iPhone 15 Pro Uses A17 Pro as New Chip Brain: Suitable for Gamers

Jakarta – Apple officially launched the iPhone 15 series with its fastest new processor, the A17 Pro Bionic for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. 

Meanwhile, the new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus get an upgrade as the A16 Bionic drops from last year's iPhone 14 Pro models to mainstream phones. 

Fans mostly highlighted the device's new frame made of titanium instead of stainless steel or the type of charging port that is no longer lightning but USB type-C.

However, Apple's ambitions in the gaming world seem to be very interesting, especially for gamers who are often considering whether to buy an iPhone or an Android-based gaming phone. Since the launch of Apple Arcade in 2019, Apple has been caring about gamers.

However, this year Apple finally seems to be getting serious about improving its devices for gaming. Apple has also never claimed that its devices are for gaming, even though their performance is more than enough for that.

Apple confidently calls its devices the best mobile gaming platform in the world. In fact, they also showed a demo of the MOBA game which is now the world's eSports category.

"iPhone is the world's best mobile gaming platform, powered by high-powered performance from Apple Silicon. The Bionic A17 Pro takes this amazing platform even further, laying the foundation of mobile gaming into a new generation," Apple claimed during the launch of the iPhone 15 at the Apple Event through its official YouTube channel.

Getting into the most interesting part, the iPhone 15 Pro will be able to run PC and console games such as Division, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village, and Assasin's Creed. Pretty astonishing news for game lovers.

This is because of the Bionic A17 Pro chipset and ray tracing technology whose performance is boosted to four times faster than before.

Only available in the Pro series lineup, namely iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Bionic A17 Pro chipset is claimed to be the first 3 nm chip in the mobile industry.

Its CPU is claimed to be 10 percent faster than the previous generation, while its GPU performs 20 percent better.

Carrying six cores allows users to get better application performance and optimized power efficiency. 

"It's amazing to imagine these games running on a device that fits in your pocket," the company explained.

For price, the iPhone 15 Pro starts at US$999 or IDR 15.3 million which is available with four storage memory or ROM options; 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be available starting at US$1,199 or IDR 18.4 million and is available with three storage memory options;  256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
