Hey there, iPhone aficionados! Get ready for some exciting news about the iPhone 16 lineup coming your way in 2024. If you’ve been saving up for that Pro model just to get the latest and greatest chip, you might want to hold on to your wallets. According to a report by MacRumors, the iPhone 16 could feature the A18 chip across both its non-Pro and Pro models. That’s right – top-tier performance might just be coming to all models!
This juicy tidbit comes from sources who’ve had a sneak peek at early versions of iOS 18, codenamed Crystal. And guess what? iOS 18 is spilling some serious beans. It references iPhone models D47, D48, D93, and D94, which are speculated to be the iPhone 16 lineup, all powered by a chip identified as t8140 or, as we like to call it, the A18.
Now, hold your horses, because there’s a twist. We’re not entirely sure if the Pro models will boast an A18 Pro chip while the non-Pro ones stick with the A18. It’s all a bit hush-hush, but the rumor mill suggests Apple might be shaking things up with this new nomenclature.
But wait, there’s more! Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman hinted at a potential iPhone 16 Ultra – a device that could push the boundaries even further with better cameras, a faster chip, and maybe even a bigger display. However, iOS 18 seems to be keeping mum about any Ultra model.
And for those of you who love to stay connected, iOS 18 is also hinting at Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules made by Broadcom. Remember, Apple’s working on its own Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tech, but that’s looking like a 2025 story.
Now, let’s talk 5G. Apple’s been cooking up its own 5G modem to replace Qualcomm’s offering, but it seems like there have been a few speed bumps along the way. So, for the iPhone 16, it looks like Qualcomm’s still in the game.
So, what’s the bottom line? The iPhone 16 is shaping up to be a powerhouse, and you might not need to splurge on the Pro model to get the best chip in town. Keep your eyes peeled for more reports and rumors as we inch closer to the big reveal. And remember, whether you’re team Pro or non-Pro, the iPhone 16 is gearing up to be a tech lover’s dream come true!
