Overview

  • An accidental code leak shared by @aaronp613 reveals that Apple plans to use the A17 Pro in a refreshed Apple TV 4K and the A18 chip for its next low-cost iPad, likely launching in spring 2026.
  • The same leak indicates the next-generation iPad mini and second-generation Studio Display will feature the unreleased A19 Pro, while the Vision Pro 2 is set to run on Apple’s M5 chip.
  • Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo projects that the A20 will switch from InFO to WMCM packaging and be manufactured on TSMC’s 2nm process, promising integrated RAM, higher bandwidth and improved power efficiency.
  • According to Kuo’s timeline, WMCM-packaged A20 chips will debut in iPhone 18 Pro and foldable models in the second half of 2026, with standard iPhone 18 variants following in spring 2027.
  • These insights remain unconfirmed by Apple and are based on interpretations of leaked code and supply-chain analysis, highlighting the need for official announcements to verify device and chipset plans.
