Amid escalating memory expenses, insiders suggest that the A20 Pro chip—set to energize the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max—might, for the first time, incorporate a 96-bit LPDDR6 memory bus. This would mark a significant departure from Apple's nearly 13-year adherence to a 64-bit bandwidth configuration. The primary objective behind this shift is to substantially boost the performance of on-device large-scale AI models and the functionality of Siri operating directly on the device. In parallel, Apple intends to mitigate the impact of soaring memory costs by trimming down flash memory specification expenses on models with higher storage capacities.
