On August , 2025, Antutu published its monthly performance rankings for iOS devices, covering test data collected in China from July 1 to July 31, 2025.With the public beta of iOS 26 introducing a new “Liquid Glass” visual experience but no new hardware launches, overall scores shifted only slightly from June.

Additionally, we observed unusually high scores in some subtests for iOS/iPadOS devices in July, particularly for M4 and A18 Pro devices, which saw a 300,000-point increase compared to the previous month. After investigation, we determined that this was not a problem with our software.

Antutu’s ranking methodology ensures fairness and statistical validity:

• Scores reflect the monthly average of all valid runs for each model, not peak scores; day-to-day fluctuations of up to 100,000 points are normal even within the same model.

• Only models with at least 1,000 valid runs participate; absence from the list usually indicates insufficient sample size.

• For each listed model, the highest-performing configuration with sufficient data is shown.

Scores can vary based on device temperature, usage patterns, and system version.

1. iPad Pro 2024 (11-inch) – Average 2,769,252

   • Apple’s second-generation 3 nm M4 chip (9-core CPU: 3 performance + 6 efficiency cores; 10-core GPU; 16-core Neural Engine) paired with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.

   • 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR OLED display (2420×1668) with 1,000 nits peak brightness and 120 Hz ProMotion.

   • Enhanced cooling sustains peak M4 performance, delivering ~35% faster multitasking and 3D rendering compared to M2-based models.

2. iPad Pro 2024 (13-inch) – Average 2,737,261

   • Shares M4-chip configuration with the 11-inch model, upgraded to a 13-inch (2064×2752) display, six-speaker audio, and a larger cooling system.

   • Slight dip in average score still secures second place by a narrow margin, underscoring the chip’s consistent performance across form factors.

3. iPad Air 2025 (13-inch) – Average 2,262,674

   • Debuts the M3 chip (8-core CPU, 9-core GPU) with 8 GB RAM and a 13-inch Liquid Retina display (2668×2012).

   • Scores roughly 40% higher than M2-based predecessors.

   • Introduces Apple Intelligence AI acceleration, bringing “Pro-level” performance to productivity and light-creative workflows, starting at 256 GB storage.

Across the top ten, Apple’s M-series chips (M1–M4) dominate.

Notably, 13-inch models account for 40% of the list, and the score gap between the 13-inch iPad Pro 2024 and iPad Air 2025 has narrowed to just 474,587 points, indicating that larger screens no longer demand a significant performance premium.

The 11-inch iPad Air 2024 (M2-based) ranks eighth with an average of 1.82 million points, showing how Apple has effectively cascaded its chip technology into the mid-range lineu.
