    iPhone 13 Pro Max Why is the A15-chip faster than M1-chip?

    Yes, you heard right. I just bought the iPad Pro M1 8 GB RAM and 11 inch. I decided to test how faster the M1-chip was, compared to my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and therefore downloaded LumaFusion. And now it's become a little weird. Because the A15 chip is actually faster than the M1 chip. The...
