Apple is still months away from officially launching its next-generation iPhone 14 series smartphones in the market but ahead of the announcement, there have been several leaks related to the upcoming devices.
In a new development, yet another report has claimed that only the iPhone 14 Pro series models will come powered by the new Apple A16 Bionic chipset. This time, it is being reported by TrendForce in its global smartphone market report.
This is in line with the previous reports which claimed that the Apple iPhone 14 series models will continue to be powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chipset which is powering the current-generation iPhone 13 series phones.
It is claimed that only the Apple iPhone 14 Pro models will pack the latest processor from the company, which is most likely to be called Apple A16 Bionic. While the iPhone 14 and 14 Max will have A15 SoC, they will pack 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM instead of 4GB RAM.
As of now, it’s not clear why Apple is deciding to have different types of processors for the devices in the same lineup, something that the company has not done so far. However, this time, the company is focused on making the Pro and non-Pro models significantly different.
The reason behind such development from the technology giant could be the global chip shortage. If the reports are to be believed, then the entire supply chain for the iPhone production has been impacted and it is being claimed that the production of the entry-level iPhone 14 has been delayed by three weeks or more.
