According to recent reports from TechRadar, there are indications that all versions of the iPhone 16 may come equipped with the A18 chip, rather than just the Pro line. However, it’s expected that the higher-quality OLED screens with M14 AMOLED technology will be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These details have been sourced from the publication CTEE and the website MacRumors, which analyzed the latest iOS code.
If these reports are accurate, it would signify a significant advancement in narrowing the gap between iPhone versions, providing a seamless experience and powerful AI processing capabilities to a wider range of users. It’s anticipated that Apple might still differentiate between versions by employing various A18 chip variants or performance adjustments. The iPhone 16 Pro is likely to feature the more powerful A18 Pro chip, whereas the standard A18 version or the improved A17 Pro may be utilized in the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.
Whether these speculations come to fruition or not, the iPhone 16 launch event scheduled for next September is expected to be particularly noteworthy for individuals interested in Apple’s AI capabilities but unwilling to invest in the Pro version.
