New iPhone, really not smell?

New iPhone, really not smell?

The first is this fall's iPhone 14 models, only the iPhone 14 Pro and the 14 Pro Max will carry the new A16 Bionic chip. The non-pro iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max (name not yet determined, The iPhone 14 Plus can only use the A15 chip.

It's no secret that the iPhone 14 will see a number of upgrades, such as ditching the bangs for a perforated screen, but many are limited to the Pro model. If the chip is not replaced, Apple is a lonely upgrade?

In fact, Kuo has been reporting that non-Pro models won't be able to use the A16 chip for months The most important thing is this:

"In the future, only the advanced iPhone models will be equipped with the latest processors, so high stock ratios for the advanced iPhone models will become the norm, benefiting advanced camera component suppliers."

That said, the iPhone 14 special treatment is just the beginning, future iPhone 15, iPhone 16... It's always going to be that way. Before that, even the cheapest iPhone SE used the latest processor chips of the same period.

Clearly, Apple's main goal is to widen the gap between Pro and non-Pro models and get more users to opt for the pricier Pro version, which Apple can also leverage to highlight the advantages of the new iPhone. In addition, using the old chip can also better digest the inventory, save the material cost of new products, and improve the gross profit.

After all, the market is relentless, and as the smartphone market becomes more saturated, Apple will need to be more resourceful to keep growing and stay on the next wave of growth, like cars and the metaverse.
