The three new iPhones all perform more or less on the same level, according to early benchmarks.
For its 2019 lineup, Apple has equipped the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max with the same A13 Bionic chip. Now tests from Primate Labs, developer of the well-known benchmarking tool Geekbench, reveal that the similarities between the devices don't end with the processor.
iPhone 11 Benchmarks
As reported by AppleInsider, the Geekbench 4 tool unearthed a couple of key details regarding the new iPhones. The entries are dubbed "iPhone12,1," "iPhone12,3," and "iPhone12,5," and going by the test results, they're packing six-core A13 Bionic chips clocked at 2.66 GHz. In addition, all three of them house 4 GB of RAM across the board, which is something that the Cupertino brand tends to keep under wraps.
For the record, "iPhone12,1," "iPhone12,3," and "iPhone12,5" are believed to be the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, respectively.
As for the scores, the iPhone 11 is rated at a single-core score of 5,462 and a multi-core score of 13,877, the iPhone 11 Pro at a single-core score of 5,467 and a multi-core score of 13,979, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max at a single-core score of 5,422 and a multi-core score of 13,054. Those numbers are for the latest results dated Sept. 14 for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro and Sept. 16 for the iPhone Pro Max.
To boil things down, there's no distinction between the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max when it comes to processor and RAM.
Some Perspective
Before Apple officially unveiled the trio, reports said that Pro variant would sport 6 GB of RAM, but that doesn't seem to be the case. This year's iPhones are different from previous releases because they all come with the same amount of RAM.
For instance, even though all three have an A12 Bionic chip, the iPhone XR has only 3 GB of RAM, while the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max both have 4 GB of RAM.
Considering that the iPhone 11 is coming with plenty of features that require sufficient processing power, it's not that surprising to see that it's housing pretty much the same hardware as its higher-end siblings, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
