While Apple continues to update iOS 17, it has also started working on iOS 18. The operating system, developed under the code name Crystal, has already revealed four iPhone models that have not yet been released.
As in previous years, Apple’s next year It is expected to launch 4 iPhone models These codes do not present any surprises in this regard. However, when we look at the processor side, the situation changes.
The processor difference between variants disappears in iPhone 16
Referenced in codes four different models It is located. These models are listed in the codes as follows:
- D47 – iPhone 16
- D48 – iPhone 16 Plus
- D93 – iPhone Pro
- D94 – iPhone 16 Pro Max
The most important point is that the same chip will be used in the entire iPhone 16 series. t8140 – Tahiti This chip called – which we will call A18 – is shown to be used in all four iPhone models revealed in the codes.
In other words, Apple, which uses a generation old processor in standard models in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series, at least according to the early stage codes of iOS 18. The iPhone 16 will use the same processor as the Pro models. However, this good news may also offer a hint of bad news.
iPhone 15 has A16 processor and iPhone 15 Pro has A17 processor. If Apple uses the A18 processor directly in the iPhone 16, the standard models will have two generations of processors in one year. This situation will probably be reflected in the costs of the devices and standard models We may encounter a price increase.
