The iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip will focus on AI capabilities in iPhone applications.
iPhone 16 series launch is still months away, but leaks and rumors are surfacing every other day. As anticipation grows for the iPhone 16 lineup of features, new details have emerged about the chipset that will power the next iteration Appleflagship devices. Leaks suggest that A18 Pro chipexpected to supply iPhone 16 Pro model, is ready to revolutionize artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities while retaining a powerful 6-core GPU.
Investment analyst Jeff Pu, known for his insights into Apple’s supply chain, has revealed some intriguing details about the A18 Pro chip. According to Pu’s research note with Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities, the A18 Pro chip will boast a larger die size to significantly improve AI performance. This expansion is expected to pave the way for revolutionary AI features in various iPhone functions and applications.
One of the most anticipated upgrades is generative artificial intelligence, and rumors suggest it iOS 18 will introduce innovative features across a range of Apple services and apps, including Siri, Apple Music, Health, Messages, Keynote and more. These features could potentially be developed in collaboration with Google, OpenAI and Baidu. What’s more, the iPhone 16 Pro models could exclusively have some of these advanced AI features, thanks to an upgraded Neural Engine with more cores.
Apple has always improved the performance of its Neural Engine with each iteration of the iPhone. Despite maintaining the 16-core Neural Engine since the iPhone 12 series, Apple has consistently improved its power. For example, A17 Pro chip in iPhone 15 Pro it has a 2x faster Neural Engine compared to the previous A16 Bionic chip. This sets the stage for even better performance with the A18 Pro chip.
While AI steals the limelight, the new chipset will also take care of graphics performance. With a 6-core GPU like its predecessor, the A17 Pro chip, the iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to deliver strong graphics performance. While some speculate that this iteration may offer modest improvements compared to previous leaps, the iPhone 15 Pro’s 6-core GPU has already shown a commendable 20% increase in speed and efficiency over its predecessor, along with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and network shading. for immersive gaming experiences.
The launch of the iPhone 16 series will take place in September, and we expect more information and details to be revealed every day. So, stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches.
