iphone 14 insists on using A15. I think there are three reasons for the following:
The first point is to continue to widen the gap between the standard version and the Pro series and increase the sales of the Pro series.
The second point is that the global chip shortage problem has not been completely solved. The A15 used by the iPhone 13 Pro is TSMC's 5nm process, while the A16 uses the TSMC's 4nm process. If Apple uses the TSMC's 4nm process, it will only increase the chip production capacity pressure and have a certain impact on the shipment of the iPhone 14 series.
The third point is that the Snapdragon processor is not under pressure. Currently, Apple's A-series processors are ahead of the Snapdragon generation, and their power consumption control is even more amazing. Therefore, Android processor manufacturers are under pressure, so Apple chooses to use mixed processors to reduce production capacity pressure.

The figure below shows that the full-blooded A15 on the iPhone 14 is stronger than Snapdragon 8+ in terms of single-core performance and multi-core performance.
Apple A15 is indeed ahead of Snapdragon processor in terms of comprehensive performance.

In terms of power consumption, the A15 processor consumes very low power, leading the Snapdragon processors.
So in order to continue to increase the sales of the Pro series, reduce the pressure of process production capacity, and Android processor manufacturers do not make it difficult to make the iPhone 14 insist on using A15.
