Leaked internal code suggests iPhone 16 series to be powered by A18 chip

Apple has been using different chips for different classes of iPhones for the past few years. This might change this year with the iPhone 16 series smartphones. A leaked code from Apple’s backend, as reported by MacRumors, suggested the company is looking at using the same A18 chip across the iPhone 16 models.

The leaked code also hinted that Apple might launch five new phones at the September event instead of four, the fifth being the iPhone SE, with a design similar to iPhone 14, and to be launched in early 2025. These are internally identified as iPhone17,1, iPhone17,2, iPhone17,3, iPhone17,4, and iPhone17,5.
