When Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series in early September, the company introduced the A18 Pro chip as "the fastest CPU in any smartphone." The A18 chip that powers the non-Pro iPhone 16 models has to be almost as fast.  But I knew going into the Glowtime event that I would not buy an iPhone 16 Pro this year.
