharp version, thanks to the mentioned optimization, the performance will increase even more.
Benchmark test in more detail
Let's now look at the benchmark test itself in a little more detail. As we mentioned above, in terms of graphics performance, the Apple A15 Bionic chip should improve by almost 15%, namely it will be 13,7% faster compared to last year's A14 Bionic. During the Manhattan 3.1 benchmark test, which examines the performance of the graphics processor, the A15 chip was able to attack the 198 frames per second (FPS) mark in the first phase of testing. In any case, the second phase was not so groundbreaking, as the model was able to reach "only" 140 to 150 frames per second.
The given testing therefore already gives us an interesting insight into the capabilities of the Apple A15 Bionic chip. Although its capabilities decreased after the load, in this case after the first phase of testing, they still managed to exceed the previous competition by a class difference. For comparison, let's also show the results of the iPhone 12 with the A14 Bionic chip in the same Manhattan 3.1 test. Its average value in this case reaches approximately 170,7 frames per second.
When will we see the iPhone 13 (Pro)?
For a long time, it has been said that we will see the presentation of this year's iPhone 13 generation on the occasion of the traditional September keynote. After all, this was indirectly confirmed by Apple itself, which sent out invitations to the upcoming conference on Tuesday, September 7. It will again be in virtual form and will take place next week, specifically on Tuesday, September 14 at 19 p.m. local time. Alongside the new Apple phones, the 3rd generation AirPods and the Apple Watch Series 7 are also expected to be introduced.
