Apple ‘secretly’ put a less powerful A18 chip inside the iPhone 16e: Details

Apple secretly put a less powerful A18 chip inside the iPhone 16e, the most affordable member of the iPhone 16 family. Cupertino is using a binned version of the processor with one less GPU core. This is relative to the A18 inside the iPhone 16. Not that it makes a lot of difference, but surely in edge cases—and while running benchmarks—you’ll see a difference, how big or small, we’ll see once Apple starts seeding the device for review purposes.
