Apple revealed iOS 18 at the WWDC 2024 earlier this month, promising plenty of AI-infused features. The beta OS is already seeding to developers, and one of them decided to benchmark the CoreML engine, which is used for machine learning.
According to user @lafaiel on X, the machine learning score improved by 25% after an update to iOS 18.
The phone used was an iPhone 15 Pro Max that scored 6,249 in the Geekbench ML Score on iOS 17.5.1 and increased to 7,816 once the phone was updated to iOS 18. While the raw numbers do suggest a 25% increase, real-life improvements are not that easily quantifiable, though.
Nevertheless, these results clearly show improvement in machine learning, one of the tools needed to achieve the artificial intelligence that so many users and companies desire in their phones. The iPhone 16 series should arrive in September, alongside the stable iOS 18 for older iPhones.
