Are the iPhone 15 Pro Max faster now?

A new benchmark from Geekbench suggests thatiPhone 15 Pro Max are faster when updated to iOS 18. More precisely, Apple's high-end mobile thus obtains a score of 7,816 points with the new version of the operating system, compared to 6,249 points with iOS 17.5.1, still available in final version for many users . It is the process of processing information using artificial intelligence that was tested in this way.

iOS 18 is not yet available in final version, and we do not know its exact release date. However, the developer indicates that you will have to wait until the fall season to be eligible. But the Apple firm's history allows us to aim for September 2024 here, if Apple does not deviate from its habits.

Apple Intelligence, the key to success?

To achieve top-level performance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max can notably count on the presence of aNeural Engineunder the hood. This engine improves calculation speed thanks to a dedicated neural network. Previous iPhones have already been entitled to it, and we also find this component on Mac. But with iOS 18, the addition of Apple Intelligence to the operating system is an added benefit for users who want to save time.

This new suite of features powered by artificial intelligence makes it possible to transcribe voice memos into text form.Apple Intelligencealso offers the possibility of summarizing meetings recorded in this way, or even providing a report of your notifications using the Siri voice assistant. The only downside, and not the least important: only a few high-end smartphones are compatible at the moment!

Few mobiles compatible with Apple Intelligence

Indeed, Apple explains that only iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max equipped with the A17 Pro chip will be able to test Apple Intelligence this year. For now, the suite's options are only available in beta for developers. A public beta is planned next and should arrive around July, if everything goes as planned.

In the future,the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Maxor eventhe iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Maxcould also be compatible with Apple Intelligence.
