In recent years, Apple has separated the entry-level iPhone and the Pro series by installing different chips, and only reserved the latest technology and manufacturing processes for the Pro series. It is reported that this differential treatment will be reversed with the iPhone 16. Analysts claim that Apple’s next-generation models will use TSMC’s 3nm N3E process chips for the entire range.
Since the iPhone 14, Apple has used older chips from the previous generation Pro series in its entry-level models. For example, this year’s iPhone 15 and 15 Plus use the A16 chip from last year’s iPhone 14 Pro. Only the iPhone 15 Pro uses it. The latest technology of the A17 Pro chip has resulted in a certain gap in battery life and performance among the four models.
Foreign media “wccftech” quoted analyst Jeff Pu as saying that Apple will completely replace the next-generation iPhone 16 with A18 series chips, and will uniformly use TSMC’s N3E process. This is the second generation of 3nm technology, which can have better performance. yield and performance performance.
However, Jeff Pu also mentioned that Apple will still reserve the best performance for the Pro series. It is reported that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus use “A18 Bionic” chips, while the iPhone 16 Pro series uses “A18 Pro” chips.
