Every year, the entire series of iPhones, whether high-end Pro models or basic models, are equipped with the latest A-series chips, enjoying the same performance and long-term update and maintenance, but Apple’s strategy may be different in the future.
Tianfeng Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s latest statement pointed out that Apple’s upcoming A16 chip this year will be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro series, and the basic iPhone 14 will continue the previous generation of the A15 chip, which means that performance and support have not been upgraded. The statement is consistent with the news of Bloomberg and “9to5mac”.
The outside world originally expected that Apple’s move was due to a global shortage of chips, but Ming-Chi Kuo said that from now on, Apple’s latest chips will only be provided to high-end models, and the entry-level and mid-range iPhones will no longer have the same level of specifications, and will be a long-term new product. strategy. He also expects that due to the exclusive use of the A16 chip, more consumers will switch to the iPhone 14 Pro, which is expected to account for 60% of the total.
The lack of support for the latest chips will affect the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro in addition to the performance difference, and some functions and iOS update years may be affected together. It means that consumers who want to experience the latest Apple technology in the future have to buy the Pro model upwards. The difference between the two models is no longer only in the screen, camera, etc., but more distinctions.
