Thanks to customer appeal for Apple Intelligence, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus could sell more than a hundred million unitsduring their first series of deliveries. This is revealed by new information straight from Taiwan, where the manufacturer TSMC would be responsible for designing the A18 chips engraved with a precision of three nanometers. For comparison, we assume, according to figures from last year, that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus only found takers among eighty to ninety million consumers during the samebatch. Of course, let us clarify once again that these figures are only estimates.
Apple Intelligence is the new suite of AI-powered features available on iOS 18, and currently only compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, among all powered mobiles. However, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max should also be announced as compatible, just like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This would be the obvious reason for this new level of production about to be reached by the founder. But he still fears finding himself in the spotlight because of geopolitical tensions between Taiwan and surrounding China. It is in fact on the island that the vast majority of TSMC premises are located.
What is the expected performance on iPhone 16?
The new 18 chip in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus should offer similar performance to the A17 Pro processorwhich today equips the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The volume of RAM could, however, sign an unprecedented update for the range, increasing from six to eight gigabytes. It is also assumed that the Neural Engine of the A18 Pro will benefit from a major improvement with no less than thirty-two cores under the hood, compared to sixteen with that of the A17 Pro chips. We find the same quantity on iPad Pro with the M4, or on MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro and M3 Max motherboards.
Today, the A17 Pro processor already offers us high-level power on iPhone 15 Pro. This, in particular thanks to the presence of six cores inside, some of which are particularly specialized in energy saving. The GPU, integrated into the same system, is also entitled to six cores, including oniPhone 15 Pro Max. This allows it to benefit from a recognized velocity during video game games, which most benchmarks actually measure. Some competing mobiles still come close to the performance of the iPhone 15 Pro, such as the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, also equipped with artificial intelligence features.
The iPhone 16s wouldn't be that different from the iPhone 15
Moreover, it seems that the technical sheet of the iPhone 16 is very similar to that of the iPhone 15. One of the main purchasing criteria for users, namely the size of the screen, should for example not evolve. We must therefore expect to count on a slab of6.1 inchesfor the “classic” iPhone 16 and on another of6.7 inchesfor iPhone 16 Plus. For comparison, it is now believed that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will benefit from wider diagonals than their predecessors.
The new iPhone 16,iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will certainly be released in September. Prices are unknown at the moment, but we do not believe in a particularly significant increase in their amount. However, changes are to be expected on the photo side, with the probable move to forty-eight megapixels of definition for the ultra-wide-angle of premium models. Against twelve to date.
- The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus could be produced at up to 100 million units
- This is more than the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
- Apple would like to sell more new models, because their predecessors are not compatible with Apple Intelligence
