Apple's future iPhone 14 series has recently been in the headlines, exposing facts about the company's next-generation smartphone portfolio.
There have recently been claims that the non-Pro iPhone 14 variants and the iPhone 14 Pro versions have radically different designs and features. Another report has now appeared online that is consistent with the other claims.
According to reports last week, the iPhone 14 and 14 Max will continue to be powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chipset, while the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max versions would be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Apple A16 Bionic SoC.
Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst, has now disclosed further information about the use of several CPUs. According to him, the difference in chips between non-Pro and Pro variants of the iPhone is most likely a marketing or financial choice.
Ming-Chi Kuo argues that TSMC chip supply is not a problem. This raises the possibility that the Cupertino-based technology behemoth is attempting to differentiate the non-Pro and Pro editions of the iPhone, or that it is attempting to keep costs down by employing older generation CPUs in the non-Pro devices.
According to reports, while all variants of the iPhone 14 series will feature 6GB of RAM, non-Pro models will have LPDDR4X RAM. The Pro versions, on the other hand, will contain LPDDR5 RAM, which will make a technical difference and affect the operational speed.
For those who are unaware, Apple is slated to release four iPhone models this year: the Apple iPhone 14, the 14 Max, the 14 Pro, and the 14 Pro Max. The 14 and 14 Pro will have 6.1-inch displays, while the 14 Max and 14 Pro Max will have 6.7-inch displays.
