Apple’s Latest Chip to Power Entry-Level iPhones and iPads

Apple plans to equip its entry-level iPhones and iPads, including the new iPhone SE, with the A18 chip to introduce Apple Intelligence features to a broader range of devices. Historically, the iPhone SE has received the latest chips, and this move aligns with Apple’s strategy to promote AI capabilities across its product lineup. This update will likely extend to other entry-level devices like the iPad and iPad mini.

Consequences:

• Increased performance and AI capabilities in entry-level Apple devices.
• Broader access to Apple Intelligence features for consumers.
• Heightened competition in the entry-level smartphone and tablet market.
