Apple's Big Upgrade in 2026: iPhone 18 Series Features 2nm A20 Chip, iPhone SE4 to Launch with All-Screen Design

Apple, a tech giant, has always been in the spotlight for its product updates. As the smartphone industry becomes increasingly competitive, Apple faces immense pressure. To maintain its market competitiveness, Apple has been continuously introducing new strategies in recent years, actively innovating from the new SE series to the new digital series, and even the operating system.

Recently, a blogger prematurely revealed Apple's new iPhone to be launched in 2026, the iPhone 18 series, and also disclosed the release date of iPhone SE4, sparking heated discussions. According to the blogger's revelations, the iPhone 18 series in 2026 will be the first to adopt the 2nm processor A20, which features a new WMCM package, and the memory will also be upgraded to 12GB.

Apple has always been a pioneer in advanced process technology, constantly leading the development of chip technology from 7nm, 5nm to 3nm. Currently, TSMC will begin mass production of the 2nm process by the end of 2025, and Apple has already booked all the production capacity in the initial stage of mass production. Therefore, it is expected that the iPhone 18 series will adopt the 2nm process. Compared to the 3nm process, the 2nm process is expected to improve performance by 10-15% and reduce power consumption by 30%.

The A20 chip will also use a new WMCM packaging method, delivering superior performance in terms of heat dissipation, signal transmission, etc., providing users with a more stable and smooth user experience. With 12GB of RAM as standard across the entire series, this configuration, compared to the current mainstream 8GB of RAM, will undoubtedly bring a smoother user experience. More RAM allows the phone to run more applications simultaneously and provide better background retention capabilities.

It is worth noting that while analysts previously predicted that only the ProMax in the iPhone 17 series would be equipped with 12GB of RAM, the blogger's revelation indicates that the iPhone 18 series may come standard with 12GB of RAM across the entire series.

However, Apple has always adhered to a differentiation strategy, and there will still be differences in configuration between different models. It is expected that the iPhone 18 ProMax will be the first to feature the 2nm A20 chip and be equipped with 12GB of memory, making it the top-of-the-line version of the series. The iPhone 18 may miss out on the 2nm chip and 12GB of memory, still using the 3nm chip and lower memory configuration. This differentiation strategy helps Apple meet the needs of different users, but for users with limited budgets, they will not be able to enjoy the more extreme experience.

In addition to the iPhone 18 series, the highly anticipated iPhone SE4 has also revealed its release date. There have been reports that the new iPhone SE4 will be released in March next year, with a confirmed all-screen design, the same size as the iPhone 16. There have been many rumors circulating about the iPhone SE4, but there has been no confirmation of its release date. Now that the release date has been settled, it also means that Apple fans are increasingly excited about the future of technology.

It is understood that the iPhone SE4 will feature an all-screen design on the front and use a notch screen design, the Dynamic Island design will not be downgraded for now. In terms of performance, the iPhone SE4 is expected to be equipped with Apple's latest A18 chip, with 8GB of RAM built-in, and it will be the first to launch Apple's self-developed 5G baseband. In terms of camera configuration, it will feature a single-lens system on the back, supporting 48 million pixel video shooting. Although the single-lens configuration has some functional limitations, Apple's advantages in image processing algorithms will ensure that its shooting effects are still excellent. In addition, it is expected to be equipped with a USB-C interface and a 3279mAh battery capacity, and even with a 60Hz refresh rate screen, the experience will not be bad.

Whether it's the performance boost brought by the 2nm A20 chip, the smooth experience brought by 12GB of RAM, or the release date of the cost-effective iPhone, all of this makes Apple's future development full of hope. We believe Apple will continue to bring more surprises in the future, and we look forward to it.
