Stuff Awards 2023: Premium Smartphone of the Year

There goes another incremental upgrade. Well, not really, if you go beyond the titanium frame and USB-C and get to dissect the new iPhones down to their elements to reveal the crucial tech and innovations. The A17 Bionic is a tech marvel with its 3nm process integration, and the new chip brings significant leaps in CPU and GPU performance. And the new Neural engine brings hardware-accelerated ray tracing and desktop-level gaming to an iPhone. And if that doesn’t make it the winner, the cameras will. The camera system with 24MP native resolution now sports a 5x telephoto lens and we have been thoroughly impressed with the smooth continuous zoom that most flagships with multiple lenses struggle to master.
