iPhone 14 Might Not Get The Chip Upgrade We Expected
The iPhone series generally upgrades every year with a new chipset, but the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max might retain the same one as their predecessor. There is not much to differentiate between the regular and Pro models of the iPhone in terms of performance, as the chipset remains the same across the lineup. However, Pro models are equipped with a larger ProMotion Display, a telephoto lens, and a LiDAR scanner, unlike the regular and mini variants of the iPhone.
Similar to last year, it is expected that there will be a total of four new iPhones in 2022. However, the 'mini' model is unlikely to make an appearance. Instead, the Pro models will consist of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and the 6.7-inch Pro Max, while the non-Pro lineup will consist of a 6.1-inch regular iPhone 14 and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max. Another expected change is in terms of the design, as the camera bump might be eliminated and the lenses flush with the back panel.

In addition, Apple might only offer a new chipset in the Pro and Pro Max this year. According to Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, the Pro models will be upgraded to the A16 Bionic chipset as expected. However, the iPhone 14 and 14 Max will be powered by the A15 Bionic, the same chipset that's in the iPhone 13 series. If correct, then it will be the first time that Apple will differentiate between its same-series models based on the processor. The A16 chip is expected to be based on a 4-nanometer TSMC process and, like every other chip, it will result in a boost to performance and power efficiency. Kuo also added that all four models will get 6GB of RAM. While the regular iPhone will use LPDDR4X, the higher-end models are said to be
