Internal Apple code suggests all four iPhone 16 models could use the same chip

But recent information might indicate something different than what Pu said, or it might not. Follow along. According to MacRumors, its sources have found information on early development versions of iOS 18 (with a code name of “Crystal”) that include the following codes for the 2024 iPhone models:

• D47 – ‌iPhone 16‌
• D48 – ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus
• D93 – iPhone 16 Pro
• D94 – ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max

The interesting part of this data reveals that all four phones have the same SoC with an internal code of t8140 – Tahiti, which is known inside Apple as the A18. So that means that all four iPhone 16 models could end up using the same general chipset.

As for next year, Haitong’s Pu might be correct since Apple could use the A18 branding for the SoC used to power the cheaper non-Pro variants and the A18 Pro name for the SoC found inside the more expensive premium models. The two different names would have to indicate that there is some difference between the A18 and A18 Pro. Since both are being built using TSMC’s cutting-edge N3E node, we should expect both to deliver performance and energy consumption improvements.
