The Apple A18 is a 6-core chip with a 5-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine, used in the iPhone 16. Two dated Geekbench Browser submissions show how its scores look in different benchmark versions: 3,405 single-core and 8,507 multi-core in Geekbench 6.7.0, and 2,883 single-core and 7,852 multi-core in Geekbench 7.1.0. Because the versions differ and each figure comes from one submission, treat them as examples—not directly comparable scores or guaranteed results.

Do not compare the Geekbench 6 numbers directly with the Geekbench 7 numbers. The benchmark versions differ, so each score belongs in its own version’s comparison set. For a useful comparison, match the Geekbench version and check the result’s device and software context.

Neither record establishes an average or the score a particular owner will get. They are submitted results, not results from a documented, controlled test. The figures therefore illustrate reported performance rather than prove how the A18 will perform in every workload.
