Apple A20 Pro for iPhone 18 Pro: 18% faster, 30% more efficient on TSMC 2nm

Leaked details on the upcoming Apple A20 Pro chipset, expected to power the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, have surfaced online. According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital, the new platform will deliver an 18% boost in raw performance compared to the A19 Pro, while simultaneously improving energy efficiency by 30%. The SoC is set to be manufactured using TSMC's advanced 2nm process node.

The performance gain is solid, but the efficiency leap is particularly striking — it could translate into significantly longer battery life or allow Apple to slim down the device without sacrificing runtime. However, these figures remain unverified and will need to be confirmed through real-world benchmarks and official announcements.

Fixed Focus Digital has a mixed track record: the same source previously leaked details about the PC version of Huawei's HarmonyOS, shared images of the upcoming iPhone SE 4, and rendered images of the Huawei Pocket 2. The tipster also reported that Apple has halted development of its foldable iPhone. As with all early leaks, the A20 Pro specifications should be treated with caution until Apple officially unveils the iPhone 18 series, expected in the fall of 2026.
