Where did the 15 go?!So next year you will be fine with A15 in the iphone 16 line up

I do and just about everyone I know does!Yes and that's why it can be more minor each year. Not everyone goes every year.
Well Apple will make sure it does work properly… DUHHH ….. oh and yes your cheap amazon head phones prob do drop but my Airpod pros have never, I can leave my phone inside and walk around my house just fine….DUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHIt would make sense to do the processing in the headset. It's going to be highly annoying if the data can't be delivered accurately. I have Bluetooth headset that I use when doing yard work, and they drop out quite a bit at times. Anything VR that has that problem isn't going to sell well, duh.
Look guy they keep everything the same and add a billion transistors…. Apple has this stuff to a science I mean wtf?!"No way?" Do you have information about the yields on the new process? If the process is not as mature as planned, I can see lower yields (like only half the chips on the wafer meeting spec) driving up the unit costs. If less than half the chips are sellable but those sales have to cover the cost of processing the whole wafer it could lead to prices over 2x plan. People who really want the leading edge stuff seem willing to pay the premium. Low yields would also be consistent with the continued use of the previous chip for the non-pro models. Apple would not want to wait for improved yields so could go forward with the release schedule this way. (I have no visibility on this... but the assertion that there is NO WAY the new chip could actually cost more than 2x the old chip does not seem reasonable. This explanation is just one of the ways it could actually cost Apple more than 2x.)
It’s completely irrelevant stating pre VAT prices though as that is not what the consumer pays or see as the advertised price. I keep seeing Americans on here telling others that iPhones are cheap in the UK and quoting a price with 20% VAT removed, but that is not the actual price that consumers pay or see advertised. Everything we buy here includes VAT whether it’s a litre of milk or a newspaper. Nobody looks at a RRP and deducts VAT to justify whether something is good value as all that counts is the actual price any product costs. Different mindsets in different countries I would say.

That is FALSE….. where do you people get this crap info? Sheesh
It must have been huge for you because I notice a big difference from my 12 pro max! Its a great chip!
I do think running apps and overall use on the 14 pro is incrementally more smoother, but not significantly different from the 13 pro. I read an article that said that the A16 Chips is actually just a more advanced 5nm process and not a true 4nm process like Apple was advertising. But what would be the ultimate version of the chip with the current technology, a 1nm process?
TSMC doesn't build N4 capacity unless there is contracted demand. Apple would have agreed to a price increase before TSMC built the lines.
You can't simply overclock a chip. Each of the blocks on the SoC are hand tuned for a certain target frequency. That's how Apple achieves great power efficiency. If you overclock, power and voltage will go up much faster than the clock.
$50 isn't trivial, but at the same time, Apple doesn't adjust prices annually. There is no way iPhone X and iPhone 14 Pro have the same materials cost even though both are $999.
Knowing a bit about this space, there is no company in the world that will swallow $50 increase in production costs. Sorry, not even apple.
You can't simply overclock a chip? Of course you can. Binning and overclocking is a tried and true strategy.
