Not even. The only device still in production using the A16 is the iPhone 15 (and plus if you consider that a different model).

    It seems likely the new iPhone SE will be released in the next 12 months, and if so, and it follows past patterns, it'll roughly use the iPhone 14 hardware and thus, the A16.

      The SE has always used the latest chip.

      No chance in hell Apple releases any new phones — even SEs — that can’t do Apple Intelligence.

        Now that I'm thinking about buying a new phone, maybe it's worth waiting for the SE to come out

        You are correct. I am wrong. And good point about Apple Intelligence. I'm disappointed in myself for not seeing that.

        The A16 could certainly run the AI with enough RAM

      And the next base model ipad may use it (or the older a15). iPad is currently using a14.

      Reportedly, the 2025 iPhone SE will use an A18-family SoC (same as this year’s iPhone 16 models).

      Could be used in an Apple TV as well?

Yeah why are these chips still produced at all? The iPhone 16 just came out and the 14/15 stockpiles will be sold off for cheaper just to get rid of them. What am I missing?

    The iPhone is not the only product Apple makes.

    The Apple Watch, TV, iPad, Studio Display, etc. all use variants of older A series SOCs.

      I totally forgot about the Apple TV devices and the screens. Yeah they also need SOCs .

    AppleTV, HomePod, a new display. Could be anything. There could also be government or corporate contracts requiring the mass production of a slightly older chip for something.
