These changes may happen in iPhone 14, Apple may rebrand the chip

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 14 series in or around September and now a new report suggests that for some of the upcoming models, the company will slightly modify the A15 chip. It is based on the 5 nm process and will be rebranded as A16. According to Gizmochina, the actual new chip could be labeled as the A16 Pro, which will likely be reserved for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max will get the A16 chip, while the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max will have the same A15 chip. Kuo believes that all models will have 6GB of memory, the Pro models will use LPDDR5 and the non-Pros will use LPDDR4X.

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro model will have both a hole punch and a pill-shaped cutout near the top of the display. The hole is believed to be for the Face ID dot projector, while the pill-shaped cutout will at least house the front camera as well as the Face ID infrared camera. The Pro models will come with major camera upgrades. Current Pro iPhones ship with a 12MP camera onboard. However, the iPhone 14 Pro model will have a 48 MP camera.

Apple has reportedly advised major US carriers to prepare for launching e-SIM-only smartphones by September this year. Apple may remove the physical SIM card slot starting with some iPhone 14 models instead of some iPhone 15 models as originally rumored.
