iPhone 14, iPhone 15 series use two processors at the same time, the Pro series is "superior", but in next year’s iPhone 16 series, this situation may change.
Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu learned from the supply chain that the A17 Pro is a transitional design, and the iPhone 16 series will be equipped with A18 processors as standard, and they are all manufactured by TSMC N3E process.
However, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus uses the standard version of A18, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max uses the more advanced A18 Pro, but the specific difference between the two is temporarily unknown.
If so, the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus upgrade will be a leap.
Apple A17 Pro is currently the only 3nm process chip, using TSMC’s first-generation N3B, while the next A18 uses N3E, which is TSMC’s second-generation 3nm, with lower cost and higher yield, but also lower performance.
Of course, iPhone 16 is still a year away, anything is possible.
However, Jeff Pu has repeatedly revealed new changes to the iPhone, such as the iPhone 15 Pro series will give up silent picks, the memory will be increased to 8GB, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will increase in price, and so on.
