Apple expects to sell 90-100 million iPhone 16 units. Both regular and Pro models to feature A18 chips. A18 Pro chip offers 15-20% performance boost. Apple Intelligence feature expected in all iPhone 16 models. Looks like Apple's betting big on the iPhone 16. A report has claimed that they're ramping up chip orders, and they're expecting to sell a whopping 90 to 100 million units of the lineup. That's a pretty big jump from the 80 to 90 million they had initially planned for the iPhone 15 lineup. So what gives? A18 for Everyone? Not Quite Apple A18 chipset will be present across the iPhone 16 lineup. Here's where things get interesting. Rumor has it that both the regular iPhone 16 and the Pro models will be rocking A18 chips. But don't get too excited just yet - it's not as simple as it sounds. The regular iPhone 16 might get an A18 chip that's basically a souped-up version of the A17 Pro. It'll be made using a fancy new process at TSMC, their chip-making partner. The Pro models, on the other hand, are said to be getting an A18 Pro chip that's 15-20% beefier, with more oomph for graphics and AI stuff. So, Apple's still kind of sticking to their usual playbook of giving the Pro models the latest and greatest, while the regular iPhones get hand-me-downs. They're just calling everything A18 this time around. You will get the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro devices in this year's lineup. There’s speculation that the upcoming chipsets will have a larger die size to accommodate a more powerful Neural Engine, enhancing AI capabilities. However, today's report highlights a potential drawback: the GPU on the A18 and A18 Pro might retain the same six-core configuration as the A17 Pro chipset. Apple Intelligence: The Game Changer? Remember that cool Apple Intelligence feature they showed off at WWDC? That might be why Apple's feeling so confident about iPhone 16 sales. Apple integrates ChatGPT into iOS 18, enhancing Siri and new writing tools Right now, only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max can handle Apple Intelligence. But with these new A18 chips, all the iPhone 16 models should be able to run it. This probably means the regular iPhone 16 models will get a memory boost too. They'll need at least 8GB of RAM to run Apple Intelligence, up from the 6GB in the current non-Pro models. What's in It for Apple (and TSMC)? If these predictions pan out, it's good news for both Apple and TSMC. Apple gets to sell a ton of iPhones with fancy new features, and TSMC gets a big order for their latest chip-making tech. 100 million iPhone 16 series phones is no joke. Apple and TSMC have a longstanding partnership for making chipsets. All this chip talk isn't just about bragging rights. It's about Apple trying to stay ahead in the AI game while keeping their product lineup clear. By giving all iPhone 16 models some form of A18 chip, they're setting the stage for more AI features across the board. Of course, this is all based on rumors and reports. We won't know for sure until Apple spills the beans officially. But if it's true, it looks like the iPhone 16 lineup could be a pretty big deal when it hits shelves later this year. FAQs What are the expected sales figures for the iPhone 16 series? Apple anticipates selling between 90 and 100 million units of the iPhone 16 lineup.
