Apple expects higher demand from the upcoming models and, as a result, has reportedly asked suppliers to raise production by 20 percent compared to the iPhone 12 series.

While the report states that these shipments are meant for the iPhone 13 series, it is possible Apple keeps an extra stock for upcoming devices intended to use this chipset.

For 2022, a previous report claimed that Apple would use the A15 Bionic to power the iPhone SE.

Speaking of battery life, the upcoming chipset will have to do a tremendous job on that front as both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are reported to ship with LTPO OLED screens, thereby having the ability to dynamically switch their refresh rate up to 120Hz.
