Developer Nicholas Alvarez found references to the iPhone 16 in Apple code.
There are five identifiers in total:
• iPhone17,1
• iPhone17,2
• iPhone17,3
• iPhone17,4
• iPhone17,5
They all start with the same number, which means that the same chip will be used in all cases.
For comparison, here are the iPhone 15 lineup identifiers:
• iPhone 15: iPhone 15.4
• iPhone 15 Plus: iPhone 15.5
• iPhone 15 Pro: iPhone 16.1
• iPhone 15 Pro Max: iPhone 16.2
The iPhone 15/15 Plus uses the A16 Bionic processor from the iPhone 14 Pro. The latter has the model number iPhone 15.2, while the iPhone 15.3 was used for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have the A17 Pro chip, hence the 16.x identifier.
Apple typically ties the identifier to the chip. All iPhones with the A16 processor have an identifier that starts with 15, and previous devices that had the A15 chip had an identifier that started with 14. The same goes for the 13,x identifier (A14) and the 12,x identifier (A13).
The iPhone 16 lineup is expected to have four smartphones. But there are five listed. One of the identifiers probably refers to the new iPhone SE.
