The same A15 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 13 Pro models might power the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max.
It’s possible that the iPhone 14’s basic and pro versions are receiving separate CPUs. According to a recent analysis, however, the disparities may not be as significant as they initially seem.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted over the weekend that Apple’s new mobile chipset will only be used in the iPhone 14 Pro versions. This year’s A15 Bionic chip is expected to power the regular iPhone 14, according to a report. For the first time, Apple’s upcoming iPhones will have CPUs from multiple manufacturers.
However, 9to5Mac’s follow-up storey provides further information. According to 9to5Mac, which cites unnamed sources, the iPhone 14 will be powered by the same A15 Bionic technology as the iPhone 13 Pro versions of this year. According to teardowns, the processor has 6GB of RAM, whereas the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have 4GB of RAM.
A15X is the name 9to5Mac has given the rumoured iPhone 14 Pro models’ A15 Bionic processor, which is a little upgrade above the A15 Bionic. Apple has made similar differences with iPad processors in the past, so this isn’t a new thing for the company.
9to5Mac’s iPhone 14 storey isn’t the only one to provide this information. According to previous iPhone 14 reports, the small would be phased out of Apple’s range and replaced with a 6.7-inch iPhone Pro. The elimination of the iPhone notch in favour of a pair of cutouts is confirmed by 9to5Mac, who adds that the iPhone 14 Pro variants are expected to feature bigger displays.
There has been speculation of Apple adding satellite connection to its phones ever since reports first arose shortly before the iPhone 13 debut last autumn. That talk has now been reignited. Using a satellite-equipped iPhone would allow emergency communications to be sent even when LTE and 6G connections are unavailable.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple is still working on satellite connection, despite the fact that the capability was not included in the iPhone 13. It’s not known whether this feature will be completed in time for the next iPhone 14, which is expected to be released in September.
There are rumours that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will include notable features including the elimination of the notch when they are released in the autumn. Apple’s iPhone SE (2022) launch is now behind us, so the iPhone 14 is likely to get a lot more attention in the months to come.
