The new chip will be exclusive to Pro models
The great Ming-Chi Kuo revealed at the beginning of the year in a report that Apple’s plans with the iPhone 14 could be, at least risky since it seems that there was a possibility that base iPhone models won’t upgrade to the latest Apple chip, a movement that both the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will carry out with total security. Therefore, the A16 chip will not be inside either the iPhone 14 or the iPhone 14 Max.
For all those who are wondering what will be the chip mounted on these two devices, according to Kuo, Apple’s plans are to introduce the chip A15that is, the same one that the iPhone 13 currently has. However, it will not be exactly the same since the version that Apple seems to plan to introduce in these iPhones is a more powerful one with 6 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB .
It seems that the idea that the Cupertino company has is to start considerably differentiate the normal range from the Pro rangenot as is the case with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, since the vast majority of news that has been rumored for the new iPhone models will be almost exclusive to the Pro models. The goal is clearly increase sales of top-of-the-range models and also more expensive, making profits increase as well.
Will this affect the performance of the iPhone 14?
Obviously, this movement by Apple is the least objectionable, since at the marketing level, selling a new device with an old chip may not be the best move in history. However, the question we have to ask is whether the fact that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max do not have the A16 chip is really going to cause their performance or, above all, the user experience they will provide to be less than the usual
The reality is that Apple always works very well with all its devices and, above all, makes the system performance, fluidity and, ultimately, the user experience that buyers of its products have with them, as satisfactory as possible. For this reason, beyond the fact that this movement by the Cupertino company obviously sounds very bad, It will be necessary to see and really verify how it finally affects their performance. In addition, we also have to wait for this to really end up being the case, since at the moment they are nothing more than rumors that circulate around these upcoming releases, although it is already known that, when the river sounds, water carries.
