Apple iPhone 14 Pro: A16 Chip Coming to Pro Models Only; Kuo Predicts Chip Shortage, 4-Variant Release

Apple's iPhone 14 got rumors for its next release, and the renowned analyst known as Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the iPhone 14 Pro models would be the new ones to bring the updated chipset. The new processors for the iPhone will be the unconfirmed A16 Bionic chips, and despite the tradition of updating its lineup, it will only focus on two devices out of the four-variant release.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro: A16 Chips Coming to Pro Models Only, Says Kuo

A famous Apple analyst went online to bring sad news to all fans and enthusiasts of the upcoming device. Here, Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that only the iPhone 14 Pro models would have the new A16 Bionic chipset that the Cupertino giant aims to bring for the public to enjoy, particularly with the upcoming devices for possibly September to October 2022.

The new iPhone 14 lineup will also have a four-variant release, featuring two Pro models and two iPhone 14 releases. It includes the iPhone 14 with the 6.1-inch screen, iPhone 14 Max with 6.7 inches, the two devices with the A16 Bionic chips, the iPhone 14 Pro with 6.1 inches of screen, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 6.7 inches.

Apple iPhone 14: What to Expect on its 2022 Release

2022 is a massive year for Apple, and it is only the Peak Performance event for March's Spring season.

The world has not yet seen the WWDC showcase this June or July, along with another showcase come fall.

The iPhone 14 reportedly aims to bring 6 GB of memory on its next release, alongside the LPDDR 5 for the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, and a different version with the LPDDR 4X for the regular 14 and the 14 Max.

iPhone 14: Promising Features Now?

There are several reports of the iPhone 14 and its upcoming releases that analysts and leakers center on with industry leaks and speculations. One of which is the fewer storage options for the new device despite the many storage options for the iPhone 13 lineup that got a one terabyte option for those that need the space.

Despite the news above, the iPhone 14's release of a new chipset might not even bring their 3nm device that the company aims to deliver come the fall season of this year. There are still massive implications that the chip shortage brings, and that is a valid reason for Apple to cut back on its releases, despite one being the reusing of the A15 for the non-Pro models.

The iPhone 14 is shaping up to be the top device for 2022, and it does not stop on Apple's lineup only, as it extends to the entire smartphone slate of the year. The new device aims to bring Apple's latest features and functions, focusing on its multi-variant release to give customers an option, despite not having much for the A16 chipset.
