Early this morning, Apple held its product launch event, introducing many new products including phones, watches, and headphones. In terms of smartphones, Apple updated its A19 series chips, with the higher-end Pro and Air series featuring the more powerful A19 Pro.

The A19 Pro shows significant performance improvements. Compared to the previous generation A18 Pro, the core configuration remains largely unchanged, still featuring a 6-core CPU + 6-core GPU, while the A19 Pro in the iPhone Air has one less GPU core. However, the architectural changes seem substantial. According to Apple, its graphical performance has doubled compared to the previous generation, and more importantly, a neural accelerator structure has been added to the GPU, greatly enhancing AI performance! This generation of Apple seems to focus more on AI performance! But has everyone experienced Apple’s AI yet?

News 2: Apple’s Most Powerful Self-Developed 5G Baseband C1X Chip Launched: Speed is Twice that of C1, Power Consumption Reduced by 30%

On September 10, during the “Super Exciting Ahead” themed event held at 1 AM, Apple introduced theall-new C1X self-developed 5G baseband chip, which has a speed increase of 2 times and a power consumption reduction of 30%.

Do you remember the previous generation iPhone 16e? As the cheapest budget iPhone, it served as Apple’s entry point for AI, where Apple experimented with its first 5G baseband C1. Now, in the iPhone 17 series, the all-new C1X self-developed 5G baseband chip has finally appeared! According to Apple, the C1X is twice as fast as the C1 and has lower power consumption. In fact, the previous generation C1 chip was already quite usable, and the C1X should meet most application scenarios. However, users have some PTSD regarding iPhone basebands; during the iPhone X era, Apple’s use of Intel basebands left a lasting impression. Let’s hope the self-developed baseband doesn’t have issues.

News 3: Apple Releases First Self-Developed Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connection Chip Apple N1
