JAKARTA - Apple is rumored to be launching its newest chipset, Apple A20, which will only be available for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple's first highly anticipated foldable phone. This chip is said to be a major leap in performance as it will be manufactured using TSMC's 2nm fabrication technology, making it Apple's most advanced chip so far.
Meanwhile, the standard version of the iPhone 18 model, such as the iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18 Air, will reportedly continue to use the A19 chip, possibly with little speed increase or efficiency.
According to the latest rumors, the A20 chip will not be cheap to produce, so Apple is likely to limit its use to only high-end models in order to maintain the profit margin. The move is also in line with Apple's strategy over the past few years that further differentiates features between Pro and regular models.
Apple is said to be using TSMC's WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) technology. This technology allows integration of various components such as CPU, GPU, and live memory at the wafer level, creating more efficient and power efficient chips.

With this strategy, Apple further emphasizes that Pro means top performance.
Although Apple has not even announced the iPhone 17, rumors about the iPhone 18 continue to emerge. The most interesting thing is the leak that 2026 will be the first foldable iPhone's official debut, after years of Apple avoiding the foldable market that is now getting busy.
In addition, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models are said to be the first iPhone with Face ID under the scenes. Although the front camera is still visible, this is the first step towards an iPhone without a notch at all, which is said to be present on the iPhone's 20th birthday model.
If these rumors are true, then the iPhone 18 will come with a more significant distinction between Pro and regular models, especially in terms of a kitchen runway. The 2nm-based A20 chip will make the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max the most powerful devices from Apple so far, as well as pave the way for the folding iPhone era.
