This year, Apple included an older A16 chip in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models, while the top-tier iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max launched with an all-new A17 Pro CPU.
According to early rumors, the Cupertino-based tech giant would use an A18 processor in all iPhone 16 versions. According to reports, early development versions of the iOS 18 operating system feature references to four new iPhone models equipped with an A18 chip.
According to a Macrumors report, early development versions of the iOS 18 operating system include references to four new iPhone models. These models, believed to be the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, are apparently codenamed D47, D48, D93, and D94 internally.
According to the iOS 18 code, Apple will include a new SoC – t8140 – Tahiti in the entire iPhone 16 lineup. The A18 chip is supposed to be related to this codename. This confirms previous rumors.
The non-Pro and Pro models of Apple’s latest iPhone 15 and 14 series had different chipsets. In 2023 and 2022, the company employed older-generation SoCs in its lower-priced iPhone models. The iPhone 15 uses an older A16 Bionic chip from the iPhone 14 Pro, whilst the iPhone 15 Pro models use a new A17 Pro chip with an additional GPU core and faster clock speed.
According to the claim, if all four iPhone 16 models use an A18 chip in 2024, it will not be the same one. Apple is supposed to differentiate between the semiconductors used in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models by calling them A18 and A18 Pro. Aside from the A18 chip, the operating system is said to make use of Broadcom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips.
