Incidentally, there's a rumor that the iPhone 14 is going to use a new A16 processor in the iPhone Pro, but stick to last year's A15 for the non-pro version.
That's a big change from Apple where they've historically put their newest processor in every single phone they launch (even the $430 iPhone SE announced last week has the A15 now).
I wonder if it's purely a cost cutting measure, or if they're not expecting good enough yields to supply them for every iPhone, or if they're holding some fab capacity back to have room for the higher end chips alongside the A16.
