There are rumors that only the Pro models will get A16, and that they will have specs that justify a base price increase like more flash memory by default.

So it isn't outside the realm of possibility that the A16 design is 3nm, and they will delay its launch and/or otherwise make it less desirable to deal with lower initial production yield.

The iPhone 14 with A16 will be announced September 7th it looks like. People will have them within a month from now. There is no way it can be N3 as it takes months from HVM start to actual devices hitting the shelves. The iPhone 14 has already millions of devices sitting in warehouses.

The A16 will be N4P I'd guess. In my initial comment I should have said A17 for N3 instead of A16.
