Is the iPhone 17 worth an upgrade?

Manila Bulletin

|

September 15, 2025

Apple spent their “awe dropping” event gaslighting the audience that the newest iPhone 17 is “incredible” and with whatever other superlative they could throw at the audience.

- By JONATHAN CASTILLO

Before you start bashing your keyboards and screens about how wrong I am, let me just say, I am an iPhone user myself. So, we chill?

We’re not going to deny iPhones are great phones. After all, coming from Apple’s own data, the A19 chip in the iPhone 17 is 20% better than the A18 chip from the iPhone 16. A 20% performance increase does sound incredible. Interestingly, Apple did not give any numbers on how much better the A19 Pro chips are compared to the regular A19 or even from last year’s A18 chip.

In Apple’s own website though, you can compare the A19 Pro chip with other models. The latest one available is the iPhone 15 Pro and the A19 Pro is said to be up to 20% faster when it comes to the 6-core CPU and up to 30% faster 5-core GPU.
