We've covered a number of reports about the Apple iPhone 14 series over the last few weeks. Now, a new report has disclosed some intriguing details about the next-generation A16 Bionic technology that will power the next-generation iPhones.
The Cupertino-based company had previously stated that the new A16 chip will be reserved for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, with the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max running on a revised version of last year's A15 Bionic chipset. Furthermore, the new A16 Bionic was previously thought to be based on TSMC's new 4nm process node, but this may not be the case this year, according to tipster @ShrimpApplePro.
In a tweet, the tipster said that a reliable source has shared that the A16 Bionic will still be based on the 5nm process, or the TSMC N5P. Although, he also added that this is unlikely and to take this news with a pinch of salt. But, his reliable source does state that the A16 Bionic could based on the TSMCFF5, which might also be a refreshed process node.
The new A16 Bionic chip will also include support for LPDDR5 RAM, as well as a new and upgraded CPU and GPU, according to the tweet. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, on the other hand, are expected to use the A16 Bionic chipset, which is based on a 5nm process, while the Pro models will use the more powerful A16 Pro chipset. Keep in mind that this is all merely supposition, so take it with a grain of salt and stay tuned for more information.
