The company is so confident in this regard that it has already ordered around 100 million A18 chips from TSMC. Apple is reportedly increasing its SoC order because… Last year, 80-90 million chips were ordered for the iPhone 15 version.
One of the reasons for this confidence in success is Apple Intelligence, a recently announced feature of iOS 18. Let us remind you that it requires at least an iPhone 15 Pro to work.
This means that users who purchase an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus will not be able to use this feature unless they upgrade to an iPhone 15 Pro or purchase an iPhone 16.
It is known that the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will receive the A18, which will be based on the iPhone 15 Pro’s A17 Pro design.
However, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with a new A18 Pro chip with an improved neural engine that provides better AI and machine learning performance.
The new iPhones are expected to be introduced in mid-September.
