The non-Pro iPhone 14 models will be powered by 2021’s A15 chipset, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. This might ruffle some feathers.
Unlike past years, the iPhone 14 might not be powered by the latest Apple chip. If the rumors are to be believed, Apple will keep the upcoming A16 chip limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, leaving the iPhone 14 and 14 Max with last year’s A15. And it may not be a one-off thing either. New reporting from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests Apple will continue this chip strategy for the iPhone 15 and beyond.
According to a CNBC report, conditions are so bad that the last time Apple faced an inflationary environment like this, “it had been a public company for less than a year and its bestselling product was the Apple II home computer.” It really puts things into perspective. All things considered, powering the starting variant in 2022’s iPhone lineup with last year’s chipset seems like the only logical step now. It may help Apple keep the $799 price tag, which would potentially make more people consider the iPhone 14 than if the prices were raised. Maintaining the $799 price tag could also help counter slowing smartphone sales globally.
With that in mind, it’s likely that iPhone 14 and 14 Max users won’t miss out on much even if the devices aren’t powered by the A16 chipset. And considering the typical Apple user upgrade cycle, which is two to three years, most users would be coming from the iPhone 11 powered by the A13 chip. The A15-powered iPhone 14 would still be a worthy upgrade over the iPhone 11 and older phones.
