Apple packed an older A16 chip on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models this year, while the top-of-the-range iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max debuted with an all-new A17 Pro chip. Now, early leaks indicate that the Cupertino-based tech giant will use an A18 processor in all iPhone 16 models. Early development versions of the iOS 18 operating system reportedly include references to four new iPhone models with an A18 chip.
As per a report by Macrumors, early development versions of the iOS 18 operating system contain references to four new iPhone models. These models, believed to be the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, are reportedly internally referenced as D47, D48, D93, and D94, respectively.
The codes from iOS 18 reportedly indicate that Apple will pack a new SoC – t8140 – Tahiti in the entire iPhone 16 range. This codename is said to be associated with the A18 chip. This corroborates earlier rumours.
