Major Leak Reveals Chip Details of Upcoming iPad and iPhone Models
Mar. 2, 2024The leak was shared by a private account with a proven track record of sharing accurate information on Apple’s plans. First spotted by AppleInsider, the leaker has a small follower list and has protected posts. They did not mention the leaker’s name and directly took the text out of the post.
According to the discovered codes, the first column is the chip identifier and the third number is the internal codenames.
There are slim chances that we might see aHomePod with a display, which has been rumored for quite a long time.
The next set of codes includes thet8140 identifier, which is currently unknown. However, as per the report, it is presumablythe A18 chipsetthat’s expected to make a debut on the iPhone 16 series this year.
If we believe the report, Apple will launch all four iPhone 16 models, including the Pro models will get the same chipset. Well, it goes against what Apple has done with the last few releases.
To give clarity, the leaker who posted the information told MacRumors that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will boast an “Apple A18 Pro” chipset, even though the entire chip lineup has the same CPID. He further added that theiPhone 16 Pro modelswill get a fully functional chipset, whereas the vanilla models would feature binned versions with fewer CPU or performance cores.
As we mentioned above, the leaker has a notable accuracy record. Sometimes, they have accurately discovered the build numbers of betas, even days before the release. Still, as is the case with all the leaks we report, we suggest you take it with a grain of salt.
