Ming-Chi Kuo, famous for hitting rumors about Apple, claims that the Pro versions will use the A16 version of the chip, while the other versions will still use the A15 Bionic processor.

Only two Pro models would upgrade to the A16 processor, while the 14 & 14 Max will remain the A15. All four new models will likely come with 6GB RAM, with the difference being LPDDR 5 (14 Pro & 14 Pro Max) vs. LPDDR 4X (14 & 14 Max). https://t.co/tHcszIz6gX

The iPhone has had different models for a long time, but with differences in size, manufacturing materials, and cameras. If the rumor is confirmed, the 2022 line may also have differences in performance.
The analyst also claims that Apple will continue with its annual cycle of chip improvements, but only for the Pro models. However, he believes that all models will come with 6GB of memory.
According to him, the Pro versions will use LPDDR5 while the others will have LPDDR 4X. It is worth remembering that the first has data reading with better efficiency and can result in a battery saving of 30%.
Ming-Chi Kuo also explains that the company will change the way it names the line. According to him, Apple will call the Pro models iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, while the other models would be iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max. Sizes should also be similar, with 6.1-inch screens on the regular versions and 6.7-inch for the Max variants.
