2018 can be hailed as the year of AI, with companies continuously releasing applications of artificial intelligence. With the A12 Bionic chip on iPhone Xs Max and Xs, Apple has officially answered its rivals in this highly relevant domain.

So, what makes the A12 Bionic chip special? Let's find out in this article.
Introducing the A12 Bionic
The A12 chip is the latest processor integrated into iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and XR, delivering up to 15% faster processing, 50% faster graphics, and over 50% battery savings compared to the previous generation. It remains the fastest CPU available today.

Enter the Neural Engine
However, the standout feature of the A12 lies not in processing power, but in the integration of a highly upgraded artificial intelligence chip called the Neural Engine, designed by Apple with 8 processing cores and capable of handling 5000 trillion operations per second. With such formidable analytical capabilities, it enables iPhone Xs Max to effortlessly capture Smart HDR.

Smart HDR Shooting Mode and AI Image Processing
Smart HDR is a photo shooting mode that allows for sharper images, higher contrast, true-to-life colors, requiring minimal user interaction compared to other devices. You don't need extensive photography knowledge; just point and shoot, as AI handles everything, including subject recognition for optimal color reproduction. All thanks to the Neural Engine processing on A12 Bionic.
