The iPhone 16 series is likely to stay with a 3 nm chipset, albeit with significant changes for AI capabilities.
The next two generations of the iPhone will likely shape the premium smartphone market. This is because the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 have exciting tech innovations that many are waiting for.
Let’s start with the iPhone 17. A report suggests that the device is the first candidate to debut with the much-awaited 2-nanometer processor by TSMC. We’re in the 3 nm process era, which currently includes the Apple A17 Pro for the iPhone 15 Pro line.
That said, the iPhone 16 is likely to feature a 3 nm processor this year while Apple and TSMC continue working on the more advanced chipset. However, we can expect upgrades and tweaks considering the booming AI technology on mobile devices.
Meanwhile, a new report claims that three major electronics firms are chosen to work on the display panel of the iPhone 16 lineup. These are Samsung, LG, and BOE, all capable of producing LCD, OLED, and flexible screens.
But their respective mass production capabilities likely determine which iPhone 16 they will work on. The report suggests that Samsung will produce OLED screens for all iPhone 16 models.
LG, on the other hand, will only produce the LTPO panels for the expensive Pro version. BOE will be developing the LTPS displays for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. Though, the screen producer for the Pro Max is yet to be determined between these firms.
But if you’re to decide, which firm do you want to create the screen for the iPhone 16 Pro Max?
