iPhone 16e<\/a> was launched by Apple<\/a> on Wednesday as the latest entry-level model and the spiritual successor to the iPhone SE (2022). While the phone carries similar specifications as the flagship iPhone 16 series, including the same 48-megapixel primary camera, inclusion of Apple Intelligence features, and an A18 SoC, the latter’s architecture is different from its iPhone 16 counterpart. It is said to be a binned version of the A18 chipset which might potentially affect the device’s performance.<\/p>\n

Binned A18 Pro SoC on the iPhone 16e<\/h2>\n

First spotted<\/a> by 9to5Mac, Apple’s latest affordable iPhone<\/a> model uses a binned version of the iPhone 16’s<\/a> A18 chipset. A look at the technical specifications<\/a> of the iPhone 16e reveals that it uses a hexa-core CPU and a quad-core GPU, and while the standard model’s SoC has the same CPU, its GPU count is five.<\/p>\n

The GPU gap is further increased when compared with the A18 Pro chipset found on the iPhone 16 Pro<\/a> models. It retains the same CPU core count but has a hexa-core GPU architecture. With this change, the CPU performance is expected to be the same, potential repercussions when carrying out graphic-intensive tasks, such as playing 3D games, are speculated.<\/p>\n

However, Apple is yet to reveal if this change has any impact on the iPhone 16e’s performance.<\/p>\n

This move is said to be a result of a process known as chip binning. Notably, it is a quality stage during a chip’s fabrication process where the higher performing SoCs are kept for the premium devices, whilst the less than optimal chipsets are used in other devices with a fewer number of cores in action.<\/p>\n

Despite using a binned version of Apple’s A18 SoC, the iPhone 16e still comes with support for Apple Intelligence<\/a> \u2014 the Cupertino-based technology company’s artificial intelligence (AI<\/a>) suite for the iPhone, iPad, and other devices. Thus, it suggests that the phone might have 8GB of RAM, which is the base requirement for accessing the AI features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
