Apple uses the new A16 Bionic chip on iPhone 14 Pro models only; Where is the anger?

Apple uses the new A16 Bionic chip on iPhone 14 Pro models only;  Where is the anger?

Most iPhone users probably don’t know which A-series chipset powers their devices, and they don’t care. How else can you account for the relative silence and lack of anger over Apple’s rumored plan to reuse the A15 Bionic chipset on non-Pro iPhone 14 units next year. This is the 5nm chip that is currently inside all iPhone 13 models whether Pro or non-Pro.

When it comes to Apple’s chip strategy for iPhone 14 non-Pro models, where’s the outrage?

In other words, those who won’t pay for the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models and would rather buy the cheaper iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus (or Max, whatever it’s called) will use the same chip used in all iPhone 13 models this year . In other words, consumers will buy a phone powered by the latest generation of chipsets and can pay more for it.

Would you pay the price of a new car for a car driven by a last-generation engine? of course not. And while the A15 Bionic is a great chip, that doesn’t mean you should have to pay a higher price for last year’s processing power.

Apple is really looking to differentiate between the non-Pro and Pro models this year. Along with the usual stuff like the better cameras in the Pro line (including a telephoto lens), and a ProMotion display with a 120Hz refresh rate, this year, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will appear “sideways,” I notch,” The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus (or Max) will have the controversial original notch.
according to MacworldThe A16 Bionic will have the advantage of being produced using TSMC’s third generation 5nm process node called N4P. Compared to the original 5nm process, known as N5, N4P will result in an 11% increase in performance and a 22% energy efficiency improvement in A16 Bionic compared to A14 Bionic manufactured using the N5 variant of TSMC’s 5nm process node.

Apple doesn’t typically go through three years in a row with the same process node, although it will do so with TSMC’s 5nm components. A14 Bionic is manufactured by TSMC using 1st generation 5nm node while A15 Bionic is manufactured using 2nd generation 5nm node. The A16 Bionic will be produced using the third generation of the new 5nm node.

While all iPhone 14 models can have 6GB of RAM, only Pro models will use the faster LPDDR5 version.

The lower the process node number, the more transistors can be placed inside a chip. This is important because the more transistors in the chip, the more powerful and energy efficient the chip will be. The use of faster LPDDR5 RAM compared to the LPDDR4 memory that non-Pro models will continue to use is also expected to boost the performance of the iPhone 14 Pro line. All phones will have 6GB of RAM.

And the iPhone 14 Pro series (and possibly non-Pro models) should see an upgrade to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 modem. It supports a higher theoretical peak speed of 10Gbps which no doubt won’t test on any iPhone 14 Pro model this year or next. You won’t find a cellular network that downloads data that fast, but the new modem chip is said to be better at securing signals and will use less battery power.

This year is a must see apple Unveiled the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max/Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple has removed the “mini” variant due to disappointing sales. Earlier this month, the guide told We anticipate the unveiling will take place on September 13th With pre-orders beginning September 16th with a possible release date September 23rd.
