- Apple will reportedly reserve the upcoming A16 chip for its Pro iPhone 14 models.
- The standard iPhone 14 variants are said to stick to the A15 processor found in the iPhone 13 series.
Apple generally uses a new chipset each year for its mainline iPhones, with 2020’s phones all using the A14 Bionic chip and last year’s iPhone 13 series all using the A15 Bionic processor. However, it looks like change could be on the horizon for the iPhone 14 family.
Veteran Apple tipster and TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted that only Apple’s two iPhone 14 Pro models will receive the brand-new A16 Bionic processor. Meanwhile, the two non-Pro variants are said to keep the A15 Bionic chipset seen on the iPhone 13 range. The analyst further claims that the Pro models will receive LPDDR5 RAM while the non-Pro models will receive the older LPDDR4X standard.
