A report from Apple’s supply chain indicates that Apple’s A18 Pro chip will feature a larger die area (vs the A17 Pro), which could be needed for more AI computing power.<\/p>\n

The report comes from Jeff Pu at Haitong International Tech research, via 9to5Mac<\/i> The chip will reportedly process AI on-device, something current top-dog Androids can already do thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.<\/p>\n

The increased die area on the A18 Pro means the chip can accommodate more transistors or specialized components – hinting at the hugely improved Neural Engine we’ve heard about<\/a>. Apple could leverage AI on its 2024 iPhones by using a combination of on-device AI and Google’s Gemini AI, which Apple is reportedly looking to license<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Report:<\/p>\n

In Pu’s memo, he deliberately underscores the A18 Pro as the 6-GPU version, which confirming the existence of the A18 non-Pro chip with a lesser GPU, for one.<\/p>\n

This ties in nicely with reports that the entire iPhone 16 lineup will adopt the A18 SoC<\/a> only there’s going to be a twist. The 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will get AI-ready A18 Pro SoCs, while the vanilla 16 and 16 Plus will get bumped the plain A18.<\/p>\n
