Original: Apple’s iPhone 18 is getting a ‘cheaper’ A20 chip to keep the overall phone affordable
Reports say Apple's iPhone 18, expected in 2026, will ship with a lower-cost variant of the A20 chip rather than the full version, a move aimed at keeping the phone's price down amid rising component costs. The chip, believed to be built on TSMC's 2nm process, would reportedly come in a cheaper packaging option. Commenters are weighing what a scaled-back processor could mean for performance in Apple's next flagship.
