Apple has made the iPhone 15 series official and now we've started seeing the first iPhone 16 leaks and rumors coming our way. We've recently heard about possible camera upgrades for the iPhone 16 Pro and the latest information concerns the chipset that will power the iPhone 16 series. The good news is that Apple may introduce a chipset for all models, just like in the past! Take a look at the details below.
iPhone 16 Pro Benchmark Leak – A18 Pro chip KILLS Androids
Popular analyst Jeff Pu (via Wccf Tech) has revealed that the next-generation A18 Bionic chipset will power all iPhone 16 models based on TSMC's 3nm process. This means that Apple will not have different chipsets for the non-Pro and Pro models, a strategy they started following with the iPhone 14 series.
Apple introduced the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus with the A15 Bionic chipset, which was introduced with the predecessor iPhone 13 series. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro models received the new A16 Bionic chipset. This was also followed for the iPhone 15 series; The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus got the A16 Bionic chipset, while the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max got the latest 3nm A17 Pro Bionic chipset.
As I said, there will be a difference. The regular iPhone 16 models may get the A18 chipset and the iPhone 16 Pro will have the Pro-branded A18 Bionic chipset. Both are said to be based on TSMC's second-generation N3E process for better performance, efficiency and battery management, as opposed to the N3B process. This is currently used for the A17 Pro chipset.
