Speaking of sports metaphors, Apple is the undisputed champ when it comes to phone processor performance. As the rest of the industry catches up with last year's A12 chip, here we have the A13, which adds more power.

The exact difference depends on what you're doing, and the phone will also feel faster because iOS 13 has a bunch of software optimisation to open and install apps faster.

In Geekbench 4, the difference is about 13% in single-core performance, and 22% in multi-core power. In Geekbench 5, it's about 20% in single-core, and 22% in single core.

Compared to the Samsung Note10, Apple's lead is clear: the 11 Pro leads the Note10 by 22% in single-core performance, and a brutal 50% in multi-core Geekbench 4 scores.

But then, it's not like the Samsung Note10 ever felt slow to us, nor have the last few iPhones. Apple dominance here is technical, not so much practical. That said, it's nice to know you have the headroom for things like recording multiple video streams from the cameras at once, or advanced editing. You may not do it, but if you ever wanted to, you could.

The other changes in the processor are bigger graphics power, a more powerful neural processor (which enables more advanced image processing, including Night mode and 'Deep Fusion', which is a new way of boosting image quality coming to these phones later in the year), and better power management.

Apple has increased battery physical capacity significantly in the 11 Pro models, and has introduced much smarter power use of the A13 processor.

The result is a major boost of battery life – Apple says four more hours for this 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro model compared to its predecessor, and five hours for the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I don't have the new Max to test at this time, but I've tested the regular 11 Pro to death, and the results are great.
