The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max could have more differences between the less premium models, according to one analyst. Perhaps the most significant internal change arriving to the upcoming ‘Pro’ versions will be the inclusion of Apple’s latest and greatest A16 Bionic. As for the other versions, they might be left out.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are rumored to get the A15 Bionic, according to TF International Securities analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo’s prediction comes as a surprise because even in 2021, there were countless rumors claiming that Apple would use varying chipsets for the ‘Pro’ models, that thankfully for consumers, that decision never came to pass. Kuo has not chimed in on why Apple would only use the A16 Bionic solely for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, but it could be related to the ongoing chip shortage.
