New images reveal distinct A18 and A18 Pro chips in iPhone 16 models

New photos reveal the A18 and A18 Pro chips used in the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro. This close-up look shows that the chips are distinct, contrary to earlier assumptions that they were variations of a single design. Previously, it was thought that Apple might use a single chip with some disabled features for the non-Pro model. However, the new images suggest that the A18 and A18 Pro are indeed separate chips with different capabilities. The A18 Pro offers advantages like USB3 support and enhanced display technology. These developments may indicate Apple's plans to use the A18 chip in future products, including the iPad mini 7 and iPhone SE 4.
