A lot of decisions go into making any smartphone. But it you want to pin down the most important choice Apple made when assembling its iPhone 16 lineup, look no further than the benchmarks for Apple's latest handsets — particularly the entry-level iPhone 16.
A quick glance at the performance section of our iPhone 16 review, shows Apple's phone racing far ahead of the competition in the Geekbench general performance benchmark.

(The Pro models feature an A18 Pro chipset that has an extra core in its GPU.)
