Over the past few months, we have seen reports detailing the drastic measures Apple will take to differentiate between the Pro and non-Pro iPhone models this year. The biggest differentiator between the two lineups is expected to the fact that the same Apple A15 Bionic chip from last year will power this year’s non-Pro iPhone 14 models. That means only the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will come with the A16 Bionic chip. But, before we dismiss the non-Pro models for including an older chip, a new report has surfaced today, suggesting that the iPhone 14 and 14 Max with the A15 chipset will be speedier than the iPhone 13 series.

As per a recent tweet from the tipster who goes by the name ShrimpApplePro, the non-Pro iPhone 14 models may use older hardware, but the Cupertino will introduce some changes in the A15 chipset to give these phones a speed boost. The tipster suggests that a “new cellular mode, new internals design, etc” could lead to an overall performance boost over the previous-gen iPhone 13 series.

Despite using some old hardware, iPhone 14 non pro still have some overall performance boost over the iPhone 13 series New cellular modem, new internals design, ect— ShrimpApplePro 🍤 (@VNchocoTaco) August 1, 2022

As opposed to the smaller notch on the iPhone 14 series, the same as last year’s models, the iPhone 14 Pro models will switch to the long-rumored pill-cum-hole design. Yeah, Apple is finally getting rid of the notch later this year. That’s not all, though. The Pro models are also expected to include an upgraded display that supports always-on display, the new A16 Bionic chipset with upgraded LPDDR5 RAM, and more importantly, a 48MP camera.
