New images of the A18 and A18 Pro chips in the iPhone 16 show that Apple is not using chip binning. Previously, it was thought the A18 might be a downgraded version of the A18 Pro. The images reveal that the A18 Pro has more transistors than the A18, indicating they are distinct designs. The A18 has one fewer GPU core, but both chips share features like Apple Intelligence support. This development confirms that Apple is producing separate chips rather than repackaging faulty ones. The findings highlight the differences in performance and capabilities between the two models.
