Apple made a big change to iPhone processors in 2022. This was the first year the non-Pro and Pro iPhones featured different chips. The iPhone 14 Pros introduced the A16 Bionic that Apple later used for the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. But the base iPhone 14 variants featured the A15 Bionic chips from the previous year’s iPhone 13 series.
Apple continued this practice last year when it chose a different name for the chip powering the iPhone 15 Pros. That chip is the A17 Pro, which joined the A16 Bionic in Apple’s lineup.
