We Won’t See the A17 Chip on the iPhone 16

Two years ago, Apple started using year-old chips on the base iPhone models to help the Pro models stand out. However, that might change with the iPhone 16 lineup.

Instead of using the A17 Pro chip that the iPhone 15 Pro models have, Apple might add an A18 Bionic chip to the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.

To make the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max stand out, Apple is said to feature the A18 Pro Chip, an even more powerful processor. These new chips might feature an extra GPU to make the performance on the Pro models really shine.
