Taiwanese media outlet Business Times suggests that the Apple iPhone 16e is expected to feature the A18 chip, manufactured using TSMC’s second-generation 3nm N3E process, while its custom-designed 5G chip, C1, has a 4nm modem and a 7nm receiver, both produced by TSMC.
The A18 chip (6-core CPU + 4-core GPU) utilizes TSMC’s N3E process and InFO-PoP (Integrated Fan-Out Package on Package) packaging technology, with its advanced neural network engine (NPU) powering Apple Intelligence features.
The iPhone 16e, Apple’s most affordable AI-powered phone, is expected to ship 22 million units in 2025, according to the report.
