"Leaked Code Reveals iPhone 16 Models with A18 Chip, Promising Power and New Features"
Leaked code in iOS 18 suggests that all iPhone 16 models launching next year will feature Apple's latest A18 chipset, with a new moniker possibly attached to differentiate between the 'Pro' and non-Pro versions. The code also reveals that there will be no 'Ultra' variant in the iPhone 16 lineup. The A18 SoC is expected to be a re-branded version of the A17 Pro, with two variants for the 'Pro' and non-Pro models. Apple may switch to TSMC's 'N3E' node for manufacturing, which offers higher yields and a more affordable price-per-wafer. Further details on CPU and GPU core count are not yet available.
