The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max will get an upgraded chipset and not only that, the Pro models will continue to be preferred over their plain vanilla models in the future as well. Basically, this means that while the iPhone 15 and iPhone to follow in subsequent years, will receive a new chip and other technological upgrades, the cheaper, non-Pro models will receive older chips. While we have already heard that the pro-models of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 line up will come with an upgraded chipset, popular analyst and Apple oracle Ming-Chi Kuo has once again backed the same. He shared that only the iPhone 14 Pro model will get the upgraded chipset, while the standard iPhone 14 model will come with the existing A15 Bionic chip. But interestingly, Kuo claims that Apple has increased the shipment ratio of the Pro model to 60%. Which used to be 40% earlier.
Kuo wrote in Medium, “The latest A16 processors will be exclusive to the two iPhone 14 Pro/high-end models, significantly increasing the shipment ratio of the new iPhone high-end models from 2H22 to 55-60% (versus 40-50%).” will increase from the previous).”
This means that Apple plans to sell more premium iPhone 14 models than the standard ones, despite the higher price tag. The tech giant is expected to put more effort into manufacturing and marketing the iPhone 14 Pro, with non-pro models becoming a secondary promotional priority.
Considering the fact that the iPhone 14 is expected to retain most of the design of the iPhone 13 along with the same A15 chipset, it won’t be that exciting. However, the iPhone 14 Max, the new model that is speculated to replace the iPhone mini version, is also grabbing headlines. The new variant is expected to offer a bigger display – 6.7-inch and that too under $1,000.
Apart from the upgraded chipset, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are also expected to feature an updated display with punch-hole and pill-shaped Face ID and selfie camera cutouts, a new 48MP main camera and always-on display. ,
