If getting the latest Apple chipset is important to you, you might have to fork over the big bucks for the Pro models. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims only the iPhone 14 Pro models will come equipped with the A16 processor. Consequently, Apple is expected to sell many of its Pro models. Kuo has previously suggested that the iPhone 14 will retain the iPhone 13's A15 processor. He is now just repeating his claim.
Kuo expects this change to impact orders for "high-end camera component suppliers." He foresees increased orders that will give these companies "significant YoY growth." Kuo estimates a 100% increase for Sony, which makes the FaceTime camera, and LG Innotek, which manufactures the camera modules. He sees a 60% to 70% growth for lens maker Largan and voice coil motor manufacturer Alps.
