On the evening of December 21st, industry insiders broke the news that only one iPhone 14 series will use Apple’s A16 chip, which means that the iPhone 14 standard version will not be A16. @Mobile chip master explained that the reason for daring to make such a determination is that Apple’s stock of 4nm A16 chips in 2022 is only one-third of this year’s A15 chips. PS: The internal code name of A16 is Crete, and the internal code name of A15 is Ellis.
Judging from the news, it seems that next year’s iPhone 14 series will only use the A16 chip for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the iPhone 14 Pro may also miss the A16. In addition, the iPhone 14 series may adopt a hole-digging screen solution. It is reported that Apple has restricted the use of the hole-digging screen to the more expensive Pro series, and the two non-Pro version iPhone 14 series will continue to use Liu Haiping, with sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively.
It is worth noting that due to poor sales of the iPhone mini-series, it is reported that Apple will cancel the 5.4-inch mini-series in 2022.
