In March, famed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that the first two levels of the iPhone 14 (expected to be the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max) will have an A15 chip, while only iPhone 14 Pro models will be equipped with a new A16 Bionic. chipset. A new report from TrendForce corroborates with this information.
Apple’s iPhone 13 line
In the industry report of Trend strength It is mentioned that “unlike the previous offerings, only the latest processors are used in the Pro 14 series” of the iPhone 14. While the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 13 used the A15 chip, it did do with 4GB of RAM and one of four cores. GPUs while the iPhone 13 Pro models used the A15 chip with 6GB of RAM and a five-core GPU. It is believed that the 14 and 14 Max will use the latter set of chips with more RAM and GPU power.
The reason for this hardware decision is likely due to industry-wide supply chain shortages, so Apple could not provide the latest set of chips to its lower-end models. Apple would rather focus its supply chain on producing the more expensive Pro models.
Regardless of the reason, Apple’s A15 chip doesn’t sink with the current chipsets of the competition and having entry-level iPhones with the chip will certainly not be a deal breaker.
