Right, just found the reference

anyway, F speed will change at about 1 or 2 kt per ton, maximum. The difference for that reason should never be 15 kt!
The OP question was about the diff btw F speed on APPR and GA pages...not F speed before and after APPR phase activation.

On the A330 (don't remember on the A320), check your F speeds in cruise for APPR and GA page, you will see around 15 knot difference. If I am not mistaken, that's what the OP is asking about.
