Based on Apple’s past release patterns, they plan to unveil the iOS 18 beta in June next year, with the stable version launching in September.
Breaking information shows that Apple’s internal development code for iOS 18 is “Crystal”, citing four unreleased iPhone 16 models. Additionally, the system code reveals that the iPhone 16 models will all incorporate Apple’s new t8140 SoC, codenamed Tahiti, representing their in-house A18 chip. Since the iPhone 14 series, Apple has differentiated the standard and Pro models with distinct processor specs.
Sources indicate that while the iPhone 16 series will share the t8140 chip, branding variations such as A18 and A18 Pro are expected. This approach aims to amplify the Pro version’s performance edge and offer consumers more options.
In addition to the A18 chip with iOS 18, the iPhone 16 series will also feature Broadcom’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips, as operating system sources note. Details about these chips remain undisclosed, but we’ll keep monitoring and provide updates.
Apple’s ongoing hardware and software innovations keep its products highly competitive. The anticipation for the A18 and iPhone 16 series is high, promising an enhanced user experience for consumers. Stay tuned for more.
