Kuo: Only the iPhone 14 Pro models will have the A16 chip, standard models to still use the A15

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, only the iPhone 14 Pro versions will have the "A16" CPU, while the normal iPhone 14 models will keep the A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13. According to Kuo, the A16 chip will be used in the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, while the A15 chip will be used in the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max.

The two cheaper iPhone models will keep the same processor as last year. This might be a big new point of contrast between the regular and Pro iPhone models. In the future, it's possible that Apple may only sell a new processor with the Pro models, before rolling it out to the two less expensive iPhone models the following year.

All four iPhone 14 models are expected to have 6GB of memory, with the standard iPhone models having LPDDR 4X memory and the iPhone 14 Pro versions having LPDDR 5 memory, according to Kuo.

Right Now, the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 have 4GB of RAM, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have 6GB. These specs are the same as they were in the iPhone 12 series. But the LPDDR 5 memory in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be up to 1.5 times quicker and 30 percent more power efficient. The analyst's allegation contrasts with a report from Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities, who said that the iPhone 14 Pro variants will have 8GB of RAM, the same as the Samsung Galaxy S22 models.
