Other Will the iPhone 13 use the M1 chip like the 2021 iPad Pro?

Just speculation seeming the iPad Pro is using it... it would not be surprising if the iPhone will also use too.

Making the the point that your smartphone has a superior performance per Watt than some Intel or AMD part.
 
Good question. If I were to guess I'd say they'll keep using A series chips.

But who knows, M1 in iPad, never saw that coming.
 
Could say M1 7 GPU == A14X and M1 8 GPU == A14Z going by the A12X/Z naming so not really outside Apples normal modus operandi except the 16GB ram. So I think the next IPhone will still get a new A15. I think It is more interesting what the rumored high end chips with 12, 16 etc. Cores Will be based on, A14 or A15.
 
No.

Unless power consumption didn't matter and Apple wanted slap 16GB of RAM on the iPhone. M1 is a big and power hungry package.

M1 in iPad Pro obviously made sense. Apple has advertised it as a computer for years. It now has Thunderbolt 3.

Yep, the M1 in an iphone would throttle down to the point that it would perform worse than an A14 bionic, and use a lot more battery in the process. Right now the A14 bionic is overkill for iphones, heck even the A12 and A13 are not even remotely pushed to their limits.

Lol, ANYTHING can happen, Apple has made that clear! 😀

Let’s play the game though:
iPhone Pro and Pro Max - M1
iPhone, iPhone Mini, iPhone SE - A series

The above is just a wild guess, no eyebrows or any other body parts will be put on the line!

TBH I do not know if I will be getting the iPhone 13/12s by December. I did not have much use for the 11 for the last 13 months.
