iPhone 16 Models to Feature Cutting-Edge 3nm A18 Pro Chipset

According to analyst Jeff Pu, all four models of Apple's iPhone 16 series, set to release next year, will be powered by the same A18 Pro chipset manufactured by TSMC using its second-generation N3E 3nm process node. This marks a reversal from last year's iPhone 14 series, where different models had different chipsets. The A18 Pro will offer improved performance and power efficiency, with a higher transistor count, and is expected to benefit from TSMC's improved yield rate on 3nm production.

"Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 boasts impressive performance in Xiaomi device, outpacing Apple's A16 Bionic."

Qualcomm is reportedly considering a dual-sourcing strategy for its future high-end chipsets, starting with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for 2025. TSMC would build the regular version of the SoC using its enhanced N3E 3nm process node, while Samsung Foundry would produce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy, earmarked for the flagship Galaxy S25 line, using its 3nm process node. This could be a cost-cutting move for Qualcomm, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy chipsets could outperform the regular version due to Samsung's use of Gate All Around (GAA) for its 3nm production.
