The information comes from famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who reported that Apple welcomes the restrictions on using the most powerful and latest chip only in the Pro variants of the iPhone. So even in 2023 we will have the iPhone 15 and 15 Max with the A16 Bionic, while the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will debut the A17.
