Apple A18 Bionic Chip, Dual 48MP Cameras Tipped for 2024 iPhone 16 Series. Apple’s 2024 iPhone lineup, likely to be called the iPhone 16 series, has started making appearances in leaks lately. The latest one reveals key details about the iPhone 16’s processor and rear camera setup.
As per a post on Chinese microblogging website Weibo, renowned tipster Smart Pikachu claims that Apple’s next-generation A18 Bionic chip will power the upcoming iPhone 16 models. Manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm fabrication process, it will be the successor to iPhone 15’s expected A17 Bionic chip.
The leaker also asserts that Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 dual connectivity options will be present on an A18 chip that will rival the likes of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 – both expected to launch in 2024.
Additionally, the tipster hints that at least one iPhone 16 variant will come equipped with a dual 48MP primary camera setup on the back. This aligns with previous reports that mentioned the iPhone 16 Pro getting a 5x optical zoom 48MP telephoto lens alongside the main camera.
While details are scarce right now, if this dual 48MP camera and 3nm-based A18 Bionic chip materialize, the 2024 iPhones could bring significant upgrades over iPhone 15 models. More concrete information is likely to surface as we move closer to 2024.
For now, we can expect sensor-shift stabilization for 48MP cameras as well as better power efficiency from the A18 chip manufactured through the next-gen 3nm process to keep the phone slim and deliver improved battery life. Stay tuned for more updates!
