What to expect from the new chipset on the upcoming iPhone 14 models
- Apple will announce the iPhone 14 product line on September 7, promising to bring noticeable screen upgrades with Always-on Display mode,
- higher resolution camera and next generation processor.
- However, one point to note is that the chipset will be different for the iPhone 14 (standard) and iPhone 14 Pro (premium) models.
- Instead of continuing to launch a mini variant like its predecessor, the iPhone 14 is highly anticipated when it launches four models with two different sizes.
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will have a screen size of 6.1 inches, while the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have a screen size of 6.7 inches.
- This launch also marks the first step in Apple’s application of a non-Pro version of the iPhone with a screen size of about 6.7 inches.
- But with what has been mentioned above, there will certainly be differences between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series
- And the difference in chips inside the models is not an exception
The change in chip upgrade for iPhone 14
- Apple will in turn upgrade the chip inside the iPhone each year when it launches a new phone line.
- For example, the iPhone 12 series will be equipped with the A14 chip, followed by the iPhone 13, which will use the A15 chip.
- However, iPhone 14 will not apply the chip change structure like previous years.
- According to Ming-Chi Kou, an Apple technology analyst, the chip of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will not be upgraded this year.
- That means that this iPhone line will continue to use the same A15 chip as the iPhone 13 series.
- However, for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, they will still upgrade a few details.
- These two models are expected by many people to use the new chip A16.
- With the use of different chip models for the four iPhone 14 models, Apple has given users one more reason why they should choose to buy high-priced iPhone 14 models.
- While we wait to directly test these machines, according to Apple’s TSMC announcement about the product process, the A16 chip will also be manufactured using the 5-nanometer process like the A15, A14 chip.
- Continuous use of a product size will also interfere with improving the quality of that product.
- However, it does not mean that we will not see any improvement from the company.
- From chip model A14 to A15, Apple has improved the performance of phone models by nearly 10%.
- It is not certain yet whether we will see similar fluctuations this year, but we do not expect consistent performance gains year over year.
- There is a conjecture before the iPhone 14 launch date that testing the A16 chip shows that the performance is only a few percent better than the A15 chip.
- But Apple then invested in perfecting the performance to help prevent the device from heating up when used too much, which made leaps and bounds beyond initial expectations.
- A lot of people are expecting Apple to continue to make a difference from the iPhone 14 to the iPhone 15. However, whether this happens or not, the answer still has to wait until 2023.
