According to a statement by an expert analyst, not all models in the iPhone 14 series will have a new processor. Allegedly, when the new iPhone arrives, the iPhone 14 Pro models will have the A16 Bionic processor. Other models will have the A15 Bionic processor, which is currently used in the iPhone 13s. This claim was made by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Kuo said in a tweet, “Only two Pro models will be upgraded to the A16 processor, while the 14 and 14 Max models will continue to use the A15.” He continued: “But all iPhone 14 models are expected to have 6 gigabytes of RAM. The base models will have a 6.1-inch display and the Maxs will have a 6.7-inch display.”
According to Apple’s rules for naming iPhones, the four new 2H22 iPhones could be called iPhone 14 (6.1″), iPhone 14 Max (6.7″), iPhone 14 Pro (6.1″), and iPhone 14 Pro Max (6.7″).

The interesting detail here is that there is no mention of any iPhone mini model. Kuo says the new iPhones will be called iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
iPhone 14 may come with Wi-Fi 6E support and may be the first iPhone model to not use a physical SIM card.
Apple did not make any statement regarding these claims.
